Don't Be Denied

I know you've heard that story told
And dream of being stars
Don't be denied, don't be denied
And drove out to Winnipeg
The punches came fast and hard
Down in Hollywood we played so good
They came to hear the golden sound

Don't be denied, don't be denied
Well, all that glitters isn't gold
When I learned the golden rule
The businessmen crowded around
Playing our songs for the highest bid
A millionaire through a business man's eyes

Lying on my back in the school yard
Don't be denied, don't be denied

Don't be denied, don't be denied

I think he's gone to stay"
And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise
We used to sit on the steps at school
We played all night the price was right
Don't be denied, don't be denied
But to stay just wouldn't be right

Oh, Canada we played all night
Well pretty soon I met a friend, he played guitar
I really hate to leave you now
Don't be denied, don't be denied
We started a band, we played all night
We packed up all our bags
There we were on the Sunset Strip
When we got to Winnipeg I checked in to school
I wore white bucks on my feet
Don't be denied, don't be denied

Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
