Tonalidad: Bb minor
Verse 1
Am
Today on the West,
of the many crises we face,
critical is the nature
of the culture industry's
monopolistic control over
our expressive domain.
The interests that control the state
have effectively neutralized any
mode of public expression
that in the past we have
found empowering.
G
Am
Along this course,
the nature of music itself
has become twisted, altered, distorted,
to suit the needs of capital.
If we want music to contain
any positive relevance to us again,
we must take it back,
until then, it ain't jack, hit it,
that music has no meaning.
That music has no value.
That music has no power.
Minus none, zero.
Our taste has become so
standardized and regulated
that we no longer make any
choices for ourselves.
The culture industry does
all this for us.
We've become a nation
of blindly accepting consumers,
latching on to meaningless terms
like alternative, progressive, industrial,
techno, rap, house.
We're promised liberation,
but all we get is empty distraction.
In our society,
music is just a measure of
forced consumption
Until we change the social conditions
under which music is made
That music has no meaning
That music has no value
That music has no power

What can we do about it?
In the 90s, as big business and
big governments
realized that they needn't
demonstrate any longer
the intimidation and violent suppression
of past authoritarian states,
they proved conclusively
G
Am
that friendly fascism
clearly exists in this society.
G
Am
And the rulers of corporate America
have manufactured within its own people
an addiction to pop culture
So strong, it renders us
incapable of any action
As individual or collected citizens
And the real tragedy
is that we have no problem with this
G
Am
Every fascist era has its giant spectacle
To keep the people pacified
With us, it's just the MTV
Video Music Awards
and the Grammys
G
Am
As long as we're willing to go on
Just passively marching and singing
Then we know
That music has no meaning
That music has no value
That music has no power
Minus one, zero
This music has no meaning
This music has no value
Zero, bow, and this music has the power,
power, zero, zero.
G
Am
The images our artists create
gain significance
only when they're bought and sold.
One of the beauties of having your
own MTV show
is they give you this opportunity
to play your own videos all the time.
G
Their validity is almost al ways dependent upon
Am
their ability to be transformed into merchandise.
And the nominees for
the Album of the Year
are MTV,
G
while pioneering rock videos
Am
as total programming,
also pioneered the selling
of commercial time
on a channel that is all commercial.
The advertisement is the entertainment.
I think without music and
without rock and roll,
G
the world would be in some
Am
serious trouble.
You have people
whose main motivation
is to make money.
Americans are now
a permanent audience
waiting to be amused.
You have people
whose main motivation
is to make money.
Creative expression
serves a commercial goal.
But now I'm proud to present the award
for the MVP male vocalist.
stakes are our sense of
meaning and language.
G
Am
The stakes are our sense of
meaning and language.
You have people
whose main motivation
is to make money,
shaping the public mind
and powerful tools of fiction
that both breed and deceive.
I'm rock made easy.
I'm rock made easy.
