Sing the f*cking songs you taught the world to sing.
Sing it right unless you want to fail.
Listen back and punch the shit that we don't like.
You can't do it right in just one take.
Because you aren't good enough.
You were never good enough to sing your own songs oh so perfect.
If you f*ck this up, you f*ck the record deal
and respect of all your famous friends.
Drift too far and it is inaccessible.
Do it right, we worked as hard as you.
And we didn't come this far
for you to f*ck this up and, in turn, f*ck our whole damn lives.
So write a song with lots of hooks.
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place.
Let's start a band.
This is all that you can do.
So write a song with lots of hooks.
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place.
Let's start a band.
This is all that you can do.
So cut the cookie, five sharp points will make a star.
Cut the corners, get the biggest tours.
Traffic violations mean bad credit now.
Twenty triple zeros in the hole.
And it wouldn't be so bad
if we crashed the f*cking van and watched our f*cking debt go up in flames.
You know, it wouldn't be so bad
if we just threw up our hands instead of feeding something.
I did not want to create.
Your underground is a mistake.
So write a song without a hook.
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place.
Let's start a band.
We've got nothing else to do.
Let's write a song without a hook.
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place.
Not for a man who runs a f*cking focus group.
So write a song without a hook.
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place.
Not for a man who runs a f*cking focus group.
So write a song without a hook.
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place.
Not for the band you opened up for yesterday.
