The Industry Lyrics by Meryl Streek

Songs For The Deceased

0

Radios polluted by pop music
It would make your ears bleed on a daily basis
Played by idiots who grew up in D4
And got given Mastercards for their sweet 16
And we have a government who have failed on every single level
And we've kids sleeping on the street
And nobody seems to give a shit
Instead you decide to write about what meals we should eat midweek
And what pubs to visit on our weekends out
And you ignore what's news and pay into what's bought
Corrupt at best, you are the root of the entire problem
And we have a music industry polluted with scum making empty promises to kids and pretending they're too cool to ever talk with you
They failed at music and got given cushy desk jobs
They remain relevant standing at gigs with their arms crossed
Magazines and blogs you've to pay for to get given a four-line review of something you've stuck your whole life into
A paid-off media massaging egos and brown nosing music journalists
Your industry's a laughing joke and this country will never change
I'll sleep when I'm dead because I'll have a much better rest anyway
And keep playing the music that sounds the same
And the music that's funded by all the wealthy parents who used to be in the game
Lads you've released two singles and already wearing shades on stage
At every poxy major festival you paid to play
Your industry's a laughing joke and you're all the poxy same
Keep playing the poxy music that sounds the same
And you can say what you want
But this industry is the way it is
Because you all act the way you act
Bands who all look and sound the same
Singing about shit they haven't got a fucking clue about
And you can say what you want
It is the way it is because you all act the way you act
