Compact Disc

Screeching Weasel · Major Label Debut [1997]

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
