Extraordinary (Corporate) Machine

If you haven't heard about the Fiona Apple album scandal, read this.
Then proceed to download it here. The new album is called Extraordinary Machine.

It's a really really good album. You can find the full lyrics here.
The story is apparently she submitted the first 10 tracks, then the corporate whores were like "no, we want a single, go write more" She wrote a song (#11 - Please, please, please) with these lyrics:

Please please please
No more melodies
They lack impact, they're petty
They've been made up already
Please please please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same team
And you can hear our sad brain screaming

"Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady"
Steady
Steady going nowhere


How fabulously bitchy is that!?! :)
