Story behind the song

Online collaboration produced at F-Jam Studios

Lyrics

Something's very wrong
They aired another factory song
But if you walk down the block
Around Friday night
You'll hear some local kids playing
And they're sounding tight
They're the best thing that's happened in years
But they're never gonna reach your ears
You see the FCC cut the harness free
To airspace ownership per company

I used to watch MTV
Back when it represented me
But when money and sex
And music politics
Take away future hits
From great songwriters dismissed
Art and talent hit the pavement
Sorry, that's entertainment
So get in on the cliques
Yeah get in on the cliques
And reading up on the tricks
Of the Telecommunications Act of 1996

Jenny was just 5 years old
When Cobain and Corgan took control
Of the youth and the truth
And the beauty of pain
And rock and roll music was back again
Jenny turned 18 this fall
And there was nothing going down at all
Since the rock and roll stations
Went on permanent vacations
Music idol creation's
Done by corporations

Every station back home
Has been replaced by a clone
Named either "Edge" or "Zone"
As if it was homegrown
Now kids don't usually shrug
But this time they've been drugged
By orchestrated prescription
To prevent their conniption
When they finally know
It's someone else's show
Just a quick little fix
From the Telecommunications Act of 1996

And I want my heroes back
As the newsfeed writers-turned-biters
Watch their ratings stack
They say "I just can't afford to fail-
I'll try to save myself
Once I've finished eating up my tail"
So let the cars derail
We'll rip the tracks up for sale
And send our fans to jail
While they provide us with bail
How come you're looking so pale?
I said the checks in the mail
How come you're looking so pale?
I swear the checks in the mail

I used to watch MTV
Back when it represented me
But when money and sex
And music politics
Take away future hits
From great songwriters dismissed
Art and talent hit the pavement
"Sorry, that's entertainment"
So get in on the cliques
Yeah get in on the cliques
And reading up on the tricks
Of the lethal lie
We won't stand by
'Cause now we know
Not to take the blow
The FCC inflicts
With the Telecommunications Act of 1996
