Flop Culture by FM Static
When I was young I used to turn up the bass
And rock out to Billie Jean and Thriller in my basement
When Michael Jackson was a pop sensation
Every second song on the radio
Remember Axle 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 oh oh
And there’s a million other people with a lot on their mind
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
And flip through the pages of the Ro-oh-lling Stone
Used to turn it up to 10 on my drive home
With Mick Jagger singing ‘It’s only rock-n-roll
No gloves, no zipper coats
Just rock stars eating their filet mignon
Where did Van Halen put guitar solos
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 oh oh
Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
Britney should have never covered satisfaction
No no oh oh oh
And there’s a million other people with a lot on their mind
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 softly with this whole mirage
And replace the music with hydraulic cars
I’ll trade my first favorite old fashion
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 oh oh [x2]
Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
Britney should have never covered satisfaction
No no oh oh oh
