Since music is humanity's greatest achievement It makes sense that we preserve it When times get hard and when we get lost That's when we most need it And everybody's different But everyone can hear it So you can save the whales, you can save the trees Save the world if you please But please, save the music Every town in this country looks exactly the same A Wetherspoons, the same old coffee chains An H&M and a Sports Direct But there's a venue on the edge of town A place that likes to play the music loud A place that offers shelter from that bullshit So you can save your life, you can save your money Save your kisses for your true love, honey But please, save the music I can't imagine a world without any music To tell you the truth, I'm not sure I'd want to do it Live a life without a song And when it's raining Costa Coffee I tell you now that we're gonna be sorry Sometimes you don't know what you got Until it's gone So you can save your children, you can save yourself Go right ahead and save everybody else But please, save the music Save the stages and the venues Save the sound and light crew Save the bar staff and promoters Save the kid handing out flyers Save the singer in the band who don't have any fans But might go on to be the greatest band you'll ever see Now it falls on us to do it We have to save the music
