Day The Music Died - MD.45

Maybe you might have heard

But no one spoke a word

The day the planet cried

The day the music died

Each day another dream

Killed by the music scene

All access was denied

The day the music died

We paid for everything

But back not a single thing

Our talents were all sucked dry

The day the music died

We saw it on T.V.

In all the magazines

We thought the news had lied

The day the music died

This is make believe

This is not for real

This won’t last forever

This won’t last at all

Eliminate the scene

It’s illegal now to sing

Outlaws ask the reasons why

The day the music died

Now imprisoned for my craft

I smile and have to laugh

In my head the music’s still alive

The day the music died

As all our hopes were dashed

Seems that all our throats were slashed

How could all our songs survive

The day the music died

Greedy fat bureaucrats

Care only for sales and stats

Woke up with dollar signs in their eyes

The day the music died
