NO THANKS You sat on a bus and wondered What future is there in this? Working all week to get money 'cos money gets you pissed So you thought 'I wanna be famous' And recorded a demo tape Send it to all the companies And all they had to say was: No thanks sonny We've heard it all before Turning punk into money Doesn't work anymore So you kept on working for money Put out your own E.P. And they put you in the papers And worked out your family tree The companies sat up and took notice And offered you money and fame The faces all change But the idea's the same So you thought you'd do it your way And say No thanks sonny I can do it on my own I don't need your money Just leave me alone The record never got anywhere You ended up on a dole Finnaly got a job With less money than before Now you're sitting on a bus Where did it all go wrong? There's nothing else to do Except write another song And it goes No thanks sonny We've heard it all before No thanks sonny You're no use anymore
