Internet Killed The Video Star

The kids are disco-dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

I try to tell them, "Hey, that drum machine ain't got no soul"

But they don't want to listen, no

They think they've heard it all

They trade those guitars in for drum machines and disco balls

We can't rewind now; we've gone too far

Internet killed the video star

The kids are disco-dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

The kids are disco-dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

You know we never listen; we think we've seen it all

Like everything we're doing, no one's ever done before

Did you hear what they said?

That rock and roll is dead?

Yeah, it's like a zombie: it will dig itself back up again

Tune in the signal but it's fading

Some ghost strumming his guitar on the radio

Singing, "Oh, the glory days are gone

But everything's okay, 'cause we still love our sex and drugs

Just like the good ol' days"

The kids are disco-dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

The kids are disco-dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

Well, I'm a horrible dancer; I ain't gonna lie

But I'll be damned if that means that I ain't gonna try

Yeah, I'm a shitty romancer, baby; I ain't gonna lie

But I'll be damned if that means that I ain't gonna try

Get up, get up, get up, and dance

Get up, get up, get up, and dance

The kids are disco-dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

The kids are disco-dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

They're tired of rock and roll

They're tired of rock and roll

We can't rewind now; we've gone too far, oh
