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 my 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



You know that I love you

You know that I need you

16 years tomorrow

And I'll never leave you



You know that I love you

You know that I need you

16 years tomorrow

And I'll never leave you
