Luister allemaal, muzikanten en artiesten
Zangers, zangeressen, rappers, dichters en ook componisten
Willen jullie stappen in de wereld die muziek heet?
Dan moet je eerst maar leren hoe de baas in die fabriek heet!
Wij zijn hier de directie, jullie maar het personeel
Jullie leveren muziek, wij doen het zakelijke deel
Begrepen? Dus jullie doen gewoon wat wij zeggen
En dan komt het wel goed, we zullen het je uitleggen:
Wij krijgen de poen, jullie de roem en de fans
Wij doen de marketing en letten op de centjes en trends
Wij bepalen wel wat hip is, en zeker wat een hit is
Wij weten hoe de jeugd denkt, Owat nu de shit is
Wij maken dus de trends, niet jullie of zij
Het is een spel tussen de media, de markt en wij
De jongeren zijn koopvee die wij manipuleren
Sterren worden gemaakt, en talent is te leren!
WIJ ZIJN DE JONGENS UIT DE INDUSTRIE
Wij weten het want wij verkopen het
WIJ ZIJN DE JONGENS UIT DE INDUSTRIE
We worden rijk en de artiesten die hopen het
WIJ ZIJN DE JONGENS UIT DE INDUSTRIE
Wij stelen shit en wij helen shit
WIJ ZIJN DE JONGENS UIT DE INDUSTRIE
Blijf lekker spelen en laat ons maar verdelen, kid!
Hier is een voorschot. Je vindt dat geld naar meer smaakt?
Dan zal ik jou vertellen hoe je hitjes maakt:
Hier is een choreograaf die je zegt hoe je staan moet
En een hippe styliste die beslist wat je aan moet
Een logopediste die verteld hoe je zingen moet
En een eigen manager die verder al je dingen doet
Dan geeft onze producer je een hip geluid
volgens de vaste succesformule en die luidt:
Een bekend melodietje met een beatje er door
En wil je niet, dan nemen wij dr wel een ander grietje voor
Je image is een rol, en die rol is je baan
En je teksten mogen daarom ook nergens over gaan
Want zolang niemand zich stoort, aan jouw muziek en woord
kunnen wij je plaatje pluggen zodat iedereen het hoort
We hebben overal relaties, vriendjes en connecties
WIJ REGEREN! Vandaar dat deze industrie perfect is!
WIJ ZIJN DE JONGENS UIT DE INDUSTRIE
Wij weten het want wij verkopen het
WIJ ZIJN DE JONGENS UIT DE INDUSTRIE
We worden rijk en de artiesten die hopen het
WIJ ZIJN DE JONGENS UIT DE INDUSTRIE
Wij stelen shit en wij helen shit
WIJ ZIJN DE JONGENS UIT DE INDUSTRIE
Blijf lekker spelen en laat ons maar verdelen, kid!
Jullie industrie maakt muziek verrot
Jullie industrie maakt muziek kapot
Jullie industrie maakt muziek tot hoer
Want jullie industrie die geeft geen moer!
Zie je zaken als een spel, speel het spel dan wel
Want worden zaken je leven, is je leven een spel
De muziek is evenwel nooit gebouwd om het spel
Maar het spel om de muziek, let wel en stel:
De muziek is het produkt, en niet de fabriek
Want de fabriek maakt muziek, en jullie spel dus niet
De producent is het brein, grote kunst in het klein
En leven is geen gein als er geen brein zou zijn!
