Metric’s big hit off of their 1st album Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? is a diatribe on changing styles of music and the direction in which it’s heading. There’s a hint of irony throughout and it’s nothing short of a dance rock anthem.
[Verse 1]
Skip town, slow down
Push it to the east coast
Step down, turn around
Push it to the west
Need less, use less
We're asking for too much, I guess
'Cause all we get is...
[Chorus]
Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
Tits out, pants down
Overnight to London
Touch down, look around
Everyone's the same
Worldwide, airtight
No one's got a face left to blame
And all we get is...
[Chorus]
Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Outro]
I know, I know you tried to change things
I know, I know you tried to change
I know, I know you tried to change things
I know you tried to change
I know
