The Alan Parsons Project

Vulture Culture

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

Somehow you made it in the big wide world

And you're absolutely home and dry

You got away from a one horse town

And the only way out was to fly


You heard a lot about an easy street

And it seems like the place to be

You heard some talk about a slippery slope

But you think "it can't happen to me"


Vulture culture

Use it or you lose it

Vulture culture

Choose it or refuse it

Hollywood is calling won't you join the dance

Moving onto Wall Street why not take a chance

It's a vulture culture

Never lend a loser a hand

Just a vulture culture

Living off the fat of the land


Nowhere to turn around and catch your breath

It's all relatively trouble free

No need to bother with the bottom line

Or a money back guarantee


You sign a deal that's been etched in stone

It's absolutely cut and dry

That's when they got you in the danger zone

And the only way out is to die


Vulture culture

Use it or you lose it

Vulture culture

Choose it or refuse it

Hollywood is waiting striking up the band

Everyone on Wall Street shakes you by the hand

Such a vulture culture

Never lend a loser a hand


Just a vulture culture

Living off the fat of the land


Use it or you lose it

Choose it or refuse it

Hollywood's a no go not a second chance

Nobody on Wall Street gives a second glance

It's a vulture culture

Moving to the beat of the band

It's a vulture culture

Never lend a loser a hand

It's just a vulture culture

Living off the fat of the land
