Yanking On The Chain ©

Instrumental intro

1...2...3... Go!

Verse

Look at you pretending you've got it under control

But are you prepared for what it costs?

Is all the glitz and pretence worth the price of your soul?

Do you even realise how much you've lost?

Look at you grinning,

telling everyone you're winning.

When it stops spinning,

will you finally pay the price for all the sinning?

Chorus

One more time, yanking on the chain

Cos those folks, they will do anything for fame

Churning out another banger " it's a hit!"

But they sold out and here's the honest bit

It all sounds like the same generic shit!

Verse

What the hell happened here? Cos it's not rock and roll

Do these kids even know what that is?

Maybe now the cost of selling out has taken its toll.

This modern junk ain't gonna bring me bliss

Where did it all go wrong?

Or was it like this all along?

I just want to hear a decent song

With a melody that we can play along

Chorus

But one more time, they're yanking on the chain

Cos those folks, they will do anything for fame

Churning out another banger, " It's a hit"

They've all sold out and here's the honest bit

It all sounds like the same generic shit

Guitar solo

Bridge

Remember when the radio used to play a catchy tune?

Cos nowadays I wonder what the hell they are doing!

Verse

I just wish that they could bring back the good ol' rock and roll

Not whatever this electronic stuff is

Is the cost of likes and followers, really worth it all?

Is it really so hard to understand this?

Do you still call this winning?

The halo slipped but still you'll keep on clinging

Is this really all your bringing?

It's been the same old nonsense from the beginning

Chorus

One more time, still yanking the chain

Cos those folks they will do anything for fame

Churning out another banger " it's a hit"

They've sold out and here's the honest bit

It all sounds like the same generic shit!

One more time, just yanking the chain

All you folks just doing anything for fame

Churning out another banger 'Its a hit "

You sold out and here's the honest bit

It still sounds like the same generic shit!
