Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Idle fame with a plastic smile Controversial relations keep you on top for a while At the top of the charts, the bottom of the barrel Success depends upon the company you keep Compositions sugar-coated with messages puddle deep Emotions bought and sold and the going rate is cheap Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101 'Cause I can smile and I can dance Pull my strings and give me some cash Because I don't wanna, I don't wanna Lead a normal life and work like all the others Top 40 look out, 'cause I'm gonna be number 1 Business tycoons are writing songs in crayon Consumer reports show what needs good distribution Appeal to the masses, the best as you can Radio DJ's spreading your disease Infectious transmission from sea to shining sea Music without soul, an empty shell Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101 'Cause I can smile and I can dance Pull my strings and give me some cash Because I don't wanna, I don't wanna Lead a normal life and work like all the others Top 40 look out, 'cause I'm gonna be number 1 Radio dial, it can be heard for miles But the only thing coming through is a narrow point of view Just think one day, this could be you Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101 'Cause I can smile and I can dance Pull my strings and give me some cash Because I don't wanna, I don't wanna Lead a normal life and work like all the others Top 40 got no soul but it will when I take control Because I don't wanna, I don't wanna Lead a normal life and work like all the others I don't wanna, I don't wanna Lead a normal life and work like all the others I don't wanna, I don't wanna Lead a normal life and work like all the others I don't wanna, I don't wanna Lead a normal life and work like all the others Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101 Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101 Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101
