An Ode to the POP Machine: Manufactured Art for Commerce

lyrics

I'm the bad muthaf(*&^ gon fill up all of your radio waves
I'm the big bad monster/single dropper constantly on the stereo fades
Said I don't care what you like and I don't care what you need
I'm your POP Machine

I'm the pusherman fanmaker deal breaker, labels are my family man
I'm the dancebeat synthesizer mesmerizer advertisers left and right
I take a bad song and make it good
I take a bad song and make it last
I'm your POP Machine

It's the same thing over again
It's a pretty girl with a big ol grin
And imma make sure that she win
And it don't take much, because I'm in
and all she gotta do is show that skin
and I'll do the rest with my media spin
cuz I'm your POP Machine

What makes it POP is that you heard it before
It's the same chord change I-V-VI-IV
It's saw synth and four on the floor
It's a POP Hit baby, whatchya looking for?
cuz I'm your POP Machine
