Intro - Long, Long Time
[Spoken]
After, you know, all these months and months of touring and playing and performing
Nobody got paid
I didn't get paid, I couldn't pay the band

Everything but my first-born child, I think
Just signed it all away
And that's kinda par for the course of the music business back in those days
