Van Morrison - Bigtime Operators Lyrics
Well, they told me to come on overI made my way to new yorkAnd they tried to have me deportedStop me from getting workBlacklisted me all overThey were vicious and they were meanThey were bigtime operatorsBaby, on the music business sceneOh, they looked like politiciansBut underneath they were thugsAnd they spread malicious rumoursThreatened to have me busted for drugsThey had nothing on meOh man, I was really cleanBut they were bigtime operatorsOn the music business sceneThey put a bug in my apartmentTo listen in on my callsI was looking for some motivationI couldnt find any, any motivation at allThey were very desperate peopleRiding in long black limousinesBut they were bigtime operatorsOn the music business sceneThey were glorified by the mediaThey were heroes who had namesThey said that they would bury meIf I didnt play their gameThey said I didnt know the scoreAnd that I was young and greenThey were bigame operatorsOn the music business sceneTried to hold me to a phoney contractI said I didnt agreeHad to get out of the clutchesHad to go underground you seeNow Im living in another countryBut I know exactly just where Ive beenStay away from bigtime operatorsBaby, on the music business sceneWell, baby bigtime operatorsOn the music business sceneOh baby, bigtime operatorsOn the music business sceneWell, full of names and placesBaby, you know who I mean
