Prince and the Revolution - Pop Life lyrics

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

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
