Stole Them from the Radio

You said you liked musicians And here I am, pretending to be one You've put me in an awkward position Because now you want me to write you a song But I don't have the words or the knowhow I'm only in this thing for the money Anyway, take a look at yourself You're not really that interesting, honey I only learned to play guitar To help me get a girlfriend I wouldn't've cared if I'd learned the drums My voice is kinda scratchy and annoying But I vaguely kinda know how to strum I've got no original thoughts of my own So I Stole Them From The Radio They say that step one to songwriting Is to be as vague as you possibly can The words you put to a tune They must apply to every woman and man So I'll shout the word "Hey!" a lot Get everyone sounding all the same And I'll call you my "baby" or "girl" Yes, it's misogynistic without saying your name I only learned to play guitar To help me get a girlfriend I wouldn't've cared if I'd learned the drums My voice is kinda scratchy and annoying But I vaguely kinda know how to strum I've got no original thoughts of my own So I Stole Them From The Radio I'm only using three chords And I've turned on the autotune And just like when we make love I'm doing it for somebody other than you I only learned to play guitar To help me get a girlfriend I wouldn't've cared if I'd learned the drums My voice is kinda scratchy and annoying But I vaguely kinda know how to strum I've got no original thoughts of my own So I Stole Them From The Radio
