Sellout - NPR Tiny Desk Version

by Kate Nyx

/

about

For five years, I've though about entering the NPR Tiny Desk Contest, a competition built by NPR to help showcase unsigned musical talent. The rules are pretty simple; be unsigned, sing us an original song, make the video specifically for us. If you'd like to learn more about the contest specifically, head over to tinydeskcontest.npr.org

A couple weeks ago, I finally bit the bullet and submit a video.
This is the recording of that performance.

To watch my entry, go here: tinydeskcontest.npr.org/2022/browse-2022/?id=3986810

Thank you for supporting me in this

lyrics

god I wish that I could sell out
fully endorsed; I'm off my high horse
I just want to make some money
why can't somebody see
I'd be the perfect face
for their brand of deception
no hidden intentions
I'm tired of being poor
baby I'm off my high horse

god I wish that I could sell out
all expenses paid for a simple serenade
I just wanna live happy
somebody slap me
with a contract and a car
a million dollar deal
or at least a few meals
I'm tired of being poor
baby I'm off my high horse

god I wish that I could sell out
a radio spot or two; it's all I'd have to do to
pay the doctor what I owe
and my rent and my phone
just enough to live
I might not be perfect
but I think I deserve this
I'm tired of being poor
baby I'm off my high horse

I can't find my horse

I'm ogg my high horse
