Suck For Sympathy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dont mind, if your kids love it
I cant stand that popshit thing
Why can't you just play some good tunes
Who will make some ears ring
2..3..4..
Chorus (x2):
Hey Mr. DJ
Stop playing bullshit on the radio...
Dear Mr Popstar Why dont you quit
writing love songs so meaningless
Because love is so fucking trivial
You can stick them up your ass
2..3..4..
Chorus (x2):
Hey Mr. DJ
Stop playing bullshit on the radio...
Dear industry you had your fun
By getting millions from stupid kids
Your time is over people are tired
Of blonde Latinas with fake tits
2..3..4..
Chorus (x2):
Hey Mr. DJ
Stop playing bullshit on the radio...
Crowd (x3):
Hey Mr. DJ
Stop playing bullshit on the radio...
