More Than a Gimmick Lyrics

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!
