Where Is the Danger? - 7 Seconds

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

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
