[Verse 1]
[Gm][Am][Dm][Am]
Well, [Dm]I'll give you the [Ebm]best example
[Em]of why [Am]such a [F]panel is a [Em]pure [Dm]fiction
And a pure fantasy
[Am]You ever heard of the Grammys?
[Dm]Do you know anything about
[Ebm]NARAS?
Have you ever heard of the
NARAS credo?
That's that [Am]little— I
saw one one time
The one that I [Dm]saw was written
[Am]by Stan Freberg
Okay? We were the entertainment [Dm]at the Grammys in
[Am]1967 or '68 in New York
I saw this piece of paper and it said
in part that
These [Ebm]se lections are made on artistic
[Am]merit alone and have nothi[Dm]ng to do
With [Am]unit sales,
right? [Dm]Sure[Am]

[Verse 2]
NARAS does not [Ebm]listen to [Dm]25000[Am] individual
[Dm]four minute [Am]songs every [Dm]year
In order to [Eb]pick somebody
who gets a [Am]Grammy
It's obviously fake, okay?
Now, how do they expect that somebody [Ebm]is going to,
[Am]in good conscience
[Eb]Listen to that volume of music
[Am]Now, you can't listen just once
(yeah), you have to listen carefully to
Make sure you haven't missed anything
You [Eb]know, it's gonna take more than
[Am]four minutes a [Dm]song to do this
[Am]To listen to the entire output o[Dm]f the United States
[Eb]record business per y[Am]ear ([Dm]yeah[Am])
This is a joke,
who's gonna pay for this?
[Ebm]Obviously the PMRC answer would [Am]be

[Verse 3]
[Eb]There are plenty of
volunteers in Lynchburg,
Vir[Am]ginia
[F#]They'll sit there and listen to it all day
and all [Gm]night
In fact, they've [Am]already got the little [Eb]Xs made
up, they're ready to [Am]pump 'em out
Because, as you know, the major
[Eb]industry in Lynchburg right n[Am]ow is not the
Moral major[Eb]ity, it's the Fleet [Am]Enema Corporation,
and you need to have
Some other kind of business there to
boost the local GNP
That's true! That's the biggest employer in [C#]Lynchburg [G](ra[Am]wr) Well,
I think that there's a reason why the Fleet Enema Company
Loc[Am]ated its fact[Em]ory right next to [Am]Falwell's church
[Dm](rawr)
Or maybe it's vice versa, maybe there's
a reason why Jerry located
His church right [Em]next to the Fleet Enema
[Eb]Corporation
[Ebm]Maybe there's a fund raising balance
between them
Maybe they have something that those
They each have something that the other
needs for their work
