The Comeback - Alex Cameron

You been in showbiz long enough, you get a grip on how things work

That don’t mean it ain’t a surprise when they come to take your show

I been in showbiz long enough, you need to wait your turn

Wait your turn like me

They say the kids don’t wanna see an old dog sing and dance

They say they’re done with television, and it ain’t gettin' a second chance

But they never waited for their turn, they just snatched it up from dirt

From me

They’re gonna steal my show from me, they’re gonna steal my show

When you come in here tellin' me I’m done, to pack my things, to leave and go

You’re comin' at the oldest dog in here, you need to wait your turn

Wait your turn like I did

I been syndicated throughout French Amer

They gave me my severance pay but they never gave me a goddamn

They just stole my show and gave it up to some fat fuck cryin with a song about

di-o-beet-us

Ahmed, my lawyer, he said you can’t do this

Ahmed wears a suit and tie, come on, Ahmed’s legit

He’s comin' at you like a paralegal nightmare, I got him stayin' up at the Ritz

We’re gonna get my show back

We’re gonna get my show back, come on, we’re gonna get my show

We’re gonna get my show back, come on, we’re gonna get my show

I got too much love stored in me, I got a pain you’ll never know

You’ll never get my show

But they ignored my lawyer, and they ignored my wife

And I’m sat here thinking, I hate my god damn life

I used to be the number one entertainer, now I’m bumpkin with a knife

I’ll never get my show back

So I cut some hose, from the local park

And I rigged my car up, now I’m fumin' in the dark

And I’ll tell you all somethin' bout flyin', I never have to jump the shark

Just to get my show back

We’re gonna get my show back, come on, we’re gonna get my show

Come on, we’re gonna get my show back, come on, we’re gonna get my show

I got too much love stored in me, I got a pain you’ll never know

You’ll never get my show
