Change it Up

[Verse 1 ] Every song is schoolyard taunts Quantized ‘til it’s dead Squashed the soul and left the noise Auto-tuned instead Memphis horns are silent now Hammond’s gathering dust Corporate bots anoint the bangers And they’re losing all our trust [Pre-Chorus] Miles in my headphones Muddy in my veins No one soars or swings and it's begun to sound the same [Chorus] CHANGE IT UP OR GET OUT! Sunk in vanilla, plastic sound CHANGE IT UP OR GET OUT! No room to breathe, no air, we drown Give me Etta James on Sunday Or fuzz that shakes my chest But if it's just the same same slop Die like the rest! [Verse 2] We loved Spector’s wall of sound Now it’s just the wall Grid-locked to a click track beat No heart left at all Johnny cut with three chords Straight into the bone Now it’s shallow Nashville perfume Glossed and overblown [Pre-Chorus] Coltrane’s Love Supreme Fugazi's righteous bash Nuance doesn’t monetize So subtlety gets trashed [Chorus] CHANGE IT UP OR GET OUT! Sunk in vanilla, plastic sound CHANGE IT UP OR GET OUT! No room to breathe, no air, we drown Give me Etta James on Sunday Or fuzz that shakes my chest But if it's just the same same slop Die like the rest! [instrumental break] [Bridge] Bring surprise and change That’s where the magic hides (Yeah, change it up) In the breath between the hits In the space where the song decides When to break you, when to lift you When to make your patience pay Not just hooks without an impact Not just noise that fades to gray [Chorus] CHANGE IT UP OR GET OUT! Sunk in vanilla, plastic sound CHANGE IT UP OR GET OUT! No room to breathe, no air, we drown Give me Etta James on Sunday Or fuzz that shakes my chest But if it's just the same same slop DIE LIKE THE REST! [Outro] Spin some Memphis soul in Memphis Delta blues in Tupelo Jazz in New Orleans at midnight Surf in San Diego Play the Ramones in Jersey Chuck Berry in St. Lou You bots can suck on this And that’s the gospel truth [instrumental break] [fade out]
