Pop Song Lyrics


(Verse 1):
I started out underground,
I was kinda like a seed
I had no manager, I book my shows,
made the posters and afterwards I sold Cd's
Then I made a song making fun of all the bragging,
and it brew up in like, not long
Then I got signed to a deal, threw me out to L.A.,
put me in the studio and told me...
(Chorus 1):
We want you to write a Pop Song (2x)
And make it sound like this
Make it sound like this (7x)
And do it for the kids!
(Verse 2):
'Cause the kids want hits
They don't give a s*** about the rhymes you spit
They just want a nice beat that they

all could rhyme to, with a chorus catchier
than swine flu times two!
I know you like free mode beats,
so you compose verses like they we're a
key note speech but...
We just want you to be 3oh3!,
mixed with Flo-Rida mixed with B.o.B.
Capiche?
So make another Airplanes
or a song like Billionaire,
either's fair game
Do it or go down in flames
Back to Maine you can beg mousse
for spare change
You can't sing with auto tune it
Make it sound like someone else's music
We brought writers who could make it sound tighter
We could pull it all night baby...
(Chorus 2):
We want you to write a Pop Song (2x)
We want you to write a Pop So.....ng (2x)
And make it sound like this
Make it sound like this (7x)
And do it for the kids!
(Verse 3):
No, I wanna do it for hip hop,
you know fresh to death like a bird
in a zip lock
You're like SPOSE, you're not f******
Rick Ross
We want something more like Ke$ha, TiK Tok
I wrote a verse, and said listen to this s***
They put their hands to their foreheads as I kicked it
They're like, look, I don't think that you get it
Nobody cares about your verses,
it's not 96 kid
I told them, look man, I'd rather had my wrist lit,
than sound like every other f****** singer in the business
They're like, really SPOSE, would it be that cataclysmic
To make a couple songs for top 40 and rhytmic
With hooks big enough to catch Moby Dick with
With very few words and some melodies addictive
If you're not up to the task, grab your bags,
call a cab
It's too bad because...
(Chorus 3):
We want you to write a Pop Song (2x)
We want you to write a Pop So.....ng (2x)
(And when you do)
And make it sound like this
Make it sound like this (15x)
(Ending)
We want you to write a Pop Song (2x)
We want you to write a Pop So.....ng (2x)
And do it for the kids!

R.E.M. were an alternative rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1980. The band originally consisted of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar, mandolin), Mike Mills (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Bill Berry (drums). Berry retired from the band in October 1997 after having suffered a brain aneurysm in 1995.

R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.

By the early 1990s, when alternative rock began to experience broad mainstream success, R.E.M. was viewed as a pioneer of the genre and released its two most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), which veered from the band's established sound. R.E.M.'s 1994 release, Monster, was a return to a more rock-oriented sound. The band began its first tour in six years to support the album; the tour was marred by medical emergencies suffered by three band members. In 1996, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a reported US$80 million, at the time the most expensive recording contract in history. The following year, Bill Berry left the band, while Buck, Mills, and Stipe continued the group as a three-piece. Through some changes in musical style, the band continued its career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

On 21 September 2011, after over 30 years together, R.E.M. announced that they had split up.
