Surviving the death of a genre

You say you're contemplating your music making, the value of
your life,
The same sound it's a cliche,and it won't change, until you
expand your mind

Oh here we go again, must we really know again, the story of
your life,
So many possiblities of what you could say,
If only you took the time,

There is another way, consider what you say, there's more to
life than getting paid,
You seem so bored with life on tour, but it's a perfect time
to think some more,

Oh here we go again, must we really know again, the story of
your life,
So many possiblities of what you could say,
If only you took the time,

If only you took the time,
If only you took the time,
If only you took the time,

'Cos we're proud to be the ones,
Who don't rely on being dumb,
And pretend it's who we really are,
It's not fashionable and young,
Smoking crack or toting guns,
'Cos they'd just see who we really are,
