This song was written leading into a Canadian Idol experience. It's also about the music business in general.
lyrics
Spread em' out. Let em' sing.
Pull em' out because numbers win
Where's all the loving? Can we assume?
The fortress is crumbling.
Who swung the wreckin' ball baby?
You ain't the only ride
You may pass me by,
But I'll walk right into someday
Blind men ride the waves
That don't take em' far
You got an industry crying
You may be holding the deal
Let me remind you, you're just a spoke in the wheel
Right on the road brother
You're going in the ditch
I'm in the field. Ploughing's a bitch.
You're weak in the knees
There's slime on your spine
A worm in your ear.
You turn on a dime
I'm swimming in the reeds
A dog in the dust
Throw me a bone
Where is the trust?
