Pop song

pop song

Lyrics

everyone gets a pop song
it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from
you'll wake up to it one day
your life will get radio play
all it takes is roughly three chords and some changes

so here's your pop song oh oh oh
it's got some electronic drums oh oh oh
it should have tamborine oh oh oh
but it's a work in progress if you know what i mean

it doesn't have to be original
it's so indie no one's checking up on it
i could rip off the beatles
or the kinks, who would know?
you'll bob your head but you won't dance, no matter what, you fucking hipster

so here's your pop song oh oh oh
it really loves you oh oh oh
it took all night to write oh oh oh
three minutes to play
maybe a little less oh oh oh

here's your pop song oh oh oh
it won't last long oh oh oh
one thousand new bands every day
one thousand new songs to play

pop music is the best
every song just like the last
but it moves you nonetheless
you feel it move inside your chest
the western world revolves
when the chord resolves

and there should be a solo
because loneliness is the building block of pop

so here's your pop song oh oh oh
take it home and treat it nice oh oh oh
the same progression all over again oh oh oh
but that's life
