about

Semi-unplugged studio live recording!

The words are taken from a traditional song and have been adapted by Betty; the lyrics reflect the problems that many artists (especially the independent and underground ones) are facing in the Austrian music scene at the moment.
Mister" stands for "Minister" (Minister of Education and the Arts).

lyrics

I don't want your millions, Mister
I don't want your diamond ring
All I want is the right to play with the band, Mister
Give me back my music clubs again

I don't want your millions, Mister
All I want is the right to play
Now, I don't want your Rolls-Royce, Mister
I don't want your pleasure yacht
No-no-no all I want's just a stage for the band
Give to me my old clubs back
I don't want your millions, Mister
All I want is the right to play

We work to build this country, Mister
While you enjoy a life of ease
You've stolen all that we built, Mister
Now our bands starve and freeze

Think me dumb if you wish, Mister
Call me green, or blue, or red
But this one thing I sure know, Mister
The hungry artists must be fed

Take the two old parties, Mister
No difference in them I can see
But with a Music Party
We could set the people free
I don't want your millions, Mister
I don't want your diamond ring
All I want is the right to play with the band
Give me back my music clubs again
Mister!
