We Are As Sheep

Lyrics: Tony Avila
Music: Tony Avila & Dan Van Kuren

What does the music business have to do with music?
All that matters to them are the numbers on the chart
They brainwash us by overexposing their product
Until it becomes a household name

We are as sheep/ you have pulled the wool over our eyes
We are as sheep/ you think you control our minds
We are as sheep/ give us the lowest quality we will accept
We are as sheep/ don’t give us a choice at all

Those in control set the standards and have the final say
They control what is presented before the masses
Profitability supersedes quality in a money-based market
The essence of art is lost when it’s created for profit

We are as sheep/ you have pulled the wool over our eyes
We are as sheep/ you think you control our minds
We are as sheep/ give us the lowest quality we will accept
We are as sheep/ don’t give us a choice at all

We are as sheep/ mind control so subtle

We are as sheep/ sour taste spreads
Fuck you and the system they control
Fuck you for being a pawn
Fuck you for not giving anyone a chance
That doesn’t have financial backing

Record labels are the pimps
and radio stations are the whores

Profits increase
Quality decrease
True music bleeds
Tell us what we want
Tell us what we need
