I wanna write a pop song
For half the world to love
Wanna write a pop song
The other half can loathe
Wanna write a pop song
That lifts an easy load
A pop song
A pop song
That takes a simple road
No one cares for pop songs
The way they used to
When the words and music shook the earth
Out from under you
Wanna write one like a fast machine
That rolls out over the air
Runs over all that came before it
Feels like it was always there
Wanna write a pop song
Like the ones that came before
A pop song
A pop song
Like no one’s heard before
Wanna write a pop song
Don’t care if it doesn’t sell
A pop song
A pop song
From one hit wonder hell
A pop song like a small machine
That floats across your ears
Sticks there till the next one comes
Then disappears for years
Although no one cares for pop songs
The way they used to
Words and music that shook the earth
Out from under you
Maybe that’s just me
Maybe I’m just old and tired
Maybe some still feel this way
Maybe some still get inspired
By a pop song
