deep within the suburbs
of southwestern county sprawl
the sons of millionaires are scratching
lyrics on the wall
don't know where it came from
they don't seem to really care
but they liked the aesthetic
so they decided it was theirs
and they're screaming at the top of their lungs playing the music that they stole
about how they're gonna fight the system the system that they control
go sing your songs about the working classes for the masses
and when it's done we'll have a toast with our bulldogs in the mansions
hide it all behind a flimsy punk sheen
and that's alright, i just can't vibe
with this scene
three thousand dollar guitars
to play the same old three chords
you paid some real good money
to make it look like it was worn,
battered, torn
empty my wallet just to enter
but the rooms are always full
your toxic scene has dug its roots
so deep into my skull
and your lifestyle contradicting every aspect of what you preach
cant hide all the wealth that lingers in each ounce of the air you breathe
go sing your songs about the working classes for the masses
and when it's done we'll have a toast with our bulldogs in the mansions
hide it all behind a flimsy punk sheen
and that's alright, i just can't vibe
with this scene
