Swing is Dead

The title track demo that never made it to the album.

Swing is Dead
That's what I said
Wrap it up in a box and send it home
When the movement began, well I shoulda known
It's hard to understand
Why the whole thing began
I'm sure all would agree
How long it would last there was no guarantee
Swing is Dead
That's what I said
Everybody misused it
Ripped it off and abused it
Another jughead plan
Makin dough for the man
A terrible blow but that's how it goes
The next fad is set to go
And if you wanna be a sellout, well
Just remember
Swing is Dead
We're all fed up with progress
Going retro now, I must confess
It's the music of my dreams
But the latest scene, what does it mean?
Ain't a damn thing said
'Cause Swing is Dead
All I want is some peace of mind
Just a good time out I'm trying to find
This could be such a beautiful thing
When the band's playing swing, jiving like anything
Why can't the dancers give me any answers
No one's serious & it makes me furious
Britney Spears is waiting in the wings
It's the death of Swing
