Review

In a long gone day,
When your money was paid,
The thing you bought was built to last
They used hard wood and steel,
With a strength you could feel,
But now those days have long since passed.
Now in the cheapest way,
From a land far away,

It’s all a rip off,
It’s all a ripped up hand me down,
It’s all a rip off,
Every store and,
Every deal in,
Every town.
When you heard a tune,
You thought you knew,
The one you heard was true and good,
But if it’s had to be changed,
In some kinda way,
Were the tune or player any good?

With a big bag of coke,
And a program that’s dope,
It’s all a rip off!!!

It’s all edited, prgrammed from hell,
It’s all a rip off,
Every note in,
Everything their playing now.

Anybody can make some kind of mistake,
Who or what looks good in the end?
You do what you can with what you have,
As long as you have the strength to stand.

Why’d it work out that way?
Couldn’t help it some way,

It’s all a rip off,
Nobody helped and nothing changed,
It’s all a rip off,
Could there have been,
Better stories, better names?

So the art we get,
Was it real and good?
Did it really deserve all of our love?
Did the hands that made it care enough,
To make it right and was it tough?
Medocre’s great and computer made,
It’s all a rip off!
The fake that knew someone got paid,
It’s all a rip off,
And quality faded away,
It’s all a rip off,
We all got cheated by the way,
It’s all a rip off,
That's the only thing the legacy will say.
