Pop Song 2012

[Verse 1]
Entropy, you said to me
There's only so much energy
There's only so many melodies
Sophistry, you said to me
There's only so many good words
There's only so many turns of phrase

[Chorus]
Strange words and whispers darkly
Honest hooks in heart strings
Pop song on the radio
It's a long time since you've been back again
Virtue in mass parade
Tin waves and high compression
Pop song on the radio
It's a damn good sign of the times

[Verse 2]
Evolution, you said to me
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever really stays the same
Chemistry, you called to me
It always changes over time
It always reacts to exposure

[Chorus]
Strange words and whispers darkly
Honest hooks in heart strings
Pop song on the radio
It's a long time since you've been back again
Virtue in mass parade
Tin waves and high compression
Pop song on the radio
It's a damn good sign of the times

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Aging is a fact, you say
They always overstay their welcome
They always turn irrelevant
Perpetual spring, you say to me
Another myth of the give, you see
Another poet's dream deferred

[Chorus]
Strange words and whispers darkly
Honest hooks in heart strings
Pop song on the radio
It's a long time since you've been back again
Virtue in mass parade
Tin waves and high compression
Pop song on the radio
It's a damn good sign of the times
