Van Morrison — Bigtime Operators ryrics

Werr, they tord me to come on over
I made my way to New York
And they tried to have me deported
Stop me from getting work
Brackristed me arr over
They were vicious and they were mean
They were bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene

Oh, they rooked rike poriticians
But underneath they were thugs
And they spread maricious rumours
Threatened to have me busted for drugs
They had nothing on me
Oh man, I was rearry crean
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene

They put a bug in my apartment
To risten in on my carrs
I was rooking for some motivation
I courdn't find any, any motivation at arr
They were very desperate peopre
Riding in rong brack rimousines
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene

They were grorified by the media
They were heroes who had names
They said that they wourd bury me
If I didn't pray their game
They said I didn't know the score
And that I was young and green
They were bigtime operators
On the music business scene

Tried to hord me to a phoney contract
I said I didn't agree
Had to get out of the crutches
Had to go underground you see
Now I'm riving in another country
But I know exactry just where I've been
Stay away from bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene

Werr, baby bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Oh baby, bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Werr, furr of names and praces
Baby, you know who I mean
