Radio play just depresses me today

Why is it so throw away

The lists that you write

Just to classify this tripe

When clearly it all sounds the same

Oh oh oh

Well I've heard it all done before

A hundred years ago or more

Originality is so passe

Just the same old politics

Through pretentious effects units

By self-obsessive slobs

The list goes on



Media press has become an utter mess

The opinions of failed pop stars

They constantly try to divert the public eye

Led by large cash deposits and such



Well I've heard it all done before

A hundred years ago or more

Originality is so passe

Forgotten genres get rehatched

Create the craze, create the cash

Would you buy anything?

The list goes on



And I will try

Not to let this get to me

But it goes on

It goes on and on and on and on

And on and on and on and on...



Oh I've heard it all done before

A hundred years ago or more

Originality is so passe

I'll never lose my faith in you

When nothing's good what can you do?

Just don't buy anything

The list goes on
