This is not Music!
Trying so hard not to be fake
You forgot what real was
Listen to songs because You want too
Not cus' the radio thinks you should.
Go stick your tunes on shuffle
Turn it up for your friends
Do those sounds represent you?
Or do they represent trends?
So let these words become percussion
Banging against your eardrums
Do you even realize what your saying,
When you sing along to these songs?!
Tell me if I'm wrong
But it can't just be me
This isn't music!
It's high profit plastic mediocrity.
Dress em in chinos
Make em hum in harmony
Their innuendos disregarded
Due to fresh faced naivety.
' Course we don't want to fuck your daughter Mam,
That's not our game
But if she gets backstage
We'll make her glad that she came! '
No musical passion just
Quaffed hair and synchronized smiles
Drowned in the fashion
From elitist designer aisles.
Crowned as the bastions of youth, Why?!
You can't grow up properly
When your fucking life is televised.
Yet these warped lives
Are scrutinized
By the young masses
To busy tweeting obsessively
To revise for classes.
They just want to be celebrities
Want to be special, Heaven sent
They've just been chosen
Truman,
A life of product placement.
We need to wipe the slate clean
So this quarantine is for free minds
Who see through the mass appeal
Who want their music to make them move,
To make them feel.
Right now music is tainted with
Pop culture infection
The results,
Talent-less image whores
Your "Beiber's" and "One Direction's".
Well point me in their's
And I'll send those fuckers
Four different ways
Why isn't everybody throwing bottles
At these little bastards on stage?!
I wonder how many lines these 'Artists'
Actually wrote
Except for their names on the dotted
Fame exchanged
For their souls.
