Oh, gather ‘round, ye tasteless masses Let me school you in cinematic classes Once, the screens were dark and grand Now they’re bright and bland, oh, how trash the demand Progress, they claim Oh, what a joke Now every plot’s the same, just woke, woke, WOKE Where’s the drama Where’s the fear Where’s the subtext Oh dear, oh dear Now it’s all just flashing lights CGI and recycled rights Ooooh, the past was perfect, dark and divine Now we’ve got reboots in a soulless line Black-and-white had more to say Than your algorithms serve today But don’t worry, darling, here’s another sequel Remember when the monsters had a soul Now they’re just pixels on a corporate scroll Villains used to sing and scheme Now they’re just trauma in a teenage dream Oh no, did i offend Too edgy for thee Go watch your safe little factory Bring back the shadows, the puppetry The practical screams, the real misery Now it’s all just green screen sighs And endless superhero goodbyes Ooooh, the past was perfect, dark and divine Now we’ve got reboots in a soulless line I’ll take my vinyl, my silent art While you binge your content Congratulations, you’ve killed cinema Bravo
