"Chickenshit Conformist"<br /><br />Punk's not dead<br />It just deserves to die<br />When it becomes another stale cartoon<br />A close-minded, self-centered social club<br />Ideas don't matter, it's who you know<br />If the music's gotten boring<br />It's because of the people<br />Who want everyone to sound the same<br />Who drive bright people out<br />Of our so-called scene<br />'Til all that's left Is just a meaningless fad<br />Hardcore formulas are dogshit<br />Change and caring are what's real<br />Is this a state of mind<br />Or just another label<br />The joy and hope of an alternative<br />Have become its own cliche<br />A hairstyle's not a lifestyle<br />Imagine Sid Vicious at 35<br />Who needs a scene<br />Scared to love and to feel<br />Judging everythng<br />By loud fast rules appeal<br />Who played last night?<br />"I don't know, I forgot.<br />But diving off the stage Was a lot of fun."<br />[Chorus:]<br />So eager to please<br />Peer pressure decrees<br />So eager to please<br />Peer pressure decrees<br /><br />Make the same old mistakes<br />Again and again,<br />Chickenshit conformist<br />Like your parents<br />What's ripped us apart even more than drugs<br />Are the thieves and the goddamn liars<br />Flipping people off when they share their stuff<br />When someone falls are there any friends?<br />Harder core than thou for a year or two<br />Then it's time to get a real job<br />Others stay home, it's no fun to go out<br />When the gigs are wrecked by gangs and thugs<br />When the thugs form bands, look who gets record deals<br />From New York metal labels looking to scam<br />Who sign the most racist queerbashing bands they can find<br />To make a buck revving kids up for war<br />Walk tall, act small<br />Only as tough as gang approval<br />Unity is bullshit<br />When it's under someone's fat boot<br />Where's the common cause<br />Too many factions<br />Safely sulk in their shells<br />Agree with us on everything<br />Or we won't help with anythng<br />That kind of attitude<br />Just makes a split grow wider<br />Guess who's laughing while the world explodes<br />When we're all crybabies<br />Who fight best among ouselves<br /><br />[Chorus]<br /><br />That farty old rock and roll attitude's back<br />"It's competition, man, we wanna break big."<br />Who needs friends when the money's good<br />That's right, the '70s are back.<br />Cock-rock metal's like a bad laxative<br />It just don't move me, ya know?<br />The music's OK when there's more ideas than solos<br />Do we rally need the attitude too?<br />Shedding thin skin too quickly<br />As a fan it disappoints me<br />Same old stupid sexist lyrics<br />Or is Satan all you can think of?<br />Crossover is just another word<br />For lack of ideas<br />Maybe what we need<br />Are more trolls under the bridge<br />Will the metalheads finally learn something-<br />Or will the punks throw away their education?<br />No one's ever the best<br />Once they believe their own press<br />"Maturing" don't mean rehashing<br />Mistakes of the past<br /><br />[Chorus]<br /><br />The more things change<br />The more they stay the same<br />We can't grow<br />When we won't criticize ourselves<br />The '60s weren't all failure<br />It's the '70s that stunk<br />As the clock ticks we dig the same hole<br />Music scenes ain't real life<br />They won't get rid of the bomb<br />Won't eliminate rape<br />Or bring down the banks<br />Any kind of real change<br />Takes more time and work<br />Than changing channels on a TV set<br /><br />[Chorus]
