Record Store Blues

Most of my friends don't seem to care for music anymore
They get it for their phone, or make their own
A laptop, some plug-ins and you get your self a song
Make the music that you want to hear

I can remember the feeling of going to the record store
Most of my friends don't buy albums anymore

They're too expensive and really what for?
They download for nothing dozens in one go
Never have the time to listen to the music
To the music that they want to hear

And people don't seem to have patience for music anymore
There's too much choice and you need time to appreciate a good record
Free podcasts, playlists, and audio streams
Drowning in the music that you'd like to hear

I can remember the feeling of going to the record store
My generation barely goes there anymore

Anyone these days releases his own album
Might as well have fun – leave out the polished sound
Why care if people like it, just make the music
Make the music that you want to hear
