How You Program the Machine

Ladies and gentlemen, I got a very distinguished
Guest here in the studio with me tonight
One of our big-time stars

When you do a hard day's work, man, you come in, get your shower
Jump in your clothes and go out there and get your good strong
Get over to the backyard, you know, like, "Hey, sure fuck!"
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

The whole, uh, recording industry went
Through a kind of polishing process
Where there was a race to see who
Could make like the perfect recording
And the essence of a lot of fantastic
Music got lost amongst all of that

Where's the artistry?
In the idea
How you program the machine
