Techno

I don’t like ‘thrash music,’

and I’m not too keen on Techno.

So heck no, for god sake!

Don’t put on the" Techno"!

 

I don’t like music

pelting at me with that ‘primitive beat,’

With a mindless gut thumping bass you can hear from here

down to the end of the street.

 

And I don’t like listening to music,

at the volume of a Hundred and five decibels.

Hell! I’ve got a bit more culture than that;

Can’t you tell!

 

Don’t need to listen to music played by a computer,

No musicians! No band!

With a repetitive tune repeating over and over, 

That’s incredible, incredible bland.

 

Bomb chick-ky chick-ky, Boom boom.

It’s enough to drive you bloody mad!

And to all those who think that ‘that’s music’

Well! I just think “that’s a little sad.”

 

I suppose when all is said and done,

 I’m just a simple ‘sixties man,’

so give me the Seekers or the Beatles,

and maybe to chill out a bit, some good old ‘Donovan.’

 

Cause I don’t like thrash music,

and I’m none too keen on Techno either.

So heck no! for god sake!

 

Don’t put on the" Techno"!
