Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Lyrics

"Joe" lyrics


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 ya' have ‘em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey, now that’s what I call music

Yeah they’ll come looking for money when the public gets bored
I will 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 ya' 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’s that alkie 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 makes the big wheels roll.
