You started video rentals back in Eighty Five
Home movie business really starts to grow and thrive
I didn’t care to get my tape, I had to drive.
Oh-a oh
Cook took the credit for originally.
Rewritten by garbage men and technology,
And now you understand the problems I can see.
Oh-a oh
Along came Netflix
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Policy killed the video star.
Policy killed the video star.
Expansion came and broke my heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now you tell me all these rules and policies.
Expecting that they’ll please and resonate with me.
Not just new policies, but ever higher fees .
Oh-a oh
You were the first one.
Oh-a oh
Neflix’ll be the last one.
Policy killed the video star.
Policy killed the video star.
Your policies are so bizarre, you can’t rewind you’ve gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh
Policy killed the video star.
Policy killed the video star.
Your policies are so bizarre, you can’t rewind you’ve gone to far.
Viacom came and broke my heart, I guess I’ll play my DVR.
You were a video star.
You were a video star.
Policy killed the video star.
Policy killed the video star.
Policy killed the video star.
Policy killed the video star.
Policy killed the video star. (You were a video star.)
