what’s the matter with your life
is the poverty bringing you down
is the mailman jerking you ’round
did he put your million dollar check
in someone else’s box
tell me what’s the matter with your world
was it a boy when you wanted a girl
boy when you wanted a girl
don’t you know straight hair ain’t got no curl
no curl
life it ain’t real funky
unless it’s got that pop
dig it
pop life
everybody needs a thrill
pop life
we all got a space to fill
pop life
everybody can’t be on top
but life it ain’t real funky
unless it’s got that pop
dig it
tell me what’s that underneath your hair
is there anybody living there
anybody living there
you can’t get over if you say you just don’t care
don’t care
show me a boy who stays in school and i’ll show you a boy aware
dig it
pop life
everybody needs a thrill
pop life
we all got a space to fill
pop life
everybody can’t be on top
but life it ain’t real funky
unless it’s got that pop
dig it

what you putting in your nose
is that where all your money goes
is that where your money goes
the river of addiction flows
you think it’s hot but there won’t be no water
when the fire blows
dig it
pop life
everybody needs a thrill
pop life
we all got a space to fill
pop life
everybody wants to be on top
but life it ain’t real funky
unless it’s got that pop
interlude
throw the bum out
everybody needs a thrill
pop life
we all we got a space to fill
pop life
everybody can’t be on top
but life it ain’t real funky
unless it’s got that pop
