Stiff Little Fingers - Guitar and Drum Lyrics

Well you get you entertainment
Through a corporate plan
Via 5 young athletes in a dancing band
Who are trained to act moronically
And smile on demand
Cos it makes more money for the company man
Well it might make all the young girls hearts beat faster
But it don't amuse this cynical old bas'tard

I believe
I believe in the power of guitar & drum
I believe in the hope held in a song
I believe that the music makes you strong
I believe in the power of guitar & drum

Well theirs are songs about heartbreak
Theirs are songs about love
Theirs are songs about sex sung by an eight year old
And there's no-one making statements
Cos rebellion don't pay
And they'd rather that you bought this
Cos it's safter that way
Well, I can't believe that everyone is happy
With the newest teen sensation carbon copy

I believe
I believe in the power of guitar & drum
I believe in the hope held in a song
I believe that the music makes you strong
I believe in the power of guitar & drum

You gotta eat McFood
Play with Barbie
Drink Coca Cola
Don't do anything that marks you as solo
Only use your brain for playing Nintendo
Consume everything with corporate logos

Go on ahead and make all the fat cats fatter
And for God's sake don't say anything that matters

I believe
I believe in the power of guitar & drum
I believe in the hope held in a song
I believe that the music makes you strong
I believe in the power of guitar & drum
