Guitar And Drum - Stiff Little Fingers

Well you get you entertainment

Through a corporate plan

Via 5 young athletes in a dancing band

Who are trained to act moronically

And smile on demand

Cos it makes more money for the company man

Well it might make all the young girls hearts beat faster

But it don’t amuse this cynical old bas’tard

I believe

I believe in the power of guitar & drum

I believe in the hope held in a song

I believe that the music makes you strong

I believe in the power of guitar & drum

Well theirs are songs about heartbreak

Theirs are songs about love

Theirs are songs about sex sung by an eight year old

And there’s no-one making statements

Cos rebellion don’t pay

And they’d rather that you bought this

Cos it’s safter that way

Well, I can’t believe that everyone is happy

With the newest teen sensation carbon copy

I believe

I believe in the power of guitar & drum

I believe in the hope held in a song

I believe that the music makes you strong

I believe in the power of guitar & drum

You gotta eat McFood

Play with Barbie

Drink Coca Cola

Don’t do anything that marks you as solo

Only use your brain for playing Nintendo

Consume everything with corporate logos

Go on ahead and make all the fat cats fatter

And for God’s sake don’t say anything that matters

I believe

I believe in the power of guitar & drum

I believe in the hope held in a song

I believe that the music makes you strong

I believe in the power of guitar & drum
