C#B And so it was C#B Our beloved corporate gods F#EF#E Claimed they created rock video C#BC#B Allowing it to sink as low in one year F#EC# As commercial TV has in 25
C#mB "It's the new frontier," they say AG# It's wide open, anything can happen C#m But you've got a lot of nerve B To call yourself a pioneer A When you're too god-damn conservative G# To take real chances.
C#B Tin-eared C#BF# Graph-paper brained accountants EF#E Instead of music fans C#BC#B Call all the shots at giant record companies now F#EC# The lowest common denominator rules
C#m Forget honesty B Forget creativity A The dumbest buy the mostest G# That's the name of the game
C#m But sales are slumping B And no one will say why AG# Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?
