And people tried to put us down
When iTunes bumped a post-cold war sound
My generation sat at the mecca of malls
Times Square, I'm there, Via com installs
So we hit the net while the Trade Center fell
Once upon a time, in the city of Los Angeles
"Marty, Marty, listen to me
Bring me something the kids will cry for
Get out there, and get us stoked"
Meet Marty, Major Label, A and R scout
