Title: You'll Never Work in Dis Bidness Again: A Krycek Filk of sorts

Note: I dedicate this piece to my hometown of Gainesville, Florida, where good radio goes to die. Without the vast wasteland that is the airwaves of North Florida I would never have been forced to listen to "Feeding Frenzy" so damn many times. I swear, folks, this hurts me more than it hurts you.


Spoken: "They told him to shoot Scully and he didn't talk back,
Then they set him up with PowerPoint and Alex up and cracked..."

They told me before I started
That it never ever would work out
Stay in school, don't be a fool
But I had to see what life was about

So I went to DC seeking fortune and fame
I got oiled, I got bombed, I got called dirty names
You'll never, never work in dis bidness again
You'll never, no never
Never work in dis bidness again

I knew I needed representation
And I found it one night in a bar
He was a smoker and a pulp-fiction writer
And he said that he would make me a star

He said, "Alex, you look mighty good
In leather, even dripping blood,
Now go plam some alien brains!"
Or you'll never, never work in dis bidness again
You'll never, no never
Never work in dis bidness again

(instrumental)

I chauffered for the smoker
I sold secrets from Mars
I lost my arm in Tunguska
I got beat up on cars

I even kissed that skank ho Marita!
(Alex kissed that skank ho Marita!)

The Rebels are coming! (that does it)
Hell, I don't care
Even kissing Mulder's not worth this pain!
I will never, never work in this business again
No I'll never, no never
Never work in this business again.

End
