One Hit Wonder Lyrics

(Bigger, badder, better than you) (X4)

Loopy says he likes it up on top
Yes, he knows if he ever lets go
The pretty machine will swallow him whole

He has no fear
He has no sense of shame
He will not stop until everybody everywhere
Will want to know his name

The One Hit Wonder, he likes the big time
He says he wants to live the kind of life
That will make the folks back home all bitch and whine

He knows if he ever even gets the chance
He'd sell his soul to make the monster dance
They can't hurt you unless you let them

Loopy says he sure does like the good life
Yes, he knows all those women who scheme
Are just pretty pictures in the pretty machine

He knows if he ever even gets to try
He'd bite down hard to make the monster cry
He knows if he ever even gets the chance
He'd sell his soul to make the monster dance
They can't hurt you unless you let them

I will say it again
They cannot hurt you unless you let them

Loopy says he likes it up on top
He prays to God and he hopes like hell
The pretty machine, they will never fail

He has no fear
He doesn't really even have the time
He knows that the world is in love with the pretty machine
Oh, yeah, the pretty machine

The One Hit Wonder, he likes the big time
He wants to live the kind of life
That will make the folks back home scream, bitch and whine

He knows if he ever even gets to try
He'd bite down hard to make the monster cry
He knows if he ever even gets the chance
He'd sell his soul to make the monster dance
He knows if he ever even gets to play
He'd stomp like God to make the monster say

They can't hurt you unless you let them
They cannot hurt you unless you let them

Everclear is a rock band formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, in 1992. For most of its existence, Everclear consisted of Art Alexakis (b. 12 April 1962, Los Angeles, California, USA; vocals, guitar), Craig Montoya (b. 14 September 1970; bass, vocals) and Greg Eklund (b. 18 April 1970; drums). Eklund replaced original drummer Scott Cuthbert in 1994. Montoya and Eklund departed the band in 2003, but Alexakis has continued performing as Everclear with a new lineup.

After a solo tour in the fall of 2003, Alexakis decided to continue with Everclear, organizing a new band that made its debut in March of 2004. The new lineup consisted of bass player Sam Hudson, guitarist Dave French, and drummer Eric Bretl. In the summer of 2004, the band added keyboard player Josh Crawley, and swapped Bretl for former Everclear drum tech Brett Snyder. The new lineup released its first recording, a cover of Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land, that summer. A self-released EP of performances recorded for XM Satellite Radio called Closure was given out at shows in the fall of 2004.

Free of a major label, Alexakis spent the ensuing year and half slowly recording material for a new Everclear release. He admitted that the time after the breakup of the original lineup served as a "wake up call", during which he suffered his third divorce and a filing for bankruptcy. Alexakis announced the completion of the album in early 2006,titled Welcome To The Drama Club. The new band is now on Eleven Seven Music.

In August of 2008, drummer Brett Snyder left the band after four years. He was then replaced by Tommy Stewart, who previously played in bands Fuel and Godsmack. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
