Matt Fishel - Radio-Friendly Pop Song lyrics

It's a pleasure to meet you my friend, come take a seat at my desk I gotta tell ya kid, the whole team is more-than-impressed Your melodies soar and all of your choruses shine The lyrics are sound and your voice is fundamentally fine But face it, if you wanne make it onto radio kid, you gotta do as I say Change all the 'him's into 'her's And just don't tell the world that you're...SHHH!! Happy to help, take my card, please think about what I've said But this is an industry where people make money, so your art has to sell And you should never seek to challenge an audience, They buy what they're told and we never get it wrong Go write us a non-offensive, tasteful, conventional song... Like this one: Girls like boys and boys like girls And that's the way it should be Forever Welcome to tinsel town kid, I'm gonna make you a star You got the fire in your gut and everything that you need to go far You're a talented guy, you could shake Hollywood to the ground And with us on your side, plus your looks, you're gonna conquer this town. But face it; if you wanna break into this business kid, you gotta play the part And you'll never play a leading man if you let on to your fans the truth about who you are Just remember that... Girls like boys and boys like girls And that's the way it has been Forever Yeah, girls like boys and boys like girls And that's the way it will be Forever On the radio, In Hollywood, On the TV shows For the greater good He said, "think about the children, think about the children" You wanted me to write a hit record for the radio Are you never gonna get it? The kids already know... Some girls like girls, some boys got a boyfriend I like guys and they like me We hold hands, make out do all the things that lovers do Girls like boys and boys like girls And that's the way it has been Forever Yeah, girls like boys and boys like girls And that's the way it will be— Whatever!
