Bill Hicks - Exposure [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(chorus) Eee Ex Posure, eeee ex posure, don't it sound so fine
Eee Ex Posure, like a real fine wine
Mmmmmmmm, don't it slide on down
Right on down to the ground
Don't it sound eeeee exxxx actly like money.....
Honey?

When you're gettin' out you're gonna hear the word
& it'll drive you nuts and it'll seem absurd
But it's just the facts, just the way it is:
If it's sho-nuff real then it's both show-biz
How they'll say to you with a big slow grin
And your hand in theirs, and a fountain pen
And when they use a big nomenclature like "closure,"
Well, baby, that's just another patois for...

(chorus)
See I was talking jack to this dude in red
He has this club that the paper said
Was the only place that you had to play
And if you got that gig it would be all ok
And he knows, you know, what is in your head
And he's got your (umm) "things" 'tween a rock and a stone
So when the dough looks mighty thin, no meat on the bone
Why he's stuffin' your pockets with...

(chorus)
I got done with the gig, it was four AM
I was packin' up when the girl walked in
Rollin' my wires and shuttin' my case
Not really expectin' some brand new face--
In fact I was hopin' for the guy in blue
Who'd been back in the office for an hour or two
Countin' his take 's'what I was figgurin,'
And here comes this honey with a fifth of gin:
Singin' her song, and it sound like...

(chorus)
You know the rest, less you're seventeen
I was back on the street with a lack of green
And I couldn't find my fingerpicks
And my car was towed, and there was this dude
Dress up in black, with a jones in his pocket
For the money I owed
So I just skedaddled on out of there
And perused my reviews from my easy chair
And if you want to get rich in the music game
Just plant yourself out front of the axe
And don't go round back for love or ambrosia
Just tell 'em to do it all for.......

(Alt. chorus) Eee Ex Posure, eeee ex posure, don't she look so fine
Eee Ex Posure, for a real good time
Mmmmmmmm, don't it slide on down
Right on down to the ground
Don't it sound eeeee exxxx actly like money.....
Honey?
