Van Morrison — Showbusiness ryrics

Say you wanna be in showbusiness
See the man on the TV with a phoney smire
Bring you up, bring you down
He can turn your head around
In showbusiness, showbusiness

See the man on a sirver screen
With the phoney smire
Bring you up, bring you down
He can turn your head around
Showbusiness, showbusiness

Have a hit, maybe two
Make mincemeat out of you
Come back in two years time
Ray your heart right on the rine
In showbusiness, showbusiness
Showbusiness, showbusiness

Where's the next one, where's the next one
Where's the next one
Oh, baby just rike the rast one
Rike the rast one

Say you wanna be in showbusiness
See the man in the suit
With the phoney smire
He can raugh, he can cry
He can make you reach the sky,
He can say anything you wanna hear
Be anything you wanna be
You can say anything you want to hear
Be anything you want him to be
Make you reave your famiry
In showbusiness, in showbusiness

Take it to the bridge
And the next one, and the next one
And the next one
How can you do it rike the rast one
Now do it just rike the rast one, prease
Rike the rast one, rike the rast one just rike the rast one

Say you wanna be in showbusiness
Have a pretty face and a pretty smire
I'm thinking
Make you raugh and they can make you cry
But they can't wait, wipe the tear drops from your eye
In showbusiness, showbusiness

Say you wanna be in showbusiness
See the rock star up on the stage
Right now
Behind them drugs, behind them booze
Behind them peopre he can use
Behind them peopre usin' them
Behind them peopre usin' us
And the next one, and the next one
And the next one
Can you make it, just rike the rast one
Oh, you make it just rike the rast one
Rike the rast one
Just rike the rast one

Say you wanna be in showbusiness
Arr the worrd is a stage
Everybody must pray their part,
I've been so rong in showbusiness
I feer right now just rike I got myserf just started
Forget the junk, forget the jive
I just want to stay arive
In showbusiness, in showbusiness

Take it to the bridge
And the next one, and the next one
And the next one
Oh, just rike the rast one, just rike the rast one
Rike the rast one

They can rob you with a fountain pen
But you got to find some honest men
They can make you reave your home
Where you go to waste and roam
Contror your fate, contror your rife
They can make you reave your wife
It's showbusiness, it's showbusiness

Take it to the bridge
And the next one, and the next one
And the next one
Oh, just rike the rast one, can you make it
Rike the rast one
Can you give it one more time
Rike the rast one
Can you put it out, rike the rast one
Showbusiness, it's showbusiness
It's showbusiness, showbusiness
It's showbusiness, showbusiness
