Compact Disc Songtext

von Screeching Weasel

That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc
It's method of conveying sound
It's square outside
Inside it's round
That thing you're listening to is a digitally accurate
Reading of the numbers that
Make up different sounds In fact
It's the most technologically advanced
Sound reproduction known to man
At least in the commercially viable sense
That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc
Every subtle nuance of a time
Is made available to you
That thing you're listening to is a high tech dream come true
Technically it works with laser beams
Yet you can learn to use it easily
Throw your scratched, dusty records in the trash
It's time to move out of the past
In the profit analysis sense
That thing you're listening to is called a waste of time
An inferior and overpriced
Product of an underactive mind
That thing you're listening to is a multi-flawed industry scam
Dewvoid of any thought or heat at all
It's the antithesis of rock and roll
But no one cares that a record sounds better
Cause you just can't buy them so it just doesn't matter at all
And that's common sense
