Record boss said we would be a smash
Yeah, go straight to Number One
He talked of hits and tours and lots of cash
And all the time it wasn't on
And I believed every word was true
yeah I swallowed every line
I believed every word he said
And I didn't find out in time
(Chorus:)
We were betrayed, betrayed, betrayed
Betrayed, betrayed by rough trade lies
We quit our jobs and got all set to fly
Your promises had us riding high
but it's a dirty rough tough trade we find
"Yeah we agreed, but you hadn't signed
Sorry son, gonna have to throw you
Our lawyers say we don't even know you"
Music is money, kids are no-account fools
You trade in us, we get betrayed by you
(Chorus)
And you're sitting there in your London office
Snug and warm
And you think that you've won but
Just remember this is just round one
We're gonna do it our way
We're gonna make it on our own
Because we've found people to trust
People who put music first
(Chorus)
Why can't you tell us the truth?
Why did you lie to us?
Stiff Little Fingers sono una rock band nordirlandese di Belfast, formatasi nel 1977. Inizialmente si chiamavano Highway Star e suonavano cover di rock, fino a quando non scoprirono il punk. Dopo sei anni e quattro album, la band si sciolse, per poi riunirsi cinque anni dopo, nel 1987. Nonostante importanti cambiamenti nella formazione, continuano ancora oggi a girare in tour e registrare musica. Jake Burns, cantante principale, è l'unico membro rimasto presente in tutte le incarnazioni della band. Nel marzo 2006, il bassista originale Ali McMordie tornò a suonare con la band dopo il ritiro di Bruce Foxton (ex The Jam), che aveva suonato per quindici anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
