Death of an Era - No Bragging Rights

Have you noticed the change?

Well so have I

We pay admission just to wait outside

I miss the way things used to be

The excitement is gone

I’m tired of preaching to myself

While everyone looks the other way

Your complaints fall on deaf ears

I’m losing everything I tried to save

This marks the death of an era

The start of a movement

A new breed of people

Who refuse to stay silent

If you’re not here to help

Stay out of the way

Crashing through the fences

Change comes today

No respect for real talent

When gimmicks take the stage

Musicians thrown to the wayside

When thoughtless phrases pave the way

So sing along to every word

But it’s a joke we’ve all heard

They force feed you this mindless act

And hope in time you’ll sing it back

I’m tired of preaching to myself

While everyone looks the other way

Your complaints fall on deaf ears

I’m losing everything I tried to save

This marks the death of an era

The start of a movement

A new breed of people

Who refuse to stay silent

If you’re not here to help

Stay out of the way

Crashing through the fences

Change comes today

I never thought this day would come

Now everything’s in pieces

How did we let this happen

After all these years

Change comes today
