[Intro] If only there's a way To tell the world we are great [Instrumental Intro] [Verse] Maybellene by Chuck Berry Co-written by Alan Freed? Rock 'n' roll disc jockey Just to play it on repeat Counterfeit by Limp Bizkit At K.U.F.O. station A few thousand for a few spins Just to jumpstart some traction [Pre-Chorus] If only there's a way (Ways, ways, ways) To tell the world we are great (Great, great, great) Oh Mr. DJ, would you please play my songs? Oh Mr. MTV, would you please rotate my videos? Oh Mr. Robots, I just need one that's 31 seconds long Oh Mr. Al, please put me in recommendations... Recommendations [Verse] Vegas trips by Sony BMG Small gifts for radio people Pay-for-play reality Something everybody knows Discovery Mode by Spotify An algorithmic placement Artists with lower royalties Something old-school on a new platform [Pre-Chorus] If only there's a way (Ways, ways, ways) To tell the world we are great (Great, great, great) [Chorus] Oh Mr. DJ, would you please play my songs? Oh Mr. MTV, would you please rotate my videos? Oh Mr. Robots, I just need one that's 31 seconds long Oh Mr. AI, please put me in recommendations... Recommendations....... [Bridge] Are your goods any good? Is your art the real deal? Do the songs really slap— Or just ride the machine’s wheel? Is the system all greased up, Working deep in the scenes, Pulling heavy-ass strings, Making it feel so real? Making it feel so real? [Solo] [Pre-Chorus] If only there's a way (Ways, ways, ways) To tell the world we are great (Great, great, great) [Chorus] Oh Mr. DJ, would you please play my songs? Oh Mr. MTV, would you please rotate my videos? Oh Mr. Robots, I just need one that's 31 seconds long Oh Mr. Al, please put me in recommendations... [Chorus] Oh Mr. DJ, would you please play my songs? Oh Mr. MTV, would you please rotate my videos? Oh Mr. Robots, I just need one that's 31 seconds long Oh Mr. AI, please put me in recommendations... Recommendations Recommendations....... [Instrumental Outro]
