The lyrical content of the song is composed of samples of evangelist Jimmy Swaggart from his 1969 album The Ring of Fire: A Message to the Young People of Today.
This beat that the devil today...
Has nurtured and fostered...
Is inspired by the powers of hell!
And there are young people that are in these rock groups that are
Pulling off their clothes in full view of thousands of young people
There asks the question when police dare not step in with the air thick
With marijuana smoke, a hundred thousand kids! The huge speakers that
Beat off the music as dope-filled entertainers and performers beat upon
The guitars and drums and the strings. Those young people that ripped
Off their clothes and acted like animals...
They said it's the music
It's the music!
They said it's the music
It's the music!
They said it's the music
It's the music!
They said it's the music
It's the music!
And I really didn't know what I was doing, they said...
I just pulled off my clothes and I had to do it!
They said it's the music
It's the music!
They said it's the music
It's the music!
They said it's the music
It's the music!
They said it's the music
It's the music!
