Up the Cuts

I can't sleep, dry red eyes wide open
Stare at the white stucco ceiling
Turn on the TV, watch music on television
Have I heard this song before, did this already happen?

Derived influence, in style of dress
Similar trends in camera technique and editing
Sync up the cuts to the bass drum kick
All the taste makers drinking from the same glass

Is there anybody thinking what I am?
Is there anybody thinking what I am?

Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?

And all the insiders rumor over the decline in sales
All the buzz is happening in the new digital marketplace
FBI warning printed on the flip-side
"Under penalty of law, piracy will be prosecuted"

And in MRR, someone asks the question
With the instant availability of information
And content so easily obtainable
Is the culture now a product that's disposable?

All the punks still singing the same song
Is there anybody thinking what I am?
Is there any other alternative you know?

Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?
