The Disappointment Choir - 1971 lyrics

We hate the DAWs and the 808s We hate the leads and the sidechain gates, you know it We hate the filters, the filters, we don’t know what they are But we know we hate them like we hate the ADSR We hate the autotune although we can’t hear it We hate the beat almost as much as we fear it We hate your dancing and we hate your fun We’ll avoid the party like it’s nineteen seventy one We hate the downloads and we hate the streams We think the Fairlight’s when it all came apart at the seams We’ve got twenty paragraphs on digital compression We think records sounded best before the great depression And what you need is a rhythm section Or a beard and some more acoustic introspection The kids today aren’t really having fun I bet they wish they’d woken up in nineteen seventy one And it’s easy to be cool when you’ve set all the rules It’s easy to be cool when you’ve set all the rules It’s easy to be cool when you’ve set all the rules It’s easy to be cool when you’ve set all the rules
