Van Morrison - Professional Jealousy Lyrics
Professional jealousy, can bring down a nation
And personal invasion, can ruin a man
Not even his family, will understand what's happening
The price that he's paying, or even the pain
And then it extended, to be more abuse
What started out as just, black propaganda
Was one day seen to be, believed as truth
They say the truth is, stranger than fiction
But a lie is more, deadly than sin
It can make a man very, bitter and angry
When he thinks that there's someone, is going to win
Professional jealousy makes other people crazy
What they don't understand is it's, just not easy
To cover it all, and, stand where you stand
Professional jealousy, makes no exception
It can happen to anyone, at any time
The only requirement is, knowing what's needed
And then delivering, what's needed on time
The only requirement is to, know what is needed
In doing the best you know how, deliver on time
The only requirement is, to know what is needed
Be best at delivering the, product on time.

great kind of Music

Amazing song. Only Van could have written these lyrics.
So this song is about a man, an artist accused wrongly.
He was singing about a brown-eyed girl when I was still a child. He has paid his dues as this song alludes to and is in a class all his own.
Grew up on classic stuff like this. <3
to the person who posted this, thank you, and god bless you. really. please never take it off.
Another great Van song! Oinkle-grunt!
roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOT!! GruntTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT pig. is. cute.
Driving Blue Ridge Parkway listening to this... =Hog Heaven.
One of my favorite van songs. Who else cold write a lyric like this?
He is also a very spiritual man as well! :)
never heard this one before. I'm such a big fan. have a bunch of his cd's. Glad to hear different songs so I can get more. Thanks Van for all your music.
Thanks for posting this tune. This entire album is exceptional!!
Hahahaha what are you snorting ?

@Susan Davidson Okay then!
Your're obviously younger than me; no I'm not ancient, however, my father, whom I love and miss so very much (he's been gone, god,, 18 or so years ago) was more of the Lawrence Welk era, but you've got good taste, my friend.
Is it me or does the flute synthesizer really set the tone of the song?
Now this is a really cool Van Morrison song; you have to be a true Van Morrison fan to appreciate this tune, in addition to the obvious lesson. Thanks for the excellent post; straight to favorites!
Shane MacGowan is a mere shadow in the steps of Van Morrison. Van Morrison is a legendary song writer, pay attention to the lyrics, so true.
They can both be legends, as they are both sons of Ireland
@PinkFloyd1212 Did exactly the same thing with my daughter :)
@PinkFloyd1212 SO true same here
