Their names in parentheses In tiny print Nobody wants to Give them a cent The singers get love The bands get laid The poor songwriters Never get paid
No One Cares About Songwriters Faceless and unknown They're anonymous Living in shadows No One Cares About Songwriters Unless it's Dylan Or Paul McCartney Who've made a killing
They seldom get credit And when they do It's never enough Never their due This way of things Is so wrong Cos we all know It starts with song
Elvis got the girls Though he didn't write The brains are called nerds It just ain't right
No One Cares About Songwriters Faceless and unknown They're anonymous Living in shadows No One Cares About Songwriters Unless it's Dylan Or Paul McCartney Who've made a killing

People don't realize that songs are written. For that matter, they don't really realize that songs are arranged, recorded, produced, played, and sung. They just hear the finished product. Only other songwriters realize that the song had to be written
Hey when you drink a beer, do you care who brewed it? Do you care, who rolled the paper on to your toilet paper? You just buy it and use it.
Same thing

Before Dylan, the singer and songwriter were rather seldom one and the same. And yet there were many songwriters who seldom also performed who nevertheless made a big name for themselves as writers, such as Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and Johnny Mercer. And many others of the modern era, most notably Dylan, Kristofferson and John Denver, made a name for themselves as songwriters before doing so as performers. Carole King is also in this category.
