Van Morrison - Bigtime Operators lyrics

Well, they told me to c´mon over
I made my way to New York
And they tried to have me deported
Stop me from getting work
Blacklisted me all over
They were vicious & they were mean
They were bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene

Oh, they looked like politicians
But underneath they were thugs
And they spread malicious rumours
Threatened to have me busted for drugs
They had nothing on me
Oh man, I was really clean
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene

They put a bug in my apartment
To listen in on my calls
I was looking for some motivation
I could not find any, any motivation at all
They were very desperate people
Riding in long black limousines
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene

They were glorified by the media
They were heroes who had names
They said that they´d bury me
If I did not play their game
They said I did not know the score
And that I was young & green
They were bigame operators
On the music business scene

Tried to hold me to a phoney contract
I said I did not agree
Had to get out of the clutches
Had to go underground you see
Now I am living in another country
But I know exactly just where I have been
Stay away from bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene

Well, baby bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Oh baby, bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Well, full of names & places
Baby, you know who I mean
