“Pop Song” is the follow up single to Theo Katzman’s debut record Romance Without Finance. The track is driven by a catchy and tasteful melody accented by a creative blend of a traditional live band sounding production with samples and synths.
The song is about a music artist desperately searching...
[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the ceiling
Searching for some word that rhymes with how I'm feeling
[Pre Chorus]
Someone feed the fishes
Someone clean my car
I can't keep up on the dishes
While I wish upon a star
Someone save my soul
I'm a slave to rock and roll
[Chorus]
Please, politicians, preachers, pray
Give us wisdom, teach us right from wrong
Oh yeah
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song
[Verse 2]
I've been chipping at this sculpture
Hoping his gigantic hands will heal pop culture
[Pre Chorus]
Someone raise the wages
Someone fight the fight
I've been speaking with the sages
In the middle of the night
Someone save my soul
I sold it to Billy Joel
In the middle of the...
[Chorus]
Please, politicians, preachers, pray
Give us wisdom, teach us right from wrong
Oh yeah
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song
Please, Mother Nature's on her knees
Read the paper, see what's going on
What's going on
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song

This was initially titled “Love Song,” and the hook was “I’m too busy tryin' to write a love song.” Tyler suggested changing it to “Pop Song,” which unlocked the rest of the song. Yes, I gave him a percentage of the publishing for that :)
