Jack Stafford - Something That Sounds Like a Song
текст песни

Radio plays
No. 1 hit
But is there really
Anything to it

Melody flows
On repeat
Underneath
Generic beat

Soaring up
Crashing down
Missing meaning
It's only sound

Don't listen hard, and don't listen long?
To something that sounds like a song

The production
Is delicious
Only a little
Repetitious

Is the rift
Stuck in your head
Is it important
What was that he said?

People listen all day long
To something that sounds like a song

Pause for a moment
To take it apart
Peel back the pieces
Is there a heart?

A chorus to praise
Wisdom in verse?
Will it change things
For better or worse?

Fighting injustice, righting a wrong?
Or just something that sounds like a song?

Make a video
Cover your traces
Distract with images
Lots of pretty faces

Don't listen hard, and Don't listen long
To something that sounds like a song
Something that sounds like a song
Something that sounds like a song
