Wikipedia '68

lyrics

Just say what u mean man
Don’t ask me why your duplicate sounds a bit chaste
An erasable marking,
gracelessly gracing our selective social slate
Antithetical to an aesthetic worldview
which solely serves to subdue and suppurate

Coax the coalitions that fuel the flame
Beat a battered horse to death on stage
And get a rave review the next day

Because “I think I know that sound
you’d swear you’ve heard that sound
Somewhere before
We wanna hear it some more”

But why ply evanescent ideals
that favor flavors over feels?
Lord knows phonies appeal to lemmings so
Is it strange to remain the same when (O!)

Every white-boy pop group with a van
Tries their best to cover Steely Dan
Doesn’t go over/cover well and so they say:
“I swear we were born in the wrong decade”

Why in this century
Would you search for re-entry
Into some early world?

So better forge your path or else fall prey
To the curse of wiki ‘68
All the psych acts switched and ditched their phases
In favor of lasers and low bit rates

I’m amazed that in 5 decades nothing has really changed
Oh well, except for the names
