I can�t sleep
Dry red eyes wide open
Stare at the white stucco ceiling
Turn on the TV
Watch music on television

Have I heard this song before? Did this already happen?
Derived influence, in style of dress
Similar trends in camera technique and editing
Sync up the cuts (sync up the cuts)
To the bass drum kick (to the bass drum kick)
All the taste makers drinking from the same glass
Is there anybody thinking what I am?
Is there anybody thinking what I am?

Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?

And all the insiders rumor over the decline in sales
All the buzz is happening in the new digital market place
FBI warning printed on the flip-side
"Under penalty of law piracy will be prosecuted"
In the MRR (in the MRR)
Someone asks the question, (someone asks the question)
�With the instant availability of information

And content so easily obtainable
Is the culture now a product that�s disposable?�
All the punks still singing the same song
Is there anybody thinking what I am?
Is there any other alternative? You know-

Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?
Are you restless like me?

    they're not saying they are sick of music. They all have family's and as much as it might contradict what they used to believe, they have to make money, and so they aren't saying they hate the music industry, they're saying they hate what you have to do to make money in the music industry, like being put on MTV along with all the money loving rappers and having managers and record labels that don't know the first fucking thing about what music really means to some people, to them it's just a money making system, they don't know, nor do they care, about most musics real meaning. that's just my opinion anyway
