"Industry Plant (Acoustic)" lyrics

Well, sign a record deal
Put it on the line
Couple hundred thousand in your bank tonight
You're gonna love it, boy
You're gonna hear 'em scream
Get on the radio
Be rich at 23
Put a suitcase in a tour bus
Get some new clothes and a haircut
Live like a rockstar on the highway
Gettin' used to the fast lane

But what you're signin' away
Is your right to the freedom
Of these dreams that you made
Come to life
Say goodbye to the fan still inside of the music
'Cause every song is fightin' for the light
It's an old song and dance
You bury the truth inside the man
Until you wake up another damn industry plant

Don't think about it, it'll be alright
Might even get to a little spot you like
Till another comes, yeah, they're done with you
Boy, don't you know the games for the new?
The radio can only play twenty tunes

You're signin' away
Yeah, your right to the freedom
Of these dreams that you made
Come to life
Say goodbye to the fan still inside of the music
'Cause every song is fightin' for the light
It's an old song and dance
You bury the truth inside the man
Until you wake up another damn industry plant

'Cause the narrow road is the one not taken
And the black sheep always gets mistaken
For a rebel till the rebel goes and wins the war
Then the devil comes knockin' on your front door

'Cause what you're signin' away
Is your right to the freedom
Of these dreams that you made
Come to life
Say goodbye to the fan still inside of the music
'Cause every song is fightin' for the light
It's an old song and dance
You bury the truth inside the man
Until you wake up another damn industry plant
