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
