Flop Culture

When I was young I used to turn up the bass and

Rock out to Billy Jean and Thriller in my basement

When Michael Jackson was a pop sensation

Every second song on the radio station

Remember Axl telling us to have patience

And records sold without any affiliation

When William Hung and music still had no relation

Someone tell Janet bring back the rhythm nation

No gloves no zipper coats

No more yellow submarines or kokomos

If we could ask Luther Vandross

I bet he'd wonder the same

Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson

And MTV trading music for acting

Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim

Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh

And there's a million other people

With a lot on their minds

But for me I'm not the type to let a good thing die

If we could bring The Beatles

Back to rock it one more time

We could turn this mess around

One beat at a time

When I was young I used to turn

Up my headphones

Flip through the pages of the Rolling Stones

I used to turn it up on my drive home

With McJagur singing "It's Only Rock n' Roll

No gloves no zipper coats

Just rockstars eating their filet mignon

Where did Van Halen put guitar solo's

I bet they'd wonder the same

Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson

And MTV trading music for acting

Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim

Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh

Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson

And bands reuniting just to get a reaction

Britney should've never covered satisfaction

No no woah-oh-oh-oh

And there's a million other people

With a lot on their minds

But for me I'm not the type to let a good thing die

If we could bring The Beatles

Back to rock it one more time

We could turn this mess around one beat at a time

You're killing me stop playing with this whole mirage

And replace the music with hydraulic cars

I'd trade my first favorite Ovation guitar

If we could retrace the steps we've made so far

Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson

And MTV trading music for acting

Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim

Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh

Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson

And MTV trading music for acting

Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim

Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh

Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson

And bands reuniting just to get a reaction

Britney should've never covered satisfaction

No no woah-oh-oh-oh

No no woah-oh-oh-oh
