["Compact Disc"]
(pm)
That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc
(pm) (pm)
It's a method of conveying sound, it's square outside, inside it's round
(pm)
That thing you're listening to is a digitally accurate
(pm) (pm)
Reading of the numbers that make up different sounds in fact
It's the most technologically advanced
Sound reproduction known to man
A E (w/ slides up from D#)
At least in the commercially viable sense
(pm)
That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc
(pm) (pm)
Every subtle nuance of a tune is made available to you
(pm)
That thing you're listening to is a high-tech dream come true
(pm) (pm)
Technically it works with laser beams yet you can learn to use it easily
Throw your scratched, dusty records in the trash
It's time to move out of the past
E (w/ slides up from D#)
In the profit analysis sense
[Solo]
That thing you're listening to is called a waste of time
An inferior and overpriced product of an underactive mind
That thing you're listening to is a multi-flawed industry scam
Devoid of any thought or heart at all
It's the antithesis of rock and roll
But no one cares that a record sounds better
Cause you just can't buy them so it just doesn't matter at all
E (w/ slides up from D#)
And that's common sense
[ End on A ]
