Killer Cut - Charlie

So you want to be

A rock and roll star

Well, times have changed

That’s all I’ll say

You still need an electric guitar

But most of all you need

That radio, radio play

All day, all day

Play and play and play

So you think that

Your music’s an art

And every song

Has something to say

I’ll tell you now

That your learning will start

When you listen real hard

To that radio, radio play

All day, all day

Play and play and play

You gotta write one killer cut

The song is a pearl

(The song is just a pearl)

You gotta write one killer cut

To turn on the world

(Turning on the world)

So you want to be

A rock and roll star

Well, times have changed

That’s all I’ll say

You still need an electric guitar

But most of all you need

That radio, radio play

All day, all day

Play and play and play

The short road to fame

If you don’t mind the blame

Is to steal the best bits

From those top forty hits

Just keep it real short

And when the records are bought

You’re a star

All the company men

Will remind you again and again

If you get things just right

It’s success overnight

If you listen and learn

You’ll have money to burn

You’re a star
