lyrics

Turn that music off, turn it off.
Now is not the time, how can you not tell?
I wanted to leave when you asked me to.
Now I’m unprepared – but mostly glad.

You joined a cargo cult of atonal boys.
But watch the pianola roll, player piano.
Unveil the emperor’s new clothes, is it getting cold?
Spare me, spare me just this once: turn that music off.

I don’t want to start a fight, or to be abrupt.
But I can’t take one second more, I've got to interrupt.
Why don’t you focus on your strengths? You really should have stopped.
I don’t want to debate, just turn that music off.

Am I being unreasonable? Is it really that hard to realise that this static you’re projecting is just worthless, degenerate noise? I've been biting my tongue for so long, I've been numbed by this white noise disco. I’m just finding myself paralysed as to why you won’t turn all this off. If you want to hear melodies, try any other song in the world. What’s the point of technology if you can’t even play just one chord? What a forum of stagnation, oblivious to all the freaks with the balls to make music that isn't dependent on E.

Turn that music off!
