Late Cambrian - The Label Needed a Single [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Produced by Late Cambrian]

[Verse 1: John]
Got a call late at night
From our manager, not alright
He was hopping on a plane from the sunny west coast
Need to be there when we're writing

Our label called him up
They had heard early demos and uh oh
If they're gonna be our label anymore
They would have to hear a single

[Chorus]
Everybody want a shiny car
Everybody want to go real far
Everybody get a writer's check
Buy a coke-lined limo with the models in back

Uh oh uh oh - Shine a little light on me
I'm wading through these contracts
I'm losing touch with who I used to be
Uh oh uh oh - Shine a little light on me
These haters say I'm selling out
At least I'm selling in this economy

[Verse 2: John]
I used to bare my heart
Every lyric made me fall apart
Only singing what was personal to me
I thought everyone would love it

I learned soon enough
If the chorus has a well placed, "oh eh oh!"
Everybody in the local bar you know
They can join you on the, "eh oh!"

[Chorus]
Everybody want a shiny car
Everybody want to go real far
Everybody get a writer's check
Buy a coke-lined limo with the models in back

Uh oh uh oh - Shine a little light on me
I'm wading through these contracts
I'm losing touch with who I used to be
Uh oh uh oh - Shine a little light on me
These haters say I'm selling out
At least I'm selling in this economy

Everybody gonna raise their hands everybody gonna raise their hands

Everybody want a shiny car
Everybody want to go real far
Everybody get a writer's check
Buy a coke-lined limo with the models in back
And if you sleep tonight then maybe you can dream it's alright

Uh oh uh oh - Shine a little light on me (x3)
I'm wading through these contracts
I'm losing touch with who I used to be
Uh oh uh oh - Shine a little light on me
These haters say I'm selling out
At least I'm selling in this economy

Everybody gonna raise their hands everybody gonna raise their hands
