Auto-tuned divas with glitter in their hair,
On every media outlet, taking up all the air.
The videos look great, but the music all sounds canned.
I donât feel much like dancing, when they synthesize the whole band.
Chorus:
AutoTune Divas, whatâll you pretend to sing now?
I wonder how it sounds with the autotune down?
Music without musicians? That ainât got no soul!
Fake voices and fake instruments donât make real rock and roll.
Iâm no guitar hero, I just ainât got the chops
I donât get no kicks following licks on a little x-box
A real, live rhythm guitar is just a drum with strings,
Pounding out the music so everyone can dance and sing
AutoTune Divas, whatâll you pretend to sing now?
I wonder how it sounds with the autotune down?
Music without musicians, generated by a little app.
Iâd rather hear real instruments, âcuz that stuff sounds like crap.
I wonder if theyâd have the nerve, to get on stage and sing
With just a Ukulele, or anything with (actual) strings
A simple live performance, no effects or anything.
Do you think it would sound like a studio recording?
AutoTune Divas, whatâll you pretend to sing now?
I wonder how it sounds with the autotune down?
Music without musicians, that donât cut it anyway.
Better get real instruments, and learn how to play.
