The Hook - The Free Design

All the pretty young singers with their popular songs

Kind of short on meaning but the beat goes on

You really have to love them — but not for very long

They’d like to thank their managers

And fans, and friends and yawn…

We all fall asleep unless the chorus is the hook

Chorus is the hook, chorus is the hook

And the verse is terse and moody

But the drum machine can cook

Drum machine can cook, the drum machine can cook

He who wants to sell a million better have a mill' to spend —

Greenbacks, Euros, Swiss Francs or Yen

You could be a genius but you won’t get far

If your face is better by the doorway in a jar

You really need an earring in your navel or your lip

Music, like photography, is art that you can

Clip, clip, cut in the digital domain

The essence of the thing remains the same

We all fall asleep unless the chorus is the hook

Chorus is the hook, chorus is the hook

And the verse is terse and moody

But the drum machine can cook

Drum machine can cook, the drum machine can cook

He who wants to sell a million better have a mill' to spend —

Greenbacks, Euros, Swiss Francs or Yen.

Money makes money in this made-for-T.V.

world

Creation by committee stunts the growth of boys and girls

I miss the live musicians like Ringo Starr and Gadd:

Part of a dying race, but their samples can be had

We all fall asleep unless the chorus is the hook
