Cheap Rip-Off Songtext
von Simon Dawes

So on his way I can see the industry sleuth thread
With only lust in his eyes and sleazy girls on his breath
Well we surrendered our song, surrendered our name
Yeah we throw our hands up, the crowd no longer pays

I′m so scared to measure up
My list of heroes, it goes on and on
I'll just feed it to the girls

A cheap rip-off′s what I like
A cheap rip-off's what I like
A cheap rip-off does me right
A cheap rip-off's what I like


He introduced himself as Stuart but we only called him Al
He said "I really ain′t that crazy, just born with blood in my mouth"
He said he′s ready for a change, I'm ready for a fight
Oh he′s looking for a queer and there ain't one in sight

And I guess I′m scared to measure up
My list of heroes, it goes on and on
And I'll just feed it to the girls

A cheap rip-off′s what I like
A cheap rip-off's what I like
A cheap rip-off does me right
A cheap rip-off's what I like

The album wasn′t cut, the lady′s bled you dry
Don't tell me it don′t matter, don't tell me it don′t matter
They're nothing cheap but you got nothing better

A cheap rip-off′s what I like
A cheap rip-off's what I like
A cheap rip-off does me right
A cheap rip-off's what I like
