It's a line from a Steely Dan track:
Show biz kids making movies of themselves
You know they don't give a f**k about anybody else
I was reminded of it by Chula's recent championing of Taxman, and elphenor's reply:-

The Taxman lyrics are a bit snarky, and the song was inspired by GH learning that some Beatles income was being taxed at 95 pence in the pound. They came out with 5 pence in their own pocket, so his annoyance is understandable, but ultimately I agree with elphenor; don't bleat to me about your hard life, show biz kids.
I wonder who are the biggest ingrates, who let their discontent about stardom spill over into their songs - and how sympathetic do you feel towards their complaints?
