"Pop Song" by Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
D G
Sometimes i wish that i could write a pop song
D G
Too bad i never learned to play
D G
The song that the whole world could sing along
Bm A G
And i could be kingship for just one day
D G
But every time i try to write a pop song
D G
Somebody in it always ends up crying
D G
Somebody always ends up brokenhearted
Bm A G
And by the end of the song somebody is always dying
C G
It's hard to write a pop song when you're going down the drain
C G
Hard to write a pop song when you're feeling so much pain
C G
Hard to write a pop song when your true love says goodbye
C A
It's hard to write a pop song
D G
It's hard to write a lie
D G
Sometimes i wish that i could write a pop song
D G
Catchy tune that's got nothing to say
D G
A stupid simple dime a dozen pop songs
Bm A G
Just one good hook and id be on my way
D G
Sometimes i wish that i could write that pop song
D G
Then all the girls would fall in love with me
D G
But nobody really wants to hear a pop song
Bm A G
Full of chainsaws broken hearts and misery
C G
It's hard to write a pop song when you're going down the drain
C G
Hard to write a pop song when you're feeling so much pain
C G
Hard to write a pop song when your true love says goodbye
C A
It's hard to write a pop song
D G
It's hard to write a lie
C G
It's hard to write a pop song when you've lost all that you had
C G
It's hard bein' happy when you are feeling so damn bad
C G
it's hard to write a pop song when your heart's been thrown away
C A
Another fuckin' pop song
D G
Who needs it anyway
C A
Just another fuckin' pop song
D G
who needs it anyway
C A
i could write a million pop songs
D G
but it wouldnt make her stay
