Sing the f**ing songs you told the world to sing
Sing it right unless you want to fail
Listen back and punch the sh** 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** this up you f** the record deal
And respect of all our 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** this up and then just f** our whole damn lives
So write some songs 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 some songs 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 to make a star
Cut the corners, get the biggest tours
Traffic violations mean bad credit now
Twenty triple zeroes in the hole
And it wouldn't be so bad
If we crashed the f**ing van and watched our f**ing 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 one song without a hook
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place
Not to 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**ing 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**ing focus group
So write a song without a hook
Remember why you wrote songs in the first place
Not to impress
The band you opened up for yesterday
