Sold Out Shows
Don't you think they've sold out rock 'n' roll
To a marketing campaign for a mobile phone
Don't you think that it would be a shame
If every single venue was exactly the same
Well I like playing gigs, I like the people, like the crowd
I been doing this for a long, long time now
But recently my gigs are all in corporate academies
And there's something about them that annoys me
Don't you think they've sold out rock 'n' roll
To a marketing campaign for a mobile phone
Don't you think that it would be a shame
If every single venue was exactly the same
£4.80 for a pint of Guinness in a plastic glass
You must be fucking joking mate, you're having a laugh
The bar staff get paid pittance, they take money from your merch

And there's plasma screen TV's everywhere advertising stuff
Don't you think they've sold out rock 'n' roll
To a marketing campaign for a mobile phone
Don't you think that it would be a shame
If every single venue was exactly the same
I understand it's just a sign of the times
And there's corporate branding everywhere and no-one seems to mind
But I can't be the only one who wishes there was something made for a reason that wasn't advertising
Don't you think they've sold out rock 'n' roll
To a marketing campaign for a mobile phone
Don't you think that it would be a shame
If every single venue was exactly the same
