Idle Fame with a plastic smile
|
Controversial relations keep you on top for a while
|
At the top of the charts, the bottom of the barrel
|
|
Success depends upon the company you keep
|
Compositions sugar-coated with messages puddle deep
|
Emotions bought and sold and the going rate is cheap
|
|
Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101
|
'Cause I can smile and I can dance
|
Pull my strings and give me some cash
|
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
|
lead a normal life a work like all the others
|
Top 40 look out, 'cause I'm gonna be #1
|
|
Business tycoons writing songs in crayon
|
Consumer reports show what needs good distribution
|
Appeal to the masses the best as you can
|
|
Radio Djs spreading your disease
|
Infectious transmission from sea to shining sea
|
Music without soul, an empty shell
|
|
Radio dial can be heard for miles
|
but the only thing coming through is a narrow point of view
|
Just thing one day this could be you
|
|
Top 40 got no soul but it will when I take control
|
