    Story Behind the Song
    Commentary on the demise of music. 90% of the songs in the pop/rock genre are based on cliche chord changes and lyrical content. Most musicians in the biz are not true miusicians but were born in the garage culture where they can only proliferate what they've already heard.

    Lyrics

    Enough! I’ve had it watch the dial spin
    Radio’s playin' all your crap again
    I can’t be politically correct
    ‘Cause my policy's not in effect like it should be

    Bite this and let 'em tie your body down
    What’s wrong? You look a little spellbound
    Truth injection isn’t gonna hurt
    Just a little pinch kinda like a shark attack would be


    You torture us with no surprises
    Sounds like your all writing with the same brain
    You’ve caused a music deficit crisis
    Why don't you just abstain loser?

    Your messages are trite and gloomy
    Those lines - well I can’t believe you think hard
    Profound? No they’re laughable to me
    That makes you a rock star …loser


    So many of you and so little time
    I can't begin to list your sonic crimes
    Bad songs fixed up with technology
    In the studio so blatantly - you’re a rip off

    Why stop its working take it to the stage
    Outrage and flash are all it really takes
    Those gears are turning on your cash machine
    You or just any dolt it would seem could pull this off


    You hide behind awards from dumb judges
    The best of the loser lot is still bad
    Who cares what a known charlatan says?
    So glad now I’ve made you mad losers

    You use worn and stale progressions
    Four chords more or less in your repertoire
    Master of creative oppression
    You must be a rock star …loser


    Nowhere to hide – now its judgment day
    You’ve been discovered in a new way
    Poor skills and next to no diversity
    You were an easy way abductee - now it's over


    "New name is all we need to see us through"
    Don’t bother hammerhead we'll know it’s you
    Our expectations go beyond that
    We won't be rolling out the welcome mat for shallow misnomer


    We’re bringing in a music exception
    Smithsonian is where you’re gonna live next
    Your record deal is out of the question
    No more life of excess loser

    We radiate harmonic libation
    We’ll liberate the state of art with no scars
    We live for cerebral sensation
    We’ll be the new rock star…loser
