Radio Friendly Pop Song Lyrics & Chords By Matt Fishel

It's a pleasure to meet you my friend, come take a seat at my desk
I gotta tell ya kid, the whole team is more-than-impressed
Your melodies soar and all of your choruses shine
The lyrics are sound and your voice is fundamentally fine
But face it, if you wanne make it onto radio kid, you gotta do as I say
Change all the 'him's into 'her's
And just don't tell the world that you're...SHHH!!

Happy to help, take my card, please think about what I've said
But this is an industry where people make money, so your art has to sell
And you should never seek to challenge an audience,
They buy what they're told and we never get it wrong
Go write us a non-offensive, tasteful, conventional song...
Like this one:

Girls like boys and boys like girls
And that's the way it should be
Forever

Welcome to tinsel town kid, I'm gonna make you a star
You got the fire in your gut and everything that you need to go far
You're a talented guy, you could shake Hollywood to the ground
And with us on your side, plus your looks, you're gonna conquer this town.
But face it; if you wanna break into this business kid, you gotta play the part
And you'll never play a leading man if you let on to your fans the truth about who you are

Just remember that...
Girls like boys and boys like girls
And that's the way it has been
Forever
Yeah, girls like boys and boys like girls
And that's the way it will be
Forever

On the radio,
In Hollywood,
On the TV shows
For the greater good
He said, "think about the children, think about the children"

You wanted me to write a hit record for the radio
Are you never gonna get it?
The kids already know...

Some girls like girls, some boys got a boyfriend
I like guys and they like me
We hold hands, make out do all the things that lovers do

Girls like boys and boys like girls
And that's the way it has been
Forever
Yeah, girls like boys and boys like girls
And that's the way it will be—
Whatever!
