What Happened to the Songs Posted on June 13, 2013 by acupofsongwriting 4 What happened to those tunes man Now all I hear anymore is sand Sand in my ears Under the nails on my fingers On my skin and under I can’t stand it anymore Why doesn’t anyone say anything anymore When did music become so regulatory All for finances and Hollywood glory? That a fucking shame Why do we want what is so lame To fill our ears With nothing of value and worth No protest song or connection The radio guides us in one direction Upon inspection It is less that satisfaction That they blare this worthlessness To world and miss What happened to the songs of old When a man could hold a guitar So a story could be told I don’t think that is old fashion It is just a higher calling Than that green cash’in Let the melodies ring out Let the voices sing I will leave you with one thought When you hear that radio And the artist with the timeslot bought Should your mind and thoughts be controlled? So in some Bentley some executive can roll? Music is much more than that Than just some guys money rat Share this: Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Like Loading...
