The Blackburns - Hooks Lyrics

If you've got no hooks then I've got no time
But if you've got hooks, you're a compatriot of mine
They've got these songs now when you listen it's like trying to read a book
All I know when I hear them go is that they've got no hooks
And when you're record is kinda checkered and you're in need of some forgiving
That's a strange way to make a living

It's not show friends. it's show business
Don't look at me like that, it's just the way the world is
See over here you got friends and over here you got business
Do what you gotta do between the two don't expect forgiveness
And when your branding loses standing, people might have some misgivings
That's a strange way to make a living

That's a strange way to make a living
Who we kidding?

Everywhere I look I can see the seams
I can see the imperfections, I can see them in my dreams
Once you see the seams, you see, there's no way to unsee them
You can see the seams with every fiber of your being
When the people don't want sequels, you'll find the world will keep on spinning
And that's a strange way to make a living

That's a strange way to make a living
Who we kidding?
Who am I kidding?
