Radio play just depresses me today
Why is it so "throw away"
Lists that you write just to classify this tribe
When clearly it all sounds the same
Well I've heard it all done before
A hundred years ago boy
Originality is so passe
Just the same old politics
Through pretentious affectionates
My self-obsessive slobs
The list goes on
Media press has become an utter mess
The opinions of failed pop stars
They constantly try to divert the public eye
Led by large catchy promises and such
Well I've heard it all done before
A hundred years ago boy
Originality is so passe
Forgotten genres yet rehashed
Create the craze, create the cash
If you buy anything
The list goes on
And I will try
Not to let this get to me
But it goes on ...
Yeah it goes on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on on on on on on!
Oh, I've heard it all done before
A hundred years ago boy
Originality is so passe
If I ever lose my faith in you
Nothing's good what can you do?
Just may you buy anything
The list goes on
Oh, the list goes on
