lyrics

There was once intelligence in music
There was once transcendence in music
“It’s only music” the children they say
“It’s only music” aha
I rehearse and curse
I struggle for the verse
I live and think and breathe it
conceive it and receive it

“It’s only music”” the children they say
“it’s only music”
Woah woah woe

I get infuriated with music
Focus group Pop they call music
“It’s only music” I say to myself
“It’s only music” that’s all
Spoon fed slop
Diarrhea Hip Hop
We can’t make it stop
God, just make it stop

“It’s only music” the children they say
“It’s only music aha ha ha

It’s only music

Critics will pontificate on music
Critics rarely know how to play music
“It’s only music” I hear what they say
“it’s only music” huh
Hits me when I’m down
I slip within it’s sound
Chords calling me
but everybody’s telling me
“It’s only music” that’s what they say
“It’s only music” hey

I was singing in the chorus
the director, he ignored us
The phrasing was all wrong
We massacred the song
“It’s only music”
I was singing in the chorus
the director, he ignored us
The phrasing was all wrong
We massacred the song
“It’s only music”
I was singing in the chorus
the director, he ignored us
The phrasing was all wrong
We massacred the song
“It’s only music”
I was singing in the chorus
the director, he ignored us
The phrasing was all wrong
We massacred the song

“It’s only music” the children, they say
“It’s only music” hey now now now

There was once intelligence in music
There was once transcendence in music
There was once intelligence in music
There was once transcendence in music
There was once intelligence in music
There was once transcendence in music
