I wrote this song about a certain so called Music Network. It is from my CD/Album "Another Roll Of The Dice".
lyrics
PEACE LOVE AND DON'T TRUST MTV
YOU AIN'T NO MUSIC NETWORK BABY - AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
PEACE LOVE AND DON'T TRUST MTV
USED TO BE ABOUT THE MUSIC - NOW IT'S ALL JUST MOCKERY
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE M STANDS FOR? - OH NO
YOU USED TO ROCK BUT NOW YOU SUCK
DON'T YOU TRY TO PASS THE BUCK - OH NO
PEACE LOVE AND DON'T TRUST MTV
THE ANTI MUSIC NETWORK - YOU AIN'T NO FRIEND TO ME
PEACE LOVE AND DON'T TRUST MTV
YOU'VE GOTTEN OLD IT'S TIME TO GO
LIKE THE VCR COMBO TV
I DON'T CARE WHERE ANYONE CRIBS
WHAT THEY BUY OR WEAR IT DON'T MEAN SHIT
I WANT SMOKIN' ROCK'N'ROLL
LOVIN' POP AND GROOVIN' SOUL - OH YEAH
Solo
YOU USED TO ROCK BUT NOW YOU SUCK
DON'T YOU TRY TO PASS THE BUCK - OH NO
I WANT SMOKIN' ROCK'N'ROLL
LOVIN' POP AND GROOVIN' SOUL - OH YEAH
(spoken): Mtv…that was the reason you bought cable….what happened? What does the M stand for? Other networks they have their game shows, their reality shows, but they don't call themselves a music network…think about it!
PEACE LOVE AND DON'T TRUST MTV
IT'S NOT TO LATE FOR YOU TO GROW
REDEMPTION IS JUST DOWN THE ROAD
TRY TO REPRESENT THE NATION
WE'RE ALL ONE MUSIC GENERATION
(spoken) Yeah! We are all one music generation. We are not seperated by any age color or genre
