lyrics

NUTS AND BOLTS AND MANY SCREWS THAT HOLD
THE PIECES TOGETHER
THEY KEEP HIM IN LINE

PROGRAMS IMPLANTED
ENCODED ON TRANSCRIPTS
I MUST KEEP TRACK OF WHAT GOES IN HIS MIND

PROGRAMMED TO SING
PROGRAMMED TO DANCE
PROGRAMMED TO PLAY GUITAR
PROGRAMMED NOT TO MOLEST LITTLE BOYS
INDEED I HAVE CONSTRUCTED THE PERFECT POP STAR

IT STARTS WITH THE BEATLES, GARY NUMAN AND DEVO
AND THEN ADD SOME PRINCE AND SOME OLD-SCHOOL CARS
THAT SYNTHESIZED SOUND SHALL ALWAYS SURROUND
THE CHAMBER CONTAINING THE PERFECT POP STAR
THIS STRIVE TOWARDS PERFECTION HAS LED TO THE ERECTION
OF A YOUNG RISING SUN TEN STROKES UNDER PAR
I SLAVED NIGHT AND DAY WITHOUT ANY PAY
UNTIL I HAD CONSTRUCTED THE PERFECT POP STAR

IT STARTS WITH THE BEATLES, GARY NUMAN, AND DEVO
AND THEN ADD SOME PRINCE AND SOME OLD-SCHOOL CARS
