I really do think I’m getting old
Why would I listen to sounds without anything to hold
In my prime people used to socialize
And buy records at the local store
But today those do not even exist anymore
When the trendy kids go to a show
They watch the entire gig through their up-to-date telephones
Tell me why don’t they enjoy the moment
While it is happening before their eyes
Instead of saving it to watch it later in small size
Where is my generation
When we turned our stereo on
It is a whole new brand
Things got out of hand
I don’t understand this teenage radio hell
Let’s talk about record companies
One of the biggest conspiracies of the last century
They think they know what people like to hear
And the way it should be packaged
They treat our ears with disposable fast-food garbage
Now music has become digital
And it belongs to the thieves but more power to the people
It is worth a used handkerchief but in the meantime
It looks rad on their little screens
And may God prevent the day their machines all sink
Where is my generation
When we turned our stereo on
It is a whole new brand
Things got out of hand
I don’t understand this teenage radio hell
You cannot walk somewhere without being brainwashed by noises
Then they possess your head to never get out of it
Goddamn!
Turn it on, turn it up
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Turn it on, turn it up
Just shake your hips to the beat
This masquerade has lasted far too long
All the fake rebels need to take an everlasting vacation
Their fifteen minutes of fame must come to an end
They finally have to be sacked
It is time to give the radio back to the maniacs
