I'm so glad you could make it Grateful you could tune in tonight We're all here for the announcement Ladies and Gentleman... I am... ... Still shocked Still reeling Like a long lost relative walked right through the door You're happy... Til he reveals it's his final tour before his curtain drop And for a moment, your heart.... stops... Woah a gut punched pain you never felt before He lived a good long life, of course Left strong roots in all of us A treasure full of history's being left behind That ancient drive to move, express and sing Am i right? Dear friends and family! Grief and pain fills me right here on the stage! With what i have to say! We have a new victim of the serial killer! Music got murdered! Oooh oh oh music's dead! Our good old friend music passed away! He killed truth and the Human Touch! He killed the last bit of responsibility! And just before he came for Music... He killed creativity!!! Lots of folks tried to end him Mmhmm that's true But somehow he survived 'em all Last hundread years though They were really after his fall Free airplay on the radio just cheapened the sound The devil made his first attempt When jazz and rock came around Disco and synth's for sure started the decline MTV hit hard, gave music some scars Never recovered, but always said he's fine All real feelings were gone with Synth-pop Just brainless people waiting for a beat to drop Music was angry! Samples were just lazy and theft Rap wasn't music, but music was bitter as they came at him with music out of a box Come on guys, computer's are no instrument! Computer's got no soul And you wonder where the spirit went! New age, good vocals were against the law Just auto-tune and go, it fixed every flaw Manufactured perfection Perfected deception But thank god we got rid of piracy cause streaming fixed it No more artists stuck in poverty Am i right? Dear friends and family! Grief and pain fills me right here on the stage! With what i have to say! We have a new victim of the serial killer! Music got murdered! Oooh oh oh music's dead! Our good old friend music passed away! He killed truth and the Human Touch! He killed the last bit of responsibility! And just before he came for Music... He killed creativity!!! But the serial killer finally did... What the others could not He could do it all Right there on the spot Make a whole damn song and perform Mhmm just a push of a button And music was gone Am i right? Dear friends and family! Everything's fine! Don't lose hope here on the stage! It's too early for a mayday! There's no victim, there is no serial killer! Music's not murdered! ooooh oh oh, music's doing fine! Come on look back! They said music's dead every single time! When you hear a song for the first time... Do you like it because a certain artist made it? Or because it touches your soul? Makes you feel good? Think about it... Think...
