Well, they told me to come on 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 and 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 couldn't 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 would bury me
If I didn't play their game
They said I
didn't know the score
And that I was young and green
They were bigame operators
On
the music business scene
Tried to hold me to a phoney contract
I said I didn't
agree
Had to get out of the clutches
Had to go underground you see
Now I'm living in
another country
But I know exactly just where I've 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 and places
Baby, you know who I mean
