titus andronicus - just like ringing a bell lyrics

[verse 1]
they’re taking an old religion
fitting it with a different name
now we’re cutting our own incisions
and inserting their hurting pain
there’s another innocent victim
shivering in the frigid cold
they’re making a dirty fortune selling something that’s barely working
an inferior version of rock and roll
or whatever else ever has touched your soul
call it what you will, there’s a billion of them they sold
they’re taking credit that they’re not earning
any good thing they ever sold they stole
oh yeah

[verse 2]
they’re making a television different than the old one was
a limited deluxe edition, it’s a superior version of
the previous week’s installment, but ain’t it all the same? (pretty much)
yet i comfort myself at night with transmission by satellite
it’s like a good enough facsimile of real love
i guess i got a habit same as everyone else does
we’re all banging down doors, trying to grab that stuff
but we never should have left it up to the judge
that p-ssed the bill that illegalized us
they illegalized us

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
the inferior version (ooh-ooh)
it isn’t really rock and roll (ooh yeah)
it’s but a shallow imitation (ooh-ooh)
it doesn’t really get ya goin’ (ooh yeah)
and there ain’t no good explanation (ooh-ooh)
why it’s flying off the shelves (ooh yeah)
it’s a sorry situation (ooh-ooh)
entire world’s going to h-ll (ooh yeah)
but i in no way blame myself
though i helped those b-st-rds to sell that inferior version we love so well
an inferior version of rock and roll
an inferior version of rock and roll
they’re making a dirty fortune off an inferior version of rock and roll
whoa, yeah
