[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the ceiling
Searching for some word that rhymes with how I'm feeling

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone feed the fishes
Someone clean my car
I can't keep up on the dishes
While I wish upon a star
Someone save my soul
I'm a slave to rock and roll

[Chorus]
Please, politicians, preachers, pray
Give us wisdom, teach us right from wrong
Oh yeah
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song

[Verse 2]
I've been chipping at this sculpture
Hoping his gigantic hands will heal pop culture

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone raise the wages
Someone fight the fight
I've been speaking with the sages
In the middle of the night
Someone save my soul
I sold it to Billy Joel
In the middle of the...
[Chorus]
Please, politicians, preachers, pray
Give us wisdom, teach us right from wrong
Oh yeah
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song
Please, Mother Nature's on her knees
Read the paper, see what's going on
What's going on
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song

[Break]
Please, politicians, preachers, pray
Give us wisdom, teach us right from wrong
Oh yeah
I'm too busy trying

[Chorus]
Please, politicians, preachers, pray
Give us wisdom, teach us right from wrong
Oh yeah
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song
Please, Mother Nature's on her knees
Read the paper, see what's going on
(What's going on) Oh oh yeah
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song
I'm too busy trying to write a pop song
