He's A Pirate Lyrics
Klaus Badelt
Lyrics
Let's kill the playlist
All the same bands
So repetitious
Denying us the freedom we deserve
Will someone tell my why we even listen
Airwaves are filled with repeition
What ever happened to selection
Tune in and they will waste your time
Is anybody bored yet
They've got you by their strings again tonight
So quick to find that dollar in the sky
Follow new trends
Be sure you get it right
It's the same sounds
And the same songs
Watch the music change before your eyes
We need to see through the disguise
