If We'd All Been Living In California Lyrics

  - Ok, now you  still want to get your name in the magazines
 And he wants 500 dollars a month.
  - Where does it come from?
 We worked one gig this month.
  - And thats....so what do we get?
 Two hundred dollars for this gig up here if we're lucky.
  - If we're lucky, we'll get two hundred.
 And it will be two weeks before we get it.
 Probably.
  - I mean after all, what is all this shit in the newspaper,
 if we got such a big name, how come....., we're starving man!
 This fucking band is starving!
 
 I realize it takes a long time but God Damn it!
 Does it take another five, ten years from now.
  - There's some months when you're not going to work as much as other
 months.  There's some months when you're going to make a lot of
 money and if you average it out, you do make more than two hundred
 dollars a month.
  - Expenses are sure high to.
 If we'd all been living in California,
 it would have been different.
  - If we'd all been living in California,
 we wouldn't have worked at all.
  - Oh, that's true.
 Well, we're not working now anyway.
 We worked one gig this month Frank.
 What's wrong with getting two months in a row of this good money?
  - Or three months in a row.
  - Then we could afford to take three of four months off
 and everybody can......
 After the first month I can get just enough ahead
 but if I had two more months man,
 I'll get ahead.
 Because i'm not living very extravagantly, i'll tell you for sure.
