Wicked Plans Unveiled: Gatsbys American Dream's Anthem of Music Industry Realities
Lyrics
We'll book this tour and it'll be oh so good
We plan to organize this tour, and it will be very successful.
But we're gonna steal your guarantee
However, we intend to take away the guaranteed earnings.
Oh steer clear
A warning to stay away or avoid us.
We're on a wicked path
We are on a morally wrong or harmful course of action.
We've got plans
We have specific intentions or schemes.
Wicked Plans
These intentions or plans are particularly harmful or malevolent.
And it's the least we can do
We are doing the minimum necessary, as we have our own goals.
Because we gotta get ours somehow
We must secure our benefits or profits in some way.
It would be too easy making ten percent off the tours we book for you
Making a modest profit (10%) from the tours we arrange for you would be too easy.
So we figure we'll take as much as we can because it's not up to you
Instead, we plan to take as much as we can, and you have no say in the matter.
The music the bands provide bring the kids to the shows
The music provided by the bands attracts audiences to the shows.
But you know we just don't care
However, we are indifferent or apathetic to the bands' concerns.
Because there are a lot of other bands we can use
We have other bands at our disposal if you decline this tour.
if you don't want this tour
Emphasizing the main idea that bands can be easily replaced.
And the point is
The crucial point is...
Even though everyone knows we treat the bands like shit
Despite our mistreatment of bands, nobody dares to protest.
Nobody has the guts to speak out
People are fearful of speaking out due to potential repercussions.
Because they're afraid that they won't get
Fearful that they might not receive future tour opportunities.
the tours at the end of the day
A direct consequence of not conforming to our practices.
You fucking kids have gotta learn the golden rules:
Addressing the audience: Learn these essential rules.
You gotta use who you can on your way to the middle
Use others to your advantage as you climb the ladder of success.
You only give a favor for a favor in return
Favors should only be granted in exchange for something in return.
You get burned when you turn the other cheek
You suffer consequences when you show goodwill without self-interest.
We don't believe you kids are so naive
We doubt that you, the younger generation, are so innocent or inexperienced.
to think that things could change
It is unrealistic to believe that things will change for the better.
Because nothing ever changes in the real world
The harsh reality is that nothing changes in the real world.
And we're gonna drive that message home
We will strongly emphasize and reinforce this message.
Because money fills the gas tank in your van
Money is the driving force, necessary for the practical aspects of touring.
