All of the promise but minus the knowledge Why bother now that they teach punk rock in college Co-opted culture, misguided intention Hardcore's extinction almost guaranteed So gifted and smart, everyone looks so pretty But where is the danger in hot topic city? Most of them never get past what's on TV This demographic has a new obsession This demographic thinks the singer's cute This demographic doesn't have a fucking clue (Chorus) You say I'm bitter, I'm just jealous I just resent my lack of success Why should I even care about this? Why don't I give it up, accept this? A shitload of talent, but there is no deep end Forget about passion, there's none in the bloodstream Follow a band, what's the point, what's the meaning Why does everybody fucking sound the same They played 15 shows now they're signed to a label See them look sexy on magazine covers Make-up applied and they're all photo-friendly This record label has the perfect roster This record label has a formula This record label made you an instant millionaire (Chorus)
