This is a song about good times;
It's a song about pain.
This is a song about love,
How it can drive you insane.
This is a song about life
When the going gets tough.
This is a song about people.
This is a song about stuff.

Won't you be my target audience?
Won't you listen to this song?
You know I wrote it just for you.
Won't you sing along.

This is a song about you
And how you're discontent.
This is a song about my angst about
Disillusionment.
This is a song about friendship;
It's a song about sex.
This is a song about relationships.
This is a song about sex.

Won't you give us publicity?
You can take anything.
We'll even let you have the drummer's soul.
You know we've waited
All our lives
To get touched with your ten-foot pole. So...

We can reach our target audience.
And have them listen to this song.
You know we wrote it just for you.
Now everybody sing along...

[really amazing guitar solo]

This is a song about nothing,
Like, uh, deep in your soul.
This is a song about reality
As a great big whole.
This is a song about peace.
This is a song about war.
This song is a composite
Of the songs we wrote before.

When I sing this song the thousandth time
The music's there, the words still rhyme.
I hope you know exactly how I feel.
If it's too boring we'll remix it.
If there's a problem we can fix it.
Anything to keep it sounding real. So...

We can please our target audience.
So they'll still listen to this song.
You know we wrote it just for you.
Won't you sing along?

This is a song about money;
It's about a career.
This is a song about giving you
What you want to hear.
This is a song that takes up space
On our CD.
Is this a song from the heart?
Well, don't ask me.

[repeat chorus and fade]
