Handbook for the Sellout - Five Iron Frenzy

You found a way, to draw a line

Between the world and you

Faking your identity it’s true

Did you think the word «alternative»

Was only meant for the likes of you?

Do you think that they’re too cool now?

Being popular is lame

You’re the one who made them popular

All their songs are still the same

You found them first

It made you stand apart, you know?

But then everyone jumped on the same bandwagon

Making you an average Joe

A lemming for the mediocre

You were just a plain old joker, status quo

Blame it on the band now

If you prick them do they bleed?

What’s the point in playing what they want

If you won’t let them succeed?

Do you remember where we all came from?

Do you remember what it’s all about?

When you made a point to be objective

Before you started writing Handbook for the Sellout?

You sunk your worth in being different

Just to be like your own kind

You traded in objectiveness

For the underground you follow blind

Do you remember where we all came from?

Do you remember what it’s all about?

When you made a point to be objective

Before you started writing Handbook for the Sellout?
