Industry Rule Songtext
von Jonah Smith

People wondering how I′m gonna deal with the pressure
People wondering how I'm gonna try to survive
In the city

I was pounding the pavement
Trying to make it
In the city that doesn′t sleep
Getting cold stares
And cold feet
But I know if I can make it there...

Blowing up the spot
In a one hour spot
In a downtown club
With shady money tactics
They give you just a little bit
And say, "don't you want more of this?"


People wondering how I'm gonna deal with the pressure
People wondering how I′m gonna try to survive
In the city

Well, we′re turning our villains into heroes
And our role models are just lucky chumps
With sex appeal
It's the twenty-first century and the music business
Is politics as usual
I heard that Clinton joined the Plastercasters
Hey man, he blows a mean saxophone...

People wondering how I′m gonna deal with the pressure
People wondering how I'm gonna try to survive
In the city

People wondering how I′m gonna deal with the pressure
People wondering how I'm gonna try to survive
People wondering how I′m gonna deal with the pressure
People wondering how I'm gonna try to survive
