lyrics

So you wanna hear mainstream, do you?
I take it you prefer mainstream, well, I guess that’s coo'
But you can’t expect me to like what you like
To play what you like, to do what you like
Cos why would I play music I don’t like?

Well in a perfect world you’d love me for me
I’d do what’s natural, but I’ll force my voice to sound how you want
I’m dodging rainbows, but where you are it’s stormy
So take your coffee and move on to someone who gives a fuck
Yeah, where I come from intention is everything
The way I mean what I say is how what you said is mean
How dare I put my true self on display for you
I puke the unexpected while you’re asking me for routine
I’ll stick with my acoustic guitar, my washboard and my bass
While you shove your drums into your Poker Face

The standards I adhere to are the practices I keep
A pattern ever changes on the cactuses I sleep
God forbid I keep it interesting and make changes to a song
No instead the same old chorus so the zombies sing along

So you wanna hear mainstream, do you?
I take it you prefer mainstream, Woop de do!
But you can’t expect me to like what you like
To play what you like, to do what you like
Cos why would I play music I don’t like?

So be yourself and don’t let anyone change you
Unless you’re an infant who can’t comprehend changing yourself
The check will clear, but they are there to exchange you
Don't point it out cos you might get a talking to
Let's change the world with a catchy-ass chorus
Repeat for emphasis and rinse, repeat and repeat again
Following rules is why our fans all adore us
I’d better leave before I overstay my welcome
I’ll stick with the music I love and a smile unto myself
But I’m probably a copy of someone else

Well, it's mainstream....I know
I get it, you prefer mainstream, uh oh
You see, you can’t expect me to like what you like
To play what you like, to do what you like
To sing how you like, to act how you like
To play how you like, to be who you like
'Cos why would I play music I don’t like?
Dude, why would I play music I don’t like?
