lyrics

This is a protest song
Against songs
There are too many now
And more coming all the time

This is a protest song
Against songs
Too many to be heard
Too little fame to share around

This is a protest song
Against those
Who keep adding to the pile
Of music no one needs to hear

This is a protest song
Against words
Having said all possible things
Should now keep to themselves
This is a protest song
Against itself
Against ego and conceit
To believe that I’m immune

This is a protest song
To change minds
To stop people writing songs
Help to cease this pointless work

This is a protest song
The last song
The last time we must
Endure these stale thoughts

This is a protest song
No one will hear
That could have changed the world
But failed like all the rest
