The Vinyl Countdown

(альбом: The Bird And The Bee Sides - 2008)

So to the best, to the best of our knowledge
We are doing our best to Fight technology
'Cause back when our parents were in college
We weren't even born and neither were CDs

'Cause when our folks listened to their rock and roll
They'd gather 'round and play it on the turntables
But these days their records are all worthless
'Cause DJs scratch the records on purpose

So let's put this in a perspective
In the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
No one knows what vinyl is

'Cause they just burn the MP3s
Onto their stacks of blank CDs
And during all that arsony
The records stay right in their sleeves

It's all the same with all the kids
'Cause no one knows what vinyl is

'Cause these days the kids: they are so ignorant
They have no clue what to do with a seven inch
They say, "It won't play. It's my CD player's fault.
I'll take it to the park and play some Frisbee golf.

So give me side A, give me side B
It really doesn't make any difference to me
I tried to burn it like the all the CDs that I get
But what the heck is all this melted plastic mess."

So let's put this in a perspective
In the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
No one knows what vinyl is

These days they burn the MP3s
Onto their stacks of blank CDs
And during all that arsony
The records stay right in their sleeves

It's all the same with all the kids
'Cause no one knows what vinyl is

So let's put this in a perspective
In the present day in which we live
It's all the same with all the kids
No one knows what vinyl is
