Peter Johnson – Like A Child's Mind lyrics

You call that music, industry dictates,
Followed, reminds me of a school of fish.
Swayed by ignorance, bought popularity,
Deep down its weak personality.
And you play like a simple mind, devoid of all imagination.
And your style is so child like, a negative sensation.

So big the industry, music, music,
Contracts, conformity, so quick, so quick.
But if you ever step out of line,
Shot down at the point of a revolutionary sign.
And these sounds are too common, for the ear,
So comfortable they never change, that’s a fear.

Yes, here today, songs fade away,
Music like a child’s mind.
They follow it, don’t remember it,
Industry and the child buys.
Where does music lie, ears or wallet side?
All destroyed by consumer taste.
Make a video, turn the sound down low,
Music like a child’s mind.
Music like a child’s mind.
Music like a child’s mind.
Music like a child’s mind.

So out of step, to music you call it,
Pressure and gimmicks, so simple the hit.
Trendy passing phases, meaningless games,
Music from a vendor; the same, the same.
And the peers won’t try to rebel against each other.
And unconscious worship will be their measure.

You talk about the classic musicians,
In their era, original, precision.
So much for history; you never knew them,
He said they’re classic, so you say so too.
And today it is finely tuned, a total re-mix,
And remnants remain the tools to fix.

Yes, here today, songs fade away,
Music like a child’s mind.
They follow it, don’t remember it,
Industry and the child buys.
Where does music lie, ears or wallet side?
All destroyed by consumer taste.
Make a video, turn the sound down low,
Music like a child’s mind.
Music like a child’s mind.
Music like a child’s mind.
Music like a child’s mind.
