I think I′m gonna start a band
The great depression is at hand
People will mourn across the land
Yeah, I′m gonna start a band
Or maybe I should write a book
And let the critics have a look
They′ll hail me as the new James Joyce
The audience won′t have a choice
But the popstars sing:
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 years tomorrow
And I′ll never leave you
I′m 17 and tired of life
Under my pillow is a knife
I′m sick and tired of this world
But yet I haven′t kissed a girl
I know this world is full of pain
And yeah I haven′t cried in vain
′Cause my dog died the other day
And nothing can wash my tears away
But the popstars sing:
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 years tomorrow
And I′ll never leave you
And I won′t sing that I love you
I only sing things that are true
And I won′t sing no la la la la la
Because I′m not in love with you
But the popstars sing:
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 years tomorrow
And I′ll never leave you
