: It sounds a lot like everything else

I feel this is more of a condemnation of how bland and homogenous modern music has become, that it took so long for it to be noticed.

You and me girl, by the river
Cold beers, expect some drivel
Turn up the radio, dip gonna spit
I just wrote the next country hit.

We'll just escape in my pickup truck
Tell work release I'm not a yankee chump
Get tattooed on a Friday night
Oh dear lord, I'm so dang white.

This here folk music ain't my bag
The pastor's wives' faces now all sag
Town factory sold to them overseas
Not before they'd cut all those trees.

I don't care about those fancy ways
Or the city people's lastest craze
We'll drive off with our loyal cur
I need some ear bleach! ...ah, Autechre.

It's just as much a condemnation of how undiscerning the majority of popular music listeners are to mindlessly download such a boring bot ballad.

We'll just escape in my pickup truck
Tell work release I'm not a yankee chump

That goldurn swear filter was deftly avoided. (Driver in the cab, he sure looks 'roided. Yee-haw!)
