Pourquoi Tu Joues Faux

Why Are You Playing Off-Key

Why are you playing off-key, why are you playing loud?
Why is what you’re playing not beautiful somehow?
Why are you playing off-key, why are you playing loud?
Why does it sound bad on the radio now?

Same old thing, same old sound
Same old theme, same old song
What’s the point of your melody?
What you express, what you scream at me

Why are you playing off-key, why are you playing loud?
Why is what you’re playing not beautiful somehow?
Why are you playing off-key, why are you playing loud?
Why does it sound bad on the radio now?

And the same A and the same E
Same old nonsense, same old key
The same voice in the same mic
Same old noise in the echo chamber

Pretty lyrics, nice effect
But too many flats, too much delay
Beautiful words, nice score
But too much bullshit, too much violin

Turn it down, lower the tone, quiet your voice
The distortion!
Why are you playing off-key, why are you playing loud?
Why is what you’re playing not beautiful somehow?
Why are you playing off-key, why are you playing loud?

Why does it sound bad on the radio now?
Why are you playing off-key, why are you playing loud?
Why is what you’re playing not beautiful somehow?
Why are you playing off-key, why are you playing loud?

Why does it sound bad on the radio now?
Your note is off, your trumpet’s wrong
The more you recite, the more you drone on
Your flute is off, your nonsense too
Shh! Just stop.
