They took the beat away, replaced it with machines |
|
They took the words away and threw 'em on a screen |
|
They turned the switches on and handed us the phones |
|
They blasted out our ears with endless monotone |
|
Can you feel it, can you feel it |
|
From a million miles away |
|
Can you hear it, can you hear it |
|
Getting louder everyday |
|
Give the music back, give the music back |
|
Give the music back before it's gone |
|
Give the music back, give the music back |
|
Put the music back into the song |
|
They drove the blues away and banished rock n' roll |
|
They cut away the heart and sacrificed the soul |
|
They closed the discos down and shut off |
|
MTV They locked the music up and threw away the key |
|
Can you feel it... |
|
And now a silence fills the rooms where once we sang |
|
And all is quiet where once the chimes of freedom rang |
|
Somewhere a pirate ship is crashing through the waves |
|
Sending a signal out, a ballad to the brave |
|
Give the music back, give the music back |
|
Give the music back before it's gone |
|
Give the music back, give the music back |
