Flop Culture

When I was young I used to turn up the bass and
 Rock out to Billie Jean and Thriller in my basement
 When Michael Jackson was a pop sensation
 Every second song on the radio station
 Remember Axle telling us to have patience
 And records sold without any affiliation
 When William hung and music still had no relation
 Someone tell Janet bring back the rhythm nation
 No gloves, no zipper coats
 No more yellow submarines or kokomos
 If we could ask Luther Vandross
 I bet he'd wonder the same
 Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
 And MTV trading music for acting
 Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
 Woah oh oh oh
 And theres a million other people with a lot on their mind
 But for me I'm not the type to let a good thing die
 If we could bring The Beatles back to rock it one more time
 We could turn this mess around, one beat at a time

 When I was young I used to turn up my headphones
 And flip through the pages of the Ro-oh-lling Stone
 Used to turn it up to ten on my drive home
 With Mick Jagger singing "its only rock-n-roll"
 No gloves, no zipper coats
 Just rock stars eating their filet mignon
 Where did Van Halen put guitar solos?
 I bet they'd wonder the same
 Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
 And MTV trading music for acting
 Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
 Woah oh oh oh
 Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
 And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
 Britney should have never covered satisfaction
 No no oh oh oh
 And theres a million other people with a lot on their mind
 But for me I'm not the type to let a good thing die
 If we could bring The Beatles back to rock it one more time
 We could turn this mess around, one beat at a time
 You're killin' me softly with this whole mirage
 And replace the music with hydraulic cars
 I'll trade my first favorite
 Old fashion guitar
 If we could retrace the
 Steps we've made so far
 Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
 And MTV trading music for acting
 Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
 Woah oh oh oh
 Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
 And MTV trading music for acting
 Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
 Woah oh oh oh
 Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
 And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
 Britney should have never covered satisfaction
 No no oh oh oh
 No no oh oh oh
