Why Popstars Can't Dance

Is everybody having a good time---
Giving all outwards on the dancing floor?
"Shake your ass to the funky pass
(While I get rich upon your cash), and
Dream of lost teens and the Cote D'Azur"…
Write a song with meaning
And leave the lyrics out -
BREAK IT DOWN WITH CAPITAL!
Substitute invention
For that unit-shifting pout
CLICHE! (Just to cap it all)…
Is everybody having a bad time?
Can't tell the difference anymore, when
Video songs 'don't make no sense' -
An insult to the intelligence -
Their Phony Love and Authentic Bore…
Write a song with meaning
And leave the lyrics out -
BREAK IT DOWN WITH CAPITAL!
Substitute invention
For that unit-shifting pout
CLICHE! (Just to cap it all)...
I confess I wrote this mess
I admit to lyrical incest
I collaborate in tune
To the economic gloom.
We didn't mix silver
To coveting your bread and butter.
Guilty feet have got no rhy-
thm.
Is everybody having a good time?
As my seal fur drips blood onto the dancefloor!
Falling over purses, tripping over gold discs -
Out of time and pocket
As the ratings soar!
We went willing
To the ballroom floor
Where we lost our change
And yet we asked for more!
