Seems like it has layers though. At first it seems like a fluffy pop song. Then you realize he’s saying it doesn’t matter what he says, you’re going to listen if he sings with feeling and the song has a good hook. But then eventually he says he can’t be insincere - he’s got too much pride to just turn out junk. The key section is:

• So desperately I sing to thee of love
• Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
• And I can’t keep these feeling on the shelf
• I’ve tried, well no, in fact I lied
• Could be financial suicide but I’ve got too much pride inside
• To hide or slide
• I’ll do as I’ll decide and let it ride till until I’ve died
• And only then shall I abide by this tide
• Of catchy little tunes
• Of hip three minute diddies
• I wanna bust all your balloons
• I wanna burn of all your cities to the ground
• But I’ve found, I will not mess around
• Unless I play then hey
• I will go on all day
• Hear what I say
• I have a prayer to pray
• That’s really all this was
• And when I’m feeling stuck and need a buck
• I don’t rely on luck

That song still jams, though. The hook brings you back.
