I hear a song on the radio play
Can sing it all by the end of the day
Would you laugh at the words that I'm saying
Pop music is what I'm playing

I've got no shame, still nothing to prove
Songs can change you or just make you move
Parachutes, Fireworks, Beautiful Days
You're too angry to say

I've got my mind open wide
And it's fine if you despise it
Lives too short to hide what you like
Guilty pleasures are alright
Music changed my life

So what if I don't connect with all the lyrics
They get me singing every time I hear it
Even though they're not screaming for change
They pick me up when I have a bad day

I've got no shame, still nothing to prove
Some songs change you or just make you move
Ain't it fun, Don't Speak, Holiday
You're too angry to say

I've got my mind open wide
And it's fine if you despise it
Lives too short to hide what you like
Guilty pleasures are alright
Music changed my life

When I got the music I got a place to go
Underground or on the radio
You are who you are, there's nothing you can do
People will always pass judgement on you
You are who you are, there's nothing you can do

I've got my mind open wide
And it's fine if you despise it
Lives too short to hide what you like
Guilty pleasures are alright
Still got my hardcore pride
