Lyrics
DIAMOND KEYS
First you give a little, then they take a lot
It’s just percentages, now you lost the plot
You want to share your art
They’re gonna take a cut
You gotta sell yourself and before long…
They’ll provide the access to prove
How much better you could do
If you play their game
If you follow their rules
Now you’re doing everything but the single thing you wanted to do
First you give a little, then they take a lot
In perpetuity, now you’re really fucked
You want to live your dream
They’re gonna take a cut
You gotta sell yourself and before long...
You’ll thank them for the golden handcuffs
while they wave their diamond keys
Because they’re buying up every room
And what they own is a necessity
So you turn to your audience
They can’t be reached without a fee
So I’m saying something now
Because they’re replacing us eventually
