Earworm

I hear the sound of the music in my head
A hundred songs from the things that people said
They're never finished and it's driving me m-mad

We're oh-so-perfect and we play on the beat-beat-beat-beat-beat
Top 40 Billboard hit like you've ever seen
We look so pretty on the front of tiger beat
Or just at the fishbowl way back in '83

The only difference is they were good at writing hits

Every time I leave the house I want to disappear
Cars drive by with the radio, goes straight into my ear
Music's unforgettable
Why do you think it's so special
A catchy riff
A top 10 song
You can't quite put your finger on

Is it good, or is it shit?
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna write a hit!
I try and try, I'm never gonna learn
Oh why, oh why can't I write an earworm?
Oh why, oh why can't I write an earworm?

Why do you think it's so special
A catchy riff
A top 10 song
You can't quite put your finger on
"I've heard this before," you say
But it came out just yesterday
A tune so catchy, you can't go back
All you write sounds just like crap
You ask yourself if you're a hack
And nobody ever calls you back

Is it good, or is it shit?
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna write a hit!
I try and try, I'm never gonna learn
Oh why, oh why can't I write an earworm?
