My Response to an Article in Alternative Press - Bomb The Music Industry!

The trick is playing trend rock right before the trend hits

Playing it right after means your band has missed the

Fucking bus and the kids have moved on

Here’s the thing about the music business

You can’t become an addict 'til you’re fucking famous

If you do it backwards it just means your rent will

Be overdue and you’ll have to keep a day job

Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them

All so different, I say you’re all the same

Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them

S-A-F-E, you play it safe

Here’s the thing about the music business

Ten thousand records isn’t much if you consider the budget

Your promo, your parties, payola

Insures that your shitty band will stay poor

Here’s the thing about a nail in a coffin

It keeps that shit shut while it’s six feet under

And zombies no one cares about don’t get a chance to

Rise from the dead and make a VH1 special

And if I’m wrong I’ll shut my mouth

Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them

All so different, I say you’re all the same

Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them

S-A-F-E, you play it safe

Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them

All so different, I say you’re all the same

Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them

Safe

If it’s playing what you’re into even though it’s not the current trend

S-A-F-E, we play it safe

If it’s trying not to be boring to keep the audience interested

S-A-F-E, we play it safe

If it’s making music that we like instead of what some label says

S-A-F-E, we play it safe

But if it’s pulling this shit that you do every night…

35 bucks a ticket to hear another ironic 80s pop song cover?

Yeah I love your stacked chest six pack you fucking punk

You’re playing it safe, you’re playing it safe

You’re playing it safe

You play, you play

You play, you play

You’re playing it safe, you’re playing it safe

You’re playing it safe

You play, you play

You play, you play

You play, you play

You play, you play

You play, you play

You play, you play
