We smell

What will sell

And we can tell

That this song is gonna pay off well

We steal

A melody

Take some clichés

The easy way to make it sound OK

Next

Write a text

Not too complex

Skip the message and stick to B.S

Making a hit can be easy

Just put together the standard pieces

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

And were repeating it again, again and again

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

And were repeating it again, again and again

Fake it

’Til you make it

If you wanna break

And be a one hit wonder - shake 'n' bake

Success

Won't come unless

You get undressed

Have public sex and then go tell the press

Reveal

Your privacy

Cry on TV

Do anything anyone wanna see

Getting a hit can be easy

As long as you're loud and cheap and sleazy

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

And were repeating it again, again and again

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

And were repeating it again, again and again

Then

Near the end

We raise the key

From A to B

What a melody

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

And were repeating it again, again and again

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

And were repeating it again, again and again

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

With no brain, no brain, no brain, no brain

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain

With no brain, no brain, no brain, no brain

Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain
