REPETITION

Written: Gallagher Street, Las Cruces NM, 1985

 

Evolving from disco music, R&R in the 80s was polluting the airwaves with songs that seemed to Knees to be nothing more than a line or two being repeated ad nauseum, as if the listening span of the average teenager had dropped below the five second level. So of course Knees had to write an opus celebrating lyrical and musical laziness. If you don’t want to join 'em, then parody 'em, Knees always said.

 

I don’t care if the sun never rises

Long as my music gives me no surprises

An I don’t care if the melody’s cheap

Long as I can sing it in my sleep.

 

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition.

 

I don’t care if it’s June or December

There’s just one lick I got to remember

An I don’t care if I’m live or dead

Just drive that rhythm right into my head.

 

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition

Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition.
