Lyrics

First I'm gonna sing a couple of notes on one chord,
Then I'm gonna sing the same exact notes on this chord,
Then I'll sing them on another chord and then resolve.
Then I'm gonna sing along with a harmony part
To make it seem more complicated than it was at the start,
But if you've ever studied music than you know that's not the case at all.

This part's the pre-chorus!
It's not a verse, yet not a chorus. It's the part that comes before the chorus.
It adds a sense of drama to a mediocre over-produced piece of garbage!

'Cause there's a billion other freaking songs that sound like this!
And it just keeps droning on and on and on and on...
Dave Matthews! (Octave jumps.) On AND on AND on AND on... (Etc.)

The beat is metronomic and irritating,
And the person who is singing is barely singing,
But the people who are listening are singing right along.
All the lyrics are pertaining to love or heartbreak,
While the rhythms sound robotic and corny and fake,
And the music video shows a girl dancing in a thong.

Get me some aspirin! I'm gonna lose my head!
And then I'll have no purpose for the pillow on my bed!

Lack of originality is a thing that we suffer from.
So sing along and join the throng if you are blind, tone deaf or dumb.
(Guitar solo.)

This part's the bridge. It's a different section of the song.
It has different chords...that lead back to the first part!

I'm gyrating in my pelvic region.
I'm gyrating in my pelvic region.
(Elvis-like repeat.) I'm gyrating in my pelvic regi-o-o-on.
These chord progressions
Really make me want to kill the bassist at recording sessions.
I'll give you just a few examples.

(Lyrics in parenthesis are sung simultaneously by other vocalists.)

It's too late to apologize! It's too late!
(Me plus you! Let me tell you one time!)
Can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my poker face!
(Under my umbrella, ella, ella, a, a, a...)
When I come around!
(Everybody, everybody wants to love, everybody wants to be love, love...)
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner.
(Marry me, Juliet, I don't wanna be alone...It cannot wait, I'm yours!)
Do you have the time to listen to me whine? (One...twenty-one guns! Blah blah blah...)
About nothing and everything all at once! (Blah blah blah blah...)
Say what you need to say... Say what you need to say.
(All the single ladies, all the single ladies...)
When you find you, come back to me! (...And it was all yellow!)

This is the part of the song where I use my emo whi-ee-i-ee-ine!
That's when the females start to squeal at live performances.
This is the part of the song where I sing a note that's kind of HIGH...for me!
I'm gonna go grab a beer, and sit over here, and act like I'm queer,
And carry a spear, and cause lots of fear, and make a
Boatload of money writing really idiotic rhymes!

(TELEPHONE VOICE (on track): And now I'm talking through a telephone.)

This is the part of the song where I make you clap the beat.
And then we'll quite abruptly stop. (Silence.)
But then I'll fake you out and sing some more! (Music back in. Key change.)
This is the part of the song where we modulate the key!
It's written slightly high for me! Lack of originality!
For a mediocre over produced piece of garbage...
