Hooters - Give The Music Back lyrics

rate me

They took the beat away, replaced it with machines <br />

They took the words away and threw 'em on a screen <br />

They turned the switches on and handed us the phones <br />

They blasted out our ears with endless monotone <br />

Can you feel it, can you feel it <br />

From a million miles away <br />

Can you hear it, can you hear it <br />

Getting louder everyday <br />

<br />

Give the music back, give the music back <br />

Give the music back before it's gone <br />

Give the music back, give the music back <br />

Put the music back into the song <br />

<br />

They drove the blues away and banished rock n' roll <br />

They cut away the heart and sacrificed the soul <br />

They closed the discos down and shut off MTV <br />

They locked the music up and threw away the key <br />

<br />

Can you feel it... <br />

<br />

And now a silence fills the rooms where once we sang <br />

And all is quiet where once the chimes of freedom rang <br />

Somewhere a pirate ship is crashing through the waves <br />

Sending a signal out, a ballad to the brave <br />

<br />

Give the music back, give the music back <br />

Give the music back before it's gone <br />

Give the music back, give the music back <br />

Put the music back where it belongs...<br />

<br />
