Modern Music Blues

# Modern Music Blues **Verse 1:** Turn on the radio, what do I hear? The same four chords that were playing last year Auto-tuned voices that sound like machines Songs about nothing that don't mean a thing **Chorus:** Oh, modern music blues Got me paying my dues For songs that all sound the same With lyrics I can't explain Modern music blues I just can't enthuse About beats from a laptop That never seem to stop **Verse 2:** Remember when singers would actually sing? And write their own lyrics about meaningful things? Now it's all algorithms deciding what's hot And songs manufactured right there on the spot **(Repeat Chorus)** **Bridge:** They say I'm just getting old That's what I've been told But I swear that music had soul Before it was bought and sold **Verse 3:** The volume is louder, the drops are more deep But the melodies vanished while we were asleep Now it's just mumbling over a beat And calling it art, well ain't that sweet? **(Repeat Chorus)** **Outro:** Oh these modern music blues Got me longing for tunes That didn't need a computer To make them sound super-duper Modern music blues I've got nothing to lose 'Cause I'll just put on my headphones And listen to the classics alone
