Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — Joe

My name's Joe, I'm the CEO Yeah I'm the man makes the big wheels roll I'm the hand on the green-light switch You get to be famous, I get to be rich Go get me a kid with a good-looking face Bring me a kid can remember his place Some hungry poet son-of-a-bitch He gets to be famous, I get to be rich Or bring me a girl, they're always the best You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick Hey! Now that's what I call music! Well, they'll come looking for money when the public gets bored But we'll fight 'em with lawyers they could never afford Yeah, I'll make her look like a spoiled little bitch She gets to be famous, I get to be rich Or bring me a girl, they're always the best You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick Hey! Now that's what I call music! So burned-out Johnny thinks the books are shifty What good is that alky to me when he's fifty? Well we could move catalog, if he'd only die quicker Send my regards to the gig and a case of good liquor He gets to be famous, I get to be rich He gets to be famous, I get to be rich My name's Joe, I'm the CEO I'm the man that makes the big wheels roll
