The Forbidden Beat Songtext
von Double Negative

The tedium is creeping in cause the bands I love got slower
All the music I once listened to has lost its feet, they swapped
Hair-raising drums and zen guitars for punk bullshit
The thoughtful words replaced by fucking politics

I know it is, I′ve been left behind
I have forgotten how to hear the music of these days
Back when I was young
The forbidden beat was played with pride

The anti-authority voices drowned out
By a noxious wave of self-censorship
Now I've got old it all seems so pointless to me
I′m just gonna sit back and watch some more Harry


I know it is, I've been left behind
I have forgotten how to hear the music of these days
Back when I was young
The forbidden beat was played with pride

Your new album should come with a disclaimer
A frank apology, it reads
"We used to play fast punk rock but now we're just cashing out
We can′t be fucked at all"

I know it is, I′ve been left behind
I have forgotten how to hear the music of these days
Back when I was young
The forbidden beat was played with pride

Gold cooling mask, creepy shit, fuck you
Fuck your bands, fuck drums suck
Black blood scum, tiny slum, fucking bands
