They call it the ‘Music Industry’
instead of musical artistry
implying some production control
over the offerings of your soul.
The problem with the corporate creed-
all it does is promote blind greed,
advancing lame worn out clichés
ignoring those whose stars should blaze.

Adverse to truly taking risks
in order to sell a million discs
robots are programmed to create
the mindless tripe they propagate.
Marketed under the fallacy
of prepackaged personality
these moguls threaten to ostracize
those they cannot hypnotize.

Enough of being fed by spoon
I think it’s time to change the tune!
