Alternative Is Dead - Suburban Legends

Well I believe that alternative is dead

I used to be a grunge-rocker man

Corporate greed has choked the scene

Making it all dumb and trendy

I believe that alternative is dead and it ain’t coming back

It ain’t what it used to be

All these dumb kids crowding all around me

Jr. highers, grabbing the flyers

Going to the shows I want to see

Well, I believe that we’ll learn from what happened before

So all the bands we see now

Won’t end up in a Tower Records store

Old Man’s a-prowling, searching for a brand new baby face

To fill Eddie Vedder’s job

Well, I believe that job’s not for me

Go pick on someone else
