Producer

I travelled eight hundred miles to hear some guy say,
     "I like the music, but it isn't what we need;"
In other words, the songs I write, the songs I play,
     Won't sell enough to satisfy his greed.

You don't write about sex,
     And sex is what sells.
You don't write about women
     Locked up in jail.
You don't write about drugs
     Or gangs in the 'hood.
I can't market this crap,
     But, hey, the music is good.
