Speaks to the state of music and life in society today, but not too deep :)
Story behind the song
This is take 2 on my first song written and played myself on the guitar. Still workin on the guitar playin and recording, but I think this one is better. I've also rewritten the bridge and added some drum loops just for the moment :)
Other than that, I think the song speaks for itself...I'm tired of superficial music and superficial life.
Lyrics
Does music reflect the times, I ask
Or is it just a mirage or a mask
To hide what we've really got goin' on
It's all about the bling bling, partying, and alcohol
It's just so damn artificial
I'm so tired of the...superficial
We blame our state on politics
As if Washington has anything to do with this
So let me ask you my friends
Do you think it's a reflection of us or them
It's just so damn artificial
I'm so tired of the...superficial
You say you have no control
And go on livin like a drone
Claiming they will go to hell
But you keep buying the lies they sell
Without your money this can't exist
You allow it to persist
When will you take control and say...
It's just so damn artificial
I'm so tired of the...superficial
