NDA Blues

by Motif “Bluesman” Thomas

Following his breakout success “Herbert The Homicidal Turkey” last year, we’ve recently uncovered this early gem from Motif’s 92 year career in his basement. His struggles with “The Man” are evident in both songs, but you can really hear the genesis of the idea in this older classic.

We hope you enjoy “NDA Blues” by Motif “Bluesman” Thomas:

definition: NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
A legally binding contract that ensures a performer will keep their mouth shut about sensitive project details until said project has been released to the general public.

NDA Blues
by Motif “Bluesman” Thomas

I’m a voice over actor
Here in Hollywood
I got me some news
And you know it’s good
Well I’d love to tell you
Shout it out to the land
I just can’t say nothin’
Got an order from the man!

Now I’m a tellin’ you
I can’t win and I can’t lose
The contracts they’re a-bindin’
Got those NDA blues

Oh, I got me some gigs
And you know they sweet
Two video games
Cartoon can’t be beat
They gave me some papers
Said “Son you better sign!”
Nondisclosure agreements
Are chewin’ my behind!

Now I’m a tellin’ you
I can’t win and I can’t lose
The contracts they’re a-bindin’
Got those NDA blues

So I sit doin’ time
Waitin’ for my release
I’m checkin’ my email
Eatin’ government cheese
The day is a comin’
When you’ll know what I mean
I try to be patient
But my resume’s lookin’ lean!

Now I’m a tellin’ you
I can’t win and I can’t lose
The contracts they’re a-bindin’
Got those NDA blues

Oh yeah… I got the blues!
