A Popsong - Wreckless Eric

My record company phoned me today

They said we’re running out of product

We need something to play

Just a two minute song

A snazzy middle eight

Get some AM FM action in the Untied States

Now the agency that handles all my affairs

Said we’re running out of time

We ain’t got any time to spare

Better write a pop record

With a modern spin and hook

If the muse don’t hit you you’re off our books

We want a pop song

Write a pop song

We need a pop song

Oh nod

Hell’s bells

Buckets of blood

You got me reaching for my tranquilizers

Too late to start

It’s much too soon to stop

Why don’t you book another act

To play a 20 minute

Spot

I don’t know why everybody is making all this fuss

Why don’t you switch the television on

I think I’ve had enough

Back on our TV the advertising damn dropped me

Here comes the music to sell the stock

It’s just a pop song

Another pop song

Well it’s a pop song

Oh no

It’s just a pop song to fixate your mind

It’s a pop song

It’s just a pop song you hear every day

A pop song
