Pagefire - More Than a Gimmick lyrics

Artist: Pagefire

album: Pagefire presents... Rubeus and the hagrids


Wizard rock is a dried-up river
How do these bands even look at themselves in the mirror
Singers and songwriters
Desperate for material
I guess it's very easy to write wizard songs that's trivial
They say it's not easy
I say it's lemon squeezy
Cause this gimmick can only last
As long as we got books stuck in the past
Cause you're more than a gimmick
You're a parody in disguise
You're just another mimic
Of a character from a franchise you can't criticize
Write a bunch of filler lines
Follow basic guidelines
Then wait for the die hard fans to make you shine
Until the day this genre dies
You will never get your Hogwarts letter
Maybe that's all for the better
When wizard school is done
Which job can you get with that coloured tie?
Is there a masters degree for making feathers fly?
They say this genre's easy
You pretend to disagree
What will you do when they stop making movies
Loosely based on Rowling's leftover footnotes?
Cause you're just another gimmick
Trying hard to compromise
With leftover lyrics
Of a character that millions of other idolize
Write a bunch of filler lines
Follow basic guidelines
Then wait for the die hard fans to make you shine
Until the day you have to write regular songs
Tell me
When The Well has run dry
What the fuck will you do?
When then movies stop coming
What the fuck will you do?
Post-Potter depression will one day come true
When the franchise is done
You will find another one
When the spin-off is done
What the fuck will you do?
When the books are all gone
What the fuck will you do?
Move on to a new franchise until till you hit another limit
And keep writing music under re-skinned old gimmicks!
