Big Star

Big Star was an American rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1971 by Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Jody Stephens and Andy Hummel. The group broke up in 1974, but reorganized with a new line-up nearly 20 years later. In its first era, the band's musical style drew on the work of British Invasion groups including The Beatles and The Kinks, as well as The Byrds, The Beach Boys, and other US acts.

Try to understand what I'm going through
And don't blame me for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a good time
But you're going to get used to and you'd better resign yourself

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lotta nerve

You just do what pleases you
And go on and try out every move
You're going to get place in the scene
All god's orphans get face in the dream, now

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lotta nerve

Too bad, such a drag, ow
So much pain down the drain
And a lot of us ain't got many friends

Try to understand what I'm going through
And don't blame for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a good time
But you're going to get used to and you'd better resign yourself

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lotta nerve

You get what you deserve
