Red Hot Chili Peppers - Punk Rock Classic [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I'm a radio Joe of the biz called show
I'm a rocking pop-star with a get up and go
Rubbing elbows with the big wigs at my sold out shows
I've been on every cover, even Rolling Stone

[Chorus]
Put us on MTV
All we really need
Begging on our knees
Please, please, please, please, please

[Verse 2]
Conforming to the norm straight out of the mold
Compromising each and every ounce of soul
I'm doing anything for the records of gold
I only want what I can hold

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
We know that we'll never be better than
Mister slick superstar David Letterman
I promise we'll be perfect gentlemen
Just put us on the show you'll regret us then

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Thank you very much, be sure to label us
We wouldn't want to cause a ruckus or a fuss
AOR, CHR, Top Forty or Bust

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
What I am is a picture on the TV screen
Don't make waves, don't make a scene
What I say when I play isn't worth a bean
I'm a video Joe in an industry

[Chorus]
