The Shut Out

Graeham Goble
April 27th, 1985

There's a shut out, goin' on
There's a big shout, from the man on the phone
And there's no one to say it is wrong
There's a shut out

There's a hold out, in the wings
Somebody sold out, when somebody sings
They don't listen 'til the phone rings
There's a shut out

Rich man, poor man, all on the make
They all think they got what it takes
All fired up and ready to go
They'll find out there'll be no show

There is heartache, down the line
For the big break, we're ready to sign
And we believe it, 'til the day we find
There's a shut out

Kids with fire and plenty to say
Get cut down before they can play
High ideals and people who dare
Give way to millionaires

There's a shut out, goin' on
There's a big shout, from the man on the phone
But there's no doubt, he'll get back his own
And be shut out
There's a shut out

It's a shut out
It's a shut out, a shut out, shut out
