Lofty Is One of My Favorite Words

All the cool words have been taken
The cool rhythms have been made and
Neat ideas have all been touched on
There's nothing new to introduce through song
It's all been done it's all been heard
As I say lofty's one of my favorite words
It's nothing new just another redundant tune
If it were up to you would you repeat it too

The results are usually the same
A trivial amount of talent is all you need
Creativity well that's subjective
Passion turns to arrogance and greed
You look alike and you sound alike
The results are usually the same

Idiots crowd the streets
Acknowledging familiar beats
In the background with a beer
I wonder why I am here
A lame attempt to fit in
Nodding my head faking a grin
To pretend I'm not lofty
Give in to the parody

Songs are like tightly budgeted meals
Nobody's doing anything new or even real
Structures remain hermetically in tact
Yet spontaneity has gotten old goes way back
It's all been done it's all been heard
As I say lofty's one of my favorite words
It makes no sense why anyone would care
If off the wall's cliche no longer even rare

The results are usually the same
A trivial amount of talent is all you need
Creativity well that's subjective
Passion turns to arrogance and greed
You look alike and you sound alike
The results are usually the same

The best fruit has all been sold all that's left is rotten
There is something wrong with the way things have gotten
Suburban daydreams in daily routine they repeat
Naturally I cheat with a poorly composed synthetic beat
My retreat is in the same direction as the sun
Magnetically subsided to work I am numb

The results are usually the same
A trivial amount of talent is all you need
Creativity well that's subjective
Passion turns to arrogance and greed
You look alike and you sound alike
The results are usually the same

Concepts worth conceiving have all been conceived
Beliefs worth believing are all make believe
Oxymorons have been conveyed every which way
There's nothing left here for me to play
It's all been done it's all been heard
As I say lofty's one of my favorite words
Perhaps it will inspire more to change direction
And like the greats push for a new creation
