Hall & Oates - Serious Music lyrics

(words by john oates Music by john oates, george bizet) To play to get rich And die baroque is wrong If you write a song for god Will he sing along While rows of robot symphonies read on Is that the way you wanted it played Man*scripted memories Sound with no electricity Concentration line on the face of serious music Man*scripted memories Sound but no electricity Concentration lines on the face of serious music You brought a bit of jazz to the concert hall But you won't hear violins at the darkies' ball Your rhapsody in blue will outlive us all I wish i was there the night you played it Man*scripted memories Sound with no electricity Concentration line on the face of serious music Man*scripted memories Sound but no electricity Concentration lines on the face of serious music
