Verse 1: I heard a country song today While I was passing on my way A modern song of much acclaim or so they say It seemed that every single word Was either worthless or absurd I couldn’t get away so this is what I heard
Verse 2: An over processed, synthesized, Auto tune vocal cliché line A sound so horrible I couldn’t turn away With lines like ‘this is how we roll’ And ‘shooting bullets at the moon’ If old Hank Williams heard he’d roll right in his grave Chorus They sing about trucks And girls in tight fitting jeans They’re patriotic and psychotic all the same They go to church and learn to pray And vote against you if you’re gay They think the best in life is fizzy yellow beer
Solo
Verse 3: The Country Music Hall of Fame Should be embarrassed it’s a shame To hear what passes for a country song today The singers fake a country twang Put on a cowboy hat and sang With help from Pro Tools They can be the next big thang
Verse 4: The kids who grow up with this mess Will think it’s new and it’s the best But they will never hear a real country song It will continue to devolve and mutate further ‘till at last It sounds just like an 80’s music acid trip
