Poster Children - The Old School And The New lyrics

Demographic target test Gonna find out which parts work the best Build each song brick by brick Until all of the pieces start to fit Computer generated scenes In glossy lifestyle magazines Furniture for the mind Has become the perfect waste of time Throw out the fashion fascists Destroy the old school and the new Ignore the luminaries Remove the skeletons and glue Brian Wilson in every bedroom Sgt. Pepper in every garage Isn't one of each enough I want someone to prove me wrong Here comes another Dylan Here comes a guy who whines and rhymes Beating on a hip hop corpse Stone dead since 1985 It's time to bury heroes The word "genius" is a lie Don't let yourself look backwards The past is not the place to die Look at all these bu*ton pushers Are they accountants or a band? Just because no one's singing Doesn't mean that you are playing jazz What can you say in twenty minutes That can't be said in under three We should be burning records Instead of burning more CDs Throw out the fashion fascists Destroy the old school and the new Ignore the luminaries Remove the skeletons and glue It's time to bury heroes The word "genius" is a lie Don't let yourself look backwards The past is not the place to die
