I will aspire well beyond
|
The ethical boundaries found,
|
In your exclusive subculture for the few,
|
Grounded on the resentment bred into... You!
|
|
Lost in the labyrinth of the indefinable,
|
Fighting like tortured rats over such an unworthy goal.
|
Has substance has been subverted?
|
Ambition runs its course?
|
Line up at Hot Topic for your packaged daily dose!
|
|
What does it mean to gather here,
|
In this amalgamation of rejects from your peers?
|
Is it "just another cheap product for the consumers head"?
|
|
And I, I will!
|
Aspire to leave your punk rock dream behind,
|
As long as it lacks courage and fortitude
|
So if you act, Act out!
|
Of resentment and negativity,
|
Then the underground scene,
|
Is just another poor excuse... For you!
|
|
I will to... I will to...
|
Are we striving toward a cause,
|
Or rebelling just because?
|
We scream unity,
|
But leave it at the door after the show.
|
Wasting breath decrying sell-outs,
|
While the tobacco industry makes out
|
Funny how the former is the easier course to follow
|
|
What are our values and our moral obligations?
|
Don't feed me straight edge;
|
It's just another well-disguised addiction
|
Are we chicken shit conformists like our parents?
|
|
And I, I will!
|
Aspire to leave your punk rock dream behind,
|
As long as it lacks courage and fortitude
|
So if you act, Act out!
|
Of resentment and negativity,
|
Then the underground scene,
|
Is just another poor excuse: For you!
|
|
Such a! Precocious, war we wage!
|
"Give up"/"give in"! = the enemies we keep at bay.
|
|
I will let you go!
|
And I, I will!
|
Aspire to leave your punk rock dream behind,
|
As long as it lacks courage and fortitude
|
So if you act, Act out!
|
Of resentment and negativity,
|
Then the underground scene,
|
Is just another poor excuse... For you!
|
|
It's time to break this down! It's time to break!
