The New Jersey music scenes dead it seams
cuz everybody wants to be unhappy
they sit an complain no one is at their shows
but every time there is one they never want to go
The New Jersey music scene is dead it seems
cuz everbody wants to act so jocky
its not like this is some big contest
to prove that your band is better than the rest
You count likes on facebook
and you stream your own songs
and this song doesnt matter
cuz im too low on your social ladder
The New Jersey Music scene is dead it seems
cuz every sad guy with a guitar is salty
that they're competing with a million sadder guys
and they always get into fights on NJ DIY
The New Jersey Music Scene is dead it seems
cuz everybodys trying to force feed their merch on me
im not gonna pay 10 bucks for your cd
when i can go online and stream it for free
and we're all hypocrites
claiming we hate capitalists
and one day we'll grow up
eventually our bands will break up
we'll realized that they suck
cuz music dont make the bucks
often times i think about all the stickers that i've made and where they are now
I've got atleast ten friends supporting me so i like to think they put em places people see
but when i go to their apartment to say it really lightly I guess I can take a hint cuz I see the sticker in the corner of my eye in the corner of the room
atleast i can say i tried to
put myself out there with some adhesive square my bandcamps on the top not that anybody cares
do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do
what if this is what it's all about you pray for the day some person comes around
sees your sticker lying on the floor so they get curious and they wanna learn more
they log onto facebook dot com they search for your name now they're streamin all your songs
they show their friends your discography you're starting to become a celebrity
all from some sticker lying on the floor
look at your life you're always going on tour
do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do
so the next time you're walking down the street
dont look up at the ground just stare down at your feet
cuz you might see the sticker for the next big band
ahh probably not they're just poppy and bland
i beat you think that you're good at playing guitar
but nobody cares if you even are cuz
youre just some dick head with ignorant opinions
you'll spend your life being a cover band fill in
do do do do do do
do do do do do do
you claim that good music has been dead for decades
can you stop hiding behind elitist charades
do do do do do do
do do do do do do
and i dont care if your parents showed you zepplin
and i dont care if you grew up on the beatles
cuz they were just people
pretty shitty people
and we're all just people
hope we're decent people too
you will make more money in one day
than i'd ever make off of every show i play
but i'll keep singing these stupid little songs
and pray that one day you're singing along
do do do do do do
do do do do do do
classic rock kids are living in the past
classic rock kids well they can kiss my ass
clasic rock kids are living in the past
classic rock kids they can kiss my ass
