Why I Love The Silver Screen Songtext
von Gumshoes

I hate the new stuff, hate the old stuff
Hate every step along the way
I hate every summer juggernaut
I hate every coming wave
I hate pictures, I hate stories
Hate the hacks that act them out
I hate every word of dialogue
That spews from out their mouths
And I′m sickened by the things
That I have never seen
That's why I love the silver screen


I hate romance, I hate drama
Hate the global avant-garde
I hate Truffaut, Demy, Resnais, Rivette
Varda and Godard
I hate any wide-eyed child
Who takes a cap off of a lens
You can scurry to the shutter
But they′ll cut you in the end
Like I massacre the extras
In my lucid dreams
That's why I love the silver screen

I saw the thing you told me to
I read the thing you wrote
There's a feeling in my stomach
It comes crawling up my throat
There is nothing here worth seeing
There is nothing here to get
I′ve been doing this for decades
Why has no-one paid me yet?
Now I′m walking down the carpet
Wearing gasoline
That's why I love the silver screen
