They say that music now all sounds the same
Well maybe so
But I'm not keen on hip hop, rap, or techno
All the big shots have a brand to grow
They'll grow it more and hope I'll follow
No, I'll always be a freak of rock 'n' roll
They say the business is the one to blame
That may be true
The stations play us beats and licks we're used to
With masses brainwashed, the business booms
Producers make a buck and spread the tunes
Instead of listening, I'll be watching
Roll out the red carpet
Start the show
With the same new sound from a voice you know
Take photos of artists
At the show
With their changeless smiles and glitzy clothes
Somehow
I don't know what the hype is all about
