He explained: "It is written. We need to find a distribution deal. It is not possible to find a recording deal, so we would record it ourselves as soon as we can find a distributor who could make it available worldwide.
"There was a time when the music industry served the artist, but now the artist must serve the music industry, which is why everything is now so tasteless."
Chatting more about modern music, he added: "There is extremely heavy censorship now. If you examine, for example, the Sex Pistols rise, it largely succeeded because nobody saw it coming, and the industry didn't think a band like the Sex Pistols could be popular, or could even exist.
"Now, it is severely controlled and monitored to make sure that any singer with a political message cannot get through. The result is obvious. We are left with music charts that do not reflect the feelings and needs of devout music lovers. But there cannot be a revolution."
Morrissey concluded: "I prefer now to then. David Bowie once told me that his success in the 1970s confused him because he did not enjoy it. I feel the same way about the 1980s."
