A Song Is Not A Business Plan - The Rocket Summer

Hey stop, do you hear an echo?

I do but does anyone know?

The same old thing we heard an hour ago,

Different band, the same radio

We broke down on the side of the road,

East coast we had to cancel the shows

I’m trying as hard as I can

But I’d rather write a song than a business plan

Because this is me saying words I actually mean

I won’t compromise this thing just to make it

I want to that’s a given but,

I can’t imagine the same way as you,

Oh you, no, I’ll never do the things they do just to make it

Oh, oh whoa

Oh, Oh

Singing soul, you say you got it in you

Something to say, well I don’t hear it in any one of your tunes

The words you heard you reused

You got a hook, but it’s no book, got no soul just a look

And this is me saying words I actually mean

I won’t compromise this thing just to make it

I want to that’s a given but,

I can’t imagine the same way as you.

Oh you, no, I’ll never do the things they do just to make it.

Oh, oh.

Honest and real

What happened to having something to say?

Where is the purpose?

What happened?

You made this all become about nothing

This song is not a business plan

We’re losing hope in the world

Create something you love

Follow the formulas

What does it take?

Say what you mean, and not because someone else said it,

but because it’s what you feel

Do you even know what you’re even saying?

Or you just saying it cause someone else said it.

Do you even know what you’re even saying?

Or you just saying it cause someone else said it.

Do you even know what you’re even saying?

Or you just saying it cause someone else said it.

Do you even know what you’re even saying?

Or you just saying it…

I want to, that’s a given but,

I can’t imagine the same way as you,

Oh you, no, I’ll never do the things they do just to make it.

I, I want to that’s a given but,

I can’t imagine the same way as you,

Oh you, no, I’ll never do the things they do just to make it.

Oh, Oh

Oh, Oh whoa

Oh, Oh

Oh, Oh whoa

Oh, Oh

Oh, Oh whoa

Oh
