lyrics

If I happen to catch the start of X-Factor
And melt down like a nuclear reactor
Well, this is not the tip of the iceberg
I’m not into twelve-tone or Schoenberg

It’s just my inner Adorno
My inner Adorno
And I’m trying to warn you
It’s just my inner Adorno

If the splinter in your eye’s the best glass magnifier
If the CD in your player’s the best class signifier
Then I might make these comments on society
But it’s not a dialectic or piety

It’s just my inner Adorno
My inner Adorno
And I’m trying to warn you
It’s just my inner Adorno

It’s just the writings of a disillusioned Marxist
Who smiles appreciatively at modernist artists
When the songs that you hear have got no meaning
When the shores of California are so demeaning

If you realise you can’t stand the works of Stravinsky
If you’re more into Mondrian and Kandinsky
Then don’t you worry about being fusty
It’s the deadening effects of the culture industry

It’s just your inner Adorno
Your inner Adorno
I’ve been trying to warn you
It’s just your inner Adorno
