I think I'm gonna start a band   The great depression is at hand   People will mourn across the land   Yeah, I'm gonna start a band      Or maybe I should write a book   And let the critics have a look   They'll hail me as the new James Joyce   The audience won't have a choice      But the popstars sing:      You know that I love you   You know that I need you   16 years tomorrow   And I'll never leave you      I'm 17 and tired of my life   Under my pillow is a knife   I'm sick and tired of this world   But yet I haven't kissed a girl   I know this world is full of pain   And yeah, I haven't cried in vain   'Cause my dog died the other day   And nothing can wash my tears away      But the popstars sing:      You know that I love you   You know that I need you   16 years tomorrow   And I'll never leave you      And I won't sing that I love you   I only sing things that are true   And I won't sing no la la la la la   Because I'm not in love with you      But the popstars sing:      You know that I love you   You know that I need you   16 years tomorrow   And I'll never leave you      You know that I love you   You know that I need you   16 years tomorrow   And I'll never leave you      You know that I love you   You know that I need you   16 years tomorrow   And I'll never leave you
