That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc
D(pm) A(pm)
It's a method of conveying sound, it's square outside, inside it's round
A(pm)
That thing you're listening to is a digitally accurate
D(pm) A(pm)
Reading of the numbers that make up different sounds in fact
E
It's the most technologically advanced
F# D
Sound reproduction known to man
A E (w/ slides up from D#)
At least in the commercially viable sense
A(pm)
That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc
D(pm) A(pm)
Every subtle nuance of a tune is made available to you
A(pm)
That thing you're listening to is a high-tech dream come true

Throw your scratched, dusty records in the trash

Devoid of any thought or heart at all

It's the antithesis of rock and roll
E
But no one cares that a record sounds better
F# D A
Cause you just can't buy them so it just doesn't matter at all
E (w/ slides up from D#)
And that's common sense
