Songtext von The Hook

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
