There is a beat for all,
Lyrics for everyone.
Country and Tim McGraw,
Rap and Eminem,
R and B and Alicia Keys,
And the list is an eternity.

But beware!
Musical nonsense is not rare.
Nonsense about drugs and addiction,
Women and sex,
Violence and gangs.
Disturbing and insulting
A world that seems to not care.
