Tekst piosenki
When your band started out
We thought you were the shit
Bought your records, booked your shows
´Cos you were down with the scene
Our support and loyalty
Took you really far
Record deals, world wide tours
You´ll be the next big star
Used the punk scene as a stepping stone
Become a major label star
When the limelight fades
We´ll remember who you are
Sign to a major label
Play commercial shit
Claim credit for being underground
While distancing yourselves from us
Now the critics love you
Your career is at it´s peak
But as your ego grows
Your music gets more weak
Used the punk as a stepping stone
Become a major label star
When the limelight fades
We remeber who you are
Lost all your creativity
No one likes you any more
And we won´t be fooled
By your nostalgic comeback tour
You´re just another sellout
We never needed anyway
We´ll stay true to the underground
Long after you fade away
(Ironically this song was written just a few months before "pop punk"
exploded into the media spotlight. Taking a cue from the
great 1983 NOTA song War on Wankers I wrote this rant
about sell out bands. My prescience was matched only by the
delays in releasing this album. You´ll notice I don´t name any
band names in this song. You, the listener, can think up your
own)
