SONG LYRICS
Words & Music by Matt Kaminsky
We could’ve been stars. Been driven ’round in chauffeured cars. But we thought we’d be original. Stood our ground on principle. Now we’re old and pitiful and we want money. So let’s sell out. Take our music down a different route. Yeah, suddenly it’s very clear. We don’t need to be sincere. Teenagers are bound to cheer if we learn dance moves. It all makes sense. If we want to make it big, all we need is youth and British accents
We just need to learn the same four chords used in every tune of the top ten records. Write some words about our first kisses. That determines hits or misses. We no longer have to face rejection if we take our cues from One Direction. That is all we need to do. Yes, we can write a shitty pop song, too.
5 guys, 1 band. Guess it took awhile to understand that we shouldn’t play our instruments. What a bunch of innocents. Should’ve done due diligence on Justin Bieber. Wish that we knew all the things we were supposed to do. Like launching our own clothing lines. Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, Vines. All the bullshit redefines what really matters. It was uncharted. Now we’re standing on our own. Where was Simon Cowell when we first started?
We just need to learn the same four chords used in every tune of the top ten records. Leak a sex tape, Launch a fragrance. That’s all it takes to be famous. If we’re to be played by Ryan Seacrest, he’s the only one we need to impress. That is all we need to do and we can write a shitty pop song…
Too many years were wasted dwelling on the past. If only we’d been cast as the stars of Disney Channel shows.Now we can almost taste it. We have seen the light. Cookie-cutter song construction leads to Hall of Fame induction.
We just need to learn the same four chords used in every tune of the top ten records. Write some words about our first kisses. That determines hits or misses. We no longer have to face rejection if we take our cues from One Direction. That is all we need to do. Yes, we can write a shitty pop song, too. Yes, we can write a shitty pop song, too. We can write a shitty pop song. It’s a pity we took so long. We can write a shitty pop song, too!
