Hall Amp Oates Serious Music Lyrics

Serious Music Lyrics

(Words by John Oates



 Music by John Oates, George Bizet)



 



 To play to get rich



 And die baroque is wrong



 If you write a song for god



 Will he sing along



 While rows of robot symphonies read on



 Is that the way you wanted it played



 Manuscripted memories



 Sound with no electricity



 Concentration line on the face of serious music



 Manuscripted memories



 Sound but no electricity 



 Concentration lines on the face of serious music



 You brought a bit of jazz to the concert hall



 But you won't hear violins at the darkies' ball



 Your rhapsody in blue will outlive us all



 I wish I was there the night you played it



 Manuscripted memories



 Sound with no electricity



 Concentration line on the face of serious music



 Manuscripted memories



 Sound but no electricity 



 Concentration lines on the face of serious music
