lyrics

So many kids in bands have got it wrong, always hanging out in gangs when they could be writing songs. I guess it’s just a question of balance, and how you never wanna cockblock the talent. I’m not saying, that’s explicitly what you should do. Just cos you can write her a love song; don’t mean that you have to. So many kids in bands have got it wrong, got the parents and the privilege to pay for when they bomb. This ain’t a poverty means purity snob thing, just, the poor can’t afford to sustain being boring. I’m not saying money don’t help the musician. Full time high horse, part time position. Fuck it. Go faster. Hit the best chords harder. Stray further. Be the most explosive. Be the loudest, worstest, proudest mess you can. Be the sound that slays us, screaming Damn the Man. So many kids in bands have got in wrong, they’ll be backstage sniffing lines when they should be going on. How the cocaine fosters the fomo, but no-one’s missing out on yr solo. So many kids in bands just suck. Average Bitter Creeps Doing Endless Filler Guff. If it’s not the kind of thing you can teach then throw guitars in the green bin, take those dreams and shoot them. I’m not inciting you to actually kill a man. But songs outlasting people, that’s an undeniable problem. So many kids in bands get it right but they quit when it don’t happen overnight. So many kids in bands get it wrong, it’s the ego that keeps them carrying on. That’s us. Fuck it/Damn that Man.
