Well there's no such thing as a sellout
Sellout is a word for the jealous and the sad
If you use it then please get the hell out
Cause making money with my songs shouldn't make you mad
Everybody's got to make a living
Some jobs are more or less compelling
You can be taking or be giving
You can be making or buying or selling
There's no such thing as a sellout
There's no shame in making money from your art
I will climb the highest mountain and I'll yell out
I can make money and it still comes from my heart
[whistle]
Jonathan's been working like a madman
For five years in a row, with a free song every day
So I can't imagine what could be so bad, man
To let him pay is bills, and put some food upon his plate
If there is such a thing as a sellout
It's to trade your precious minutes, to do a job that you hate
So it's up to all of us to shell out
For the artists that we love, so that they don't have that fate
[guitar]
The starving artist can make a thing of beauty
So can the artist who's work is in hotels
You can be open or be snooty
I only hope that one day your cold heart melts
You who sit behind the keyboard
Click clacking away saying very mean things
Like a cross between Oscar and Eeyore
You just sit there typing, I'll continue to sing
Cause there's no such thing as a sellout
