lyrics

Fuck your politics, fuck your philosophy
Keep your catchy tunes and fuck all the rest,
The simplest songs sell the best

I wanted to write songs, yeah, that I could believe in
Naïve little me
I wanted to write songs people would find interesting
I wrote about!

Science and music
The sings of religion
Inequality

The world we all live in
I even wrote about the desperate highs of love
But they said!

Fuck your politics, fuck your philosophy
Fuck all the things in the world right now
Just write songs to get girls into bed
Fuck you politics, fuck your sociology
Keep your catchy tunes and fuck all the rest,
The simplest songs sell the best

I wanted to write songs that might make people think
What was I thinking? You can’t make people think!
Just be a drum’n’bass DJ and watch them drink
It pays much better than songs about

Hipsters and posers
The hypocrisy of fashion
The media’s lies
Cultural imperialism
I wrote about a world map that’s blue white and red
But they said!

Fuck your politics, fuck your philosophy
Fuck all the things in the world right now
Just write songs to get girls into bed
Fuck you politics, fuck your sociology
Keep your catchy tunes and fuck all the rest,
The simplest songs sell the best

I get bitter, I get angry, but
I gotta show the world I’m still hungry
And I will sing about whatever I damn well want
And I won’t care when they say!

Fuck your politics, fuck your philosophy
Fuck all the things in the world right now
Just write songs to get girls into bed
Fuck you politics, fuck your sociology
Keep your catchy tunes and fuck all the rest,
The simplest songs, ever-simpler songs
Shitty, stupid, plastic songs sell the best
