Commercial Suicide (lyrics and music: Tim Hunter)

I don’t do this all the time no it’s only a sideline,
Dreams don’t pay the bills the day job’s my lifeline

I don’t believe in commercial suicide, I’ve tried but it’s commercial suicide
No I won’t commit commercial suicide

I need to have a hit and I need it really soon, I need to make a profit won’t you please download a tune. I’ll sign off the day job if I can afford it , but until that day I’ll not
commit commercial suicide

I don’t believe in commercial suicide
I’ve tried but its commercial suicide
No I won’t commit commercial suicide
