I signed on the line
For seven long years
They said Id be a big star
They said Id get a big car
All the coke I could tube
All the dope I could shoot
All the smoke I could smoke
But now Im bein off n broke
They said I oughta re-record
The tracks of my tears
They said: hey! this is it!
Its gonna be a big hit
With my name up in lights
And some custom-made tights
All the girls call my name
(massimo!)
But it was all just a game
Nigger biznis
Nigger biznis
Well, nigger biznis all the time
Well, nigger biznis has brought disaster
On top of this here heart of mine
(well, nows the time to play the blues!)
Well, one day that contract will expire
One day I will be free
From that nig-ger, nig-gig-gig-ger, nigger biznis
All this nigger biznis
All this repressing me nigger biznis
Nigger biznis
Oh, nigger biznis all the time, all along
Well, nigger biznis has brought destruction
Which is why youre here in this song
Frank Vincent Zappa (1940-1993) was an American musician, composer, record producer, and filmmaker considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Zappa began his musical career in the 1960s as the leader of The Mothers of Invention, with whom he released innovative and provocative albums that blended rock, jazz, classical music, and avant-garde. Known for his multi-instrumental talent, complex songwriting, and energetic performances, Zappa produced a vast discography of over 60 studio albums. Among his most representative tracks are "Purple Haze", "Peaches en Regalia" and "Billy the Mountain".
