Boy's Choir This is your basic 101 class We're taking too much music from the past If you agree with me Gather round, clap your hands and lets make history Chorus If I took a page out of Steve's book Rocked a riff like Donnie would Everybody's taking from the past and not the present 1973 is just irrelevant If I bit a style out of Smokey's look Stole some word's from a Chaka hook Everybody's taking from the past and not the present 1981 is just irrelevant Verse Nowadays everybody wants to be a superstar They're trying to be like someone else While forgetting who they are And it's a damn shame Cuz by now you'd think we'd be far From this hypocrisy and ideology Man, I find it so bizarre Pre SongtexteJust like the next kid I had my share of influence From that sweet Babyface to my man Common Whatever happened to the days when we used to say Hey it's Tuesday Time to drop 10 dollars on that brand new release Pop it in, press play and inspire me Where did all the good music go Oh how I miss those days Chorus If I took a page out of Steve's book Rocked a riff like Donnie would Everybody's taking from the past and not the present 1973 is just irrelevant If I bit a style out of Smokey's look Stole some word's from a Chaka hook Everybody's taking from the past and not the present 1981 is just irrelevant Verse Just cuz I'm on stage doesn't mean I wanna be a superstar I'm trying to be my own self while forgetting who they are And it's a damn a shame like Bubonic Plague and SARS They're killing artisty and musicology Man, I thought we'd come far Pre Wasn't raised on soul but I had to get to know Mr Raphael and D'angelo Rember those better days when we used to sing (You're my lady) Oh that used to be my jam back in '96 Nowadays them kids all they want are hits You won't find me in a music store But oh how I miss them days Chorus If I took a page out of Steve's book Rocked a riff like Donnie would Everybody's taking from the past and not the present 1973 is just irrelevant If I bit a style out of Smokey's look Stole some word's from a Chahka hook Everybody's taking from the past and not the present 1981 is just irrelevant Breakdown Ohh woah woah woah woah woah Take me back to the good old days When we used to sing for love and not for show Ohh woah woah woah woah woah Something's wrong with the kinds of songs They play all day long or maybe I'm too critical Chorus If I took a page out of Steve's book Rocked a riff like Donnie would Everybody's taking from the past and not the present 1973 is just irrelevant If I bit a style out of Smokey's look Stole some word's from a Chahka hook Everybody's taking from the past and not the present 1981 is just irrelevant (Thanks to francois for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
