yeah yeah yeah

just a moment then a kiss

infatuation like this

the last minute empty ride

come hither-gutter-smile

this pen is clumsy in my hand

but girl i knew you'd understand

 

the enemy is the tv

it's what you don't see

that's killing me

the apathetic  post genetic

little sneer, wax poetic.

you got the world on their ear.

an open mouth & no one cares.

 

if i had my way.

i'd put music back on the radio.

if i had my say.

i wouldn't say much at all..

if i had my way

i'd put music back on mtv

if i had my say

all you'd see is an empty screen

 

just a moment you might miss.

imitation as rhymes mix.

like the godly man, with Word in hand,

who doesn't get the master plan.

throws it for a one night stand,

and flies away like peter pan.

the checkbook, and the schoolgirl.

the seamstress and the vicar.

this mix and match, such a catch

hate to dash but i'm outta cash.

babe i'm sure you understand

love was never part of the plan.

 

if i had my way.

i'd put music back on the radio.

if i had my say.

i wouldn't say much at all..

if i had my way

i'd put music back on mtv

if i had my say

​

all you'd see is an empty screen

 

(i love rock and roll)

 

you got your "yes" man

you got your "no" man.

your how when and where and then your why men.

you got your "loved it!"

and your "excellent!"

and your "stunning perfect absolutely give it all away man!"

 

well since you've had your way.

there ain't no music left on the radio.

and ever since you’ve had your say,

you haven't said much at all...

repeat chorus....

 

words music robb
