I can’t sleep
Dry red eyes wide open
Starin’ at the white stucco ceiling
Turn on the TV
Watch music on television
Have I heard this song before, did this already happen?
Derived influence
In style of dress
Similar trends in camera technique and editing
Sync up the cuts (sync up the cuts)
To the bass drum kick (to the bass drum kick)
All the taste-makers drinking from the same glass
Is there anybody thinking what I am?
Is there anybody thinking what I am?
Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?
And all the insiders rumor
About a decline in sales
All the buzz is happening in the new digital market place
FBI warning
Printed on the flip side
Under penalty of law piracy will be prosecuted
And in MRR (and in MRR)
Someone asks the question (someone asks the question)
With the instant availability of information
And content so easily obtainable
Is the culture now a product that’s disposable?
Are the punks still singing the same song?
Is there anybody thinking what I am?
Is there any other alternative at all?
Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me
Like me?
