State of the Art - Gotye
When the cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D 575
Has custom flute presets
And Harmony-Plus in addition
Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half-dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom
I put the Genie Bass on
So my left hand can play the choir
With 16th Diapason
And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer
Banjo's great on repeat
The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient
The wife can't help tapping her feet
It's a genuine home entertainment revelation
State of the art
Hold the phone it's so
State of the art
Listen to the difference
State of the art
By use of a computer
Oh my god it's so
State of the art
Now we don't want to go out
When we could spent the night at home with the Cotillion
Invite the neighbours around
Start the nossanova and limbo from the living to the kitchen
Enjoy the state of the art
The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding
Now we can't tell them apart
But there amazing simulations end up sounding
Even better than the real thing
State of the art
Hold the phone it's so
State of the art
Computer controlled tone colour
State of the art
The marriage of music to computers is quite natural
Oh my god it's so
State of the art
It's time to hear the results
