Be.Pop

In and out of fashion
Resting on the shelf
There is room for passion
I’m walking by myself
Out of step
​they tell you what to think
And how to be and how to sing
‘don't do this
And don’t do that'
But I can’t resist a flight of fancy
If you think that this is wrong
Don’t listen to this song
And let me say what I want to
Play ‘cause I want to
Be rap, be jazz, be soul, be jive
Always in and out of fashion
Resting on the shelf
There’s room for expansion
I keep walking by myself
Though out of step
​to be rock, be folk, be bop, be pop
Say what I want to
Play ‘cause I want to
Be country, be reggae, be blues, be punk, be funk, be house
Be rhumba, be salsa, be samba
​‘why don’t you stick to one style
You’ll never be played on the radio
Singles rule our times
'blah, blah …
‘give people what they want
But don’t do this
Don’t do that'
But I’m disobedient
So I’ve got to
Say what I want to
Play ‘cause I want to
Be… everything
