The last one I remember was Kurt Cobain
but he showed up over 20 years ago
even in the 80s there wasn't much
a lot of imitators but you know they couldn't touch
King Elvis, the fab four, and the great Led Zep
True legends tend to age like the finest wine
These days few care about music anymore
and it's no wonder, it's all a fucking bore

but there used to be a thing they called Charisma
it came out blarin' from your radio
Now as far as I can tell there is none
until they play me, until they play me

Songwriters they will start to go extinct
cause you don't need no new tunes anymore, no
The masses watch karaoke on TV
There ain't no more rock spirit
not as far as mine eyes can see

Hey there used to be a thing they called Charisma
it came out blarin' from your radio-o-o-o-o
Now as far as I can tell there is none
until they play me, until they play me

(solo on verse?)

Wake up now I am here to entertain
no I'm not here not here to do the same ol, same ol
You might just remember me without understanding why
Tomorrow you will tell your friends last night I heard this guy

There used to be a thing they called Charisma
it came out blarin' from your radio-o-o-o-o
but now as far as I can tell there is none
until they play me, until they play me
until they play me, they're never gonna play me
until they play me, they'd be really stupid not to play me
until they play me, will they ever play me
until they play me, when will those fuckers play me
until they play me
oh there used to be a thing x

The Bitter Guy's Station
a song with great charisma but nobody gave it the time of day.
