----------------------------------------------
When I was growing up and I came home from school
I could turn on my radio and listen to
Some music, sing along, and not break all the rules
But when I turn it on today, all I can hear
Is drink this, hump that, and feel on some lady's rear
Music so bad, I feel blood running out my ears

All sounds the same now
Who is to blame now

Internet Killed The Radio Star
Internet Killed The Radio Star
I'll take my Jazz, you keep your fluff...

Back in the 90s, all the artists were unique
Now all I see are clones with plastic booty cheeks
And now we're stuck with no paddle up dookie's creek

I cannot take it
We need to break it

Internet Killed The Radio Star
Internet Killed The Radio Star
I'll take my Blues, you keep your fluff...
I call time out, I've had enough

Spare me the trouble
I'm seeing in doubles

Joe wanna be like Bob
Bob got it goin' on with no job
And everything Rob got he got from Robin
And everything she got she got ho-hoppin'
My girl Jilly wanna be like Jackie
Fat rope chains and I think that's wick-wacky
Tom and Dick wanna be like Harry
Little do they know he's bitin' on Barry
Stan was a scam, but Vinnie's legit
Mercedes coupe hometroop with no kit
A businessman with a beeper for a reason
Not like Tim because it's in this season

Internet Killed The Radio Star
Internet Killed The Radio Star
The advance of technolody
has broadened opportunity
Now everyone has a chance today
But radio went the wrong way...

You know life is all about expression
You only live once, and you're not coming back
So express yourself, yeah
Express yourself, you gotta be you and only you babe
Express yourself, and let me be me

Internet Killed The Radio Star
Internet Killed The Radio Star
I'll take my Jazz, you keep your fluff
I call time out, I've had enough

All sounds the same now
Who is to blame now
I cannot take it
We need to break it...
