A(pm)

That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc

D(pm)                                A(pm)

It's a method of conveying sound, it's square outside, inside it's round

A(pm)

That thing you're listening to is a digitally accurate

D(pm)                          A(pm)

Reading of the numbers that make up different sounds in fact

It's the most technologically advanced

Sound reproduction known to man

A                                E (w/ slides up from D#)

At least in the commercially viable sense

A(pm)

That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc

D(pm)                   A(pm)

Every subtle nuance of a tune is made available to you

A(pm)

That thing you're listening to is a high-tech dream come true

D(pm)                                   A(pm)

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

E (w/ slides up from D#)

In the profit analysis sense

[Solo]

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

Devoid of any thought or heart 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

E (w/ slides up from D#)

And that's common sense

[ End on A ]

[Solo w/ rhythm guitar chords]
