In With the Old out With the New

about

I wrote this about the absurdity of our current music world where it seems the most popular downloads and performances are by artists over 50 years old!

lyrics

If you are a singer or a songwriter lusting for radio time
You may want to keep your current employment
Your dream a sideline
It seems all the people want to hear is music
From three to five decades past
Concert halls feature grey haired rockers
Look who's laughing last

In with the old out with the new
You're just trying to break on through
Nobody cares what you do

Thousands of people making new music
No one will ever hear
Even former stars can't play new material
They are driven by fear
All the loyal fans want to hear is oldies
Play them note for note
They don't want to hear what you're up to lately
Or the new song you wrote

In with the old out with the new
You're just trying to break on through
Nobody cares what you do

There you are in your cozy little bedroom
Toiling in obscurity
Wouldn't it be nice to have some compensation
Just a little royalty
Magical sounds are flowing from your fingertips
Genius is another word
Speaking of words you're the best lyricist
No one has ever heard

In with the old out with the new
You're just trying to break on through
Nobody cares what you do
