Jamboree
by John Reuben

Album: Sex, Drugs and Self Control

one for the treble adjust the levels
the bass got swallowed by an 808
ringtones for nickels and dimes
we don't hear music jukebox needs change
scratch your temple the kids are listenin'
think-tank says short attention spans
people are people more than business is business
found a new marketing plan

(chorus)
who rocks the show 'til its good to go
put some money in the bank and tell the crowd thanks
come on jamboree, nickel and dime music machine
even if it's a tough pill to swallow, entertainers, role models
cowbells, tambourines, somebody's listening

come on everybody good times get ready
decorate the room... confetti.
we celebrate not to escape
both feet on the stage ready to engage
point to the sky like you know where to aim
wish it was as easy to keep the faith
willing to say God'll make way
but its a dangerous place to get paid to motivate

(chorus)
who rocks the show 'til its good to go
put some money in the bank and tell the crowd thanks
come on jamboree, nickel and dime music machine
even if it's a tough pill to swallow, entertainers, role models
cowbells, tambourines, somebody's listening

isolated booth soundproofed with a mattress
soundman turn me up are we tracking
in good conscience if its alright
step out the booth and find a spotlight
couldn't afford a ticket so i stole the show
cool, can i kick it like a pair of steel toes
change my shoes once i'm through the door
like Mr. Rogers to be more comfortable
working hard on a real good time
if you don't mind come on clap your hands
I wanna party without saying party
control the crowd without making demands

(chorus)
who rocks the show 'til its good to go
put some money in the bank and tell the crowd thanks
come on jamboree, nickel and dime music machine
even if it's a tough pill to swallow, entertainers, role models
cowbells, tambourines, somebody's listening
