Fairy Bones - Look Good for the Radio [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Messed up when I saw the other side
Now I wake up ready to lie
Wash my tongue and brush my hair
Cause the people on the radio always care

So, I look my best while you're still in bed
Feed the record man's swollen head
Never need a stupid pity party
Cause I'm fine with what you want from me

Gotta look good for the radio
Gotta look good for the radio
Gotta look good for the radio
Or else they'll turn on you

First, they'll say you need a happy tune
Up-tempo, make the club go "boom, boom"
Then, they'll say you need to look the part
So forget about what's in your heart, cause

No one wants to date the loser
We all wanna be a winner
We all wanna have a million bucks
So we never have to give a ... !

Gotta look good for the radio
Gotta look good for the radio
Gotta look good for the radio
Or else they'll turn on you

You wanted what they sold
So why try and break the mold?
It's just that what you see
Is really nothing like me
They're always gonna have their opinions
Their reasons for hating you
But no one ever asked them

Gotta look good for the radio
Gotta look good for the radio
Gotta look good for the radio
Or else they'll turn on you

Gotta look good for the radio
Gotta look good for the radio
Gotta look good for the radio
Or else they'll turn on you
