Big John Shaft

I'll make another movie

The same one as the year before

I'll take a tired idea

And put it in the hands of HollywoodI need to talk to someone

I've been living someone else's life

I don't get no mail at my house anymore

My manager's my brideI'm leaving on a jet plane

I'll see my baby soon enough

I won't take her to the movie

I'm worried that the lines become all blurredI couldn't help but feeling something

When the boss told us to act this way

I'm ashamed of my profession

I would do the same againI'll make another movie

Same one as the year before

I'm looking for a story

Something ludicrous to rise up from the streetI won't play another heavyweight

I won't play another big John Shaft

Put me in a frock and leave me to recite

Maybe my career will die
