Something inside you is feeling like I do, Lyrics Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers (1974)
#Wake up time tom petty lyrics tv
The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health. I think watching the TV news is bad for you.

It's downright bad for your health now, and that's not a far-out concept. TV does not care about you or what happens to you.

If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television.

I'm much too smart to think that jewelry or how cool I am is really going to change much about my personality. Personally, I'm way too bright for a lot of the hip-hop lyrics to affect. Today it seems that if you don't have a hit - or even if you do - they have no use for you the next time. An act like ours wouldn't even be around today if someone hadn't brought us along and let us make mistakes and grow at our own pace.If you brought CD prices back down to $8.98, you would solve a lot of the industry's problems. I don't think that's really fair, but I understand it. I'm not condoning downloading music for free. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can't afford the music. It's funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for.One good thing about the sixties was it sort of was the opposite back then. Now, I find that fascinating: 'Bigger, younger, richer.' This whole idea of being wealthy has gone too far. It said three words against a patriotic background of red, white and blue - BIGGER, YOUNGER, RICHER. You know, I saw a billboard in New York I wish I had photographed. I don't think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.Everything - morals, truth - is all going out the window in favor of profit. That has made pop music what it is today. That's where you see the advent of programming on the radio, and radio research, all these silly things. You don't hear any more of, 'Hey, we did something creative and we turned a profit, how about that?' Everywhere we look, we want to make the most money possible.Rolling Stone interview (2002) "Tom Petty Is Pissed" in Rolling Stone (23 October 2002) That's not gonna work out, you know? It's a waste of your time! I don't understand the ones that have no sense of hope and invest in hate.I think for it to be unhip to be idealistic is weird, you know? I mean, even all the best rebels to me had some sense of hope in them.If we don't have hope then we don't go on. So, I think it's important to give them hope and realism in the same package, you know? You can be realistic but there should be - there should be hope in it. Young people are very cynical now, you know? Very cynical! They've been taught cynicism, they've been - they've been bred cynicism.Interview With Alan Bangs (1999) Interview with Alan Bangs (1999)
