"A Poem" lyrics

AJJ Lyrics

"A Poem"

A poem is a song that no one cares about
Except the writers of the songs that we're all singing
And songs are just commercials for awful, ugly people
Who want your money, your attention, and all of your love

If you don't give it to them they'll starve
If you don't give it to them they'll starve to death
If you don't give it to them they'll starve to death and that's alright

A poem is a song that no one cares about
Except the writers of the songs that we're all singing
And songs are just commercials for self-important assholes
Who want the power and the money and the other good stuff you're bringing

If you don't give it to them they'll starve
If you don't give it to them they'll starve to death
If you don't give it to them they'll starve to death and that's alright

They'll starve to death and that's alright
They'll starve to death and that's alright
