When I was young, it seemed that music was wonderful,
Original, oh it was beautiful, lyrical
And all the bands on TV, well they'd be singing harmoniously
Melodic'ly, tunefully pleasing me.
But now when I watch TV, it all seems so predictable
Atonal, repeatable, despicable
And they showed me a band who were singing so tunelessly
Fruitlessly, listlessly uselessly

There are times I hear these bands again
They all sound just the same
I'm just a simple chap
Oh, no please, don't tell me what they've earned
I know they sound absurd
But most they sound like c**p

Music today - an exercise in futility
Stupidity, redundancy, no ability
And the bands are all clones, not one is individual
Ineffectual, respectable, presentable, they're vegtables!

At night, I hear these bands again
They still sound just the same
It's more than just a bit
Oh, no please, don't tell me what they've earned
I know they sound absurd
But most they sound like s**t
