If one more person should say to me
You can hold a tune son, have you thought of TV
There's a show you can try and they'll make you a star
Stick with Simon and you will go far
Don't get me wrong, I know they mean well
But I'm afraid I politely decline
Cos manipulation, money and greed
Are the things in this life I despise
Simon says jump and they say how high?
Simon says vote and his pockets they line
Simon says anything and kids start to cry
Simon says, Simon says
Its a deception that this is something honest and free
It's a glorified soap opera, they're just making TV
And it comes at a price for those plying the trade
From the North through the south it all fades
Simon says jump and they say how high?
Simon says vote and his pockets they line
Simon says anything and kids start to cry
Simon says, Simon says
While we pour out our hearts into three minute pop songs
Pick up guitars when life goes wrong
Put all we have into all that we do
To hell with stardom and to hell with you
To hell with stardom and to hell with you
You could not buy those who choose to create
For the freedom it brings and the smile on the face
Of the ones who are moved by things honest and true
I promise Simon we won't come for you
I promise Simon, we won't come for you
I promise Simon we won't come for you
