Story Behind the Song
Any band struggling for recognition will identify with this song.
Lyrics
It’s the same story, no matter who you are
Selling used cars, or a rock star
Wanna be the ceo, well it’s who ya know
Or just the Prom queen, It’s where you’re seen, know what I mean
Ya wanna be a big shot, or the head cheese
Better get ready to get down on your knees
If yawanna find out what you’re missing
Better get ready to…do some ass kissing!
REFRAIN:
Everybody knows it's not what you know it's who you know
No matter what you do, If you ask, they'll tell ya where to go
Everywhere ya go, it's not what you know but who you know
No matter what you know, it's not what you know…
Oh but you’re different, you’re gonna break the mold
Not gonna listen, never mind what you’ve been told
Don’t look now there’s a fly landing in your ointment
Better get ready for a fundamental disappointment
You’ve got ambition, and personality
You’ve got talent and individuality
And you’re good looking, you think you’ve got it all
Add ‘em up, you couldn’t buy yourself a phone call
(REFRAIN)
I had a dream
I’ve never seen
I had a dream
I’ve never been
Refrain
