about

The Life & Death of Ricky Legend. – (July 26th 1981)
Their tape caught the eye of a record executive, from cheeseburger records, who wants to sign The Bad Plants to a major label. Now comes the time to choose what to do. Do they take the deal and maybe become as big as their heroes? Their songs in every record store across the country? Or do they keep doing what they’re doing, making everything themselves and going at their own pace, building in L.A.

lyrics

-[Canter’s Deli, Hollywood]-

Some losers that lived up the street, is it fate that we meet
We got this far on our own, but a real chance to grow

*Sign your name on the dotted line*

To live a life on the road, and move out of home
He’ll make a dream come true, But now we have to choose

*Sign your name on the dotted line
and leave your life and death behind*

We could tour make it real, but how much do they steal
He’ll make a dream come true, but now we have to choose

-Solo-

What kind of man would I be, Well lets see
D.I.Y. till we die, now I guess we die

*Sign your name on the dotted line
And leave your life and death behind
Come on boy and work for me
And we’ll put you down in history*

Deal…

-[Flip over cassette]-
