lyrics
A long long time ago we all used to sing.
Then we decided most should listen
while a few of us do our thing.
It strengthened our communities.
But there’s an inclination
to compilation,
and DIYs a bit old fashioned.
CHORUS:
Give me bits of entertainment,
so I can hoard 'em.
I just need someone to make it
to cure the boredom.
Cause I’d never do it right,
and the truth is I
couldn’t soothe my pride
if I failed.
So why even try?
A long long time ago we all used to talk.
Now there’s a class of people
having conversations
while the rest of us take a walk.
Waiting around for another chat to drop
But, is there a danger,
adoring strangers
when DIY a bit old fashioned?
CHORUS
We used to laugh.
We used to cry.
Now we pay actors to dramatize.
We used to paint.
We used to write.
Now we’ll leave it to the AI.
We used to fuck.
We used to fight.
Now sports and pornos pass the time.
We used to live.
We used to die,
but DIY’s a bit old fashioned.
CHORUS
