“They don’t make music like this anymore”

Music these days is a bore

Music these days holds no truth.

Sure you can play it through Bluetooth

But nothing beats the crackle of a vinyl

Where inner sleeves are a music lover's bible.

Don’t you miss the days when mtv ruled the music scene?

I know I do and I’m only sixteen.

When Simon Le Bon’s voice was unmatched

And John Taylor was a real catch.

My generation has no Rebel Yell;

No David Byrne.

Only sex to sell

Which makes my stomach churn.

What happened to the ‘good old days’?

What happened to The Lovecats and My Own Way?

They’ve been replaced by cookie cutter images

Of perfect people and skewed messages.

If men like Robert Smith were my age

They wouldn’t make it past the school stage.

Everyone has to conform

No one wants to perform.

I hope this has taken you back

To the days of the Love Shack.

If people started to look at what was hip

Then maybe we would do longer have a musical dictatorship.

The individual could rule

Without any ridicule.
