| «Marty, Marty listen to me
|
| Bring me something the kids will cry for
|
| Get out there, and get us stoked!»
|
| Meet Marty, major label A&R scout
|
| Forty years old, gut hanging out
|
| Red Ferrari, Marty living in L. A
|
| Bumps another line to get through the day
|
| Dumped by his girl, he paid for her liposuction
|
| His friends call him Money in his introduction
|
| And Marty knows nothing but claims to know it all
|
| Lose the flat screen TV if he drops the ball
|
| You’re as good as your last hit, find the next big thing
|
| If he doesn’t bring the bling, his cell phone won’t ring
|
| What’s the trend, what’s new? |
| What’s a label scout to do?
|
| Office life, Marty 11:32
|
| The label pres. |
| calls and yells, «Sign more emo!»
|
| How about screamo? |
| «If it sells, sign Nemo,»
|
| «We're down 2%, and BMG knows
|
| My daughter likes Dashboard, so get me one of those!»
|
| He checks AP.net, the Scout and more
|
| Yelling band names to his assistant through the door
|
| The kids like this, who cares if it’s great?
|
| So he signs a band called Hearts that Hate
|
| «Marty… we’ve got a hit!»
|
| Cry tonight. |
| My hands around your hands
|
| I won’t let you die tonight
|
| Cry tonight. |
| My heart’s in your hands
|
| I won’t let you…
|
| Hearts that Hate, Marty goes to their show
|
| Up in the club and here we go
|
| Marty sees a girl in a Simple Plan shirt
|
| With a Senses Fail boy, ha! |
| that’ll never work
|
| He finds his label friends in the corner they huddle
|
| An emo cattle auction, they penetrate the bubble
|
| They talk about Victory and signing TBS
|
| Dissing the same bands they just tried to impress
|
| So the lights go down, the crowd starts to scream
|
| Hearts that Hate have hit the scene
|
| Blake on vocals, and lead guitar
|
| He does a backflip, «Look how different we are!»
|
| They show up at the studio to record it
|
| A TRL, Billboard Modern Rock hit
|
| They auto-tune Blake, but he can’t tell
|
| He says, «I've got perfect pitch, damn I sing well»
|
| ProTools, Logic, cut, copy, paste
|
| Quantized solos and quantized bass
|
| Signed, sealed, delivered and sent
|
| Across the U.S. and the single went
|
| Momentum builds, but it all caves in
|
| Industrial comes back, the pres. |
| needs a NIN
|
| Marty finds a new band called «Fetal Coil»
|
| And Hearts that Hate try to keep their fans loyal
|
| They re-work their sound for album number two
|
| As «Machines of Hate» but their career is through
|
| They break up and work pushing mops and brooms
|
| Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
|
| Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
|
| Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
|
| «Can you teach me track five Mr. Blake?»
|
| «Hey, I wrote that song and it goes like this!» |
