Viewing Lyrics for Chickenshit Conformist:
| | | Artist: | Kennedys Dead |
| | Album: | Bedtime For Democracy | | Track: | Chickenshit Conformist | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 3 | | | | Lyrics: | Punk's not dead
It just deserves to die
When it becomes another stale cartoon
A
close-minded, self-centered social club
Ideas don't matter, it's who you know
If the
music's gotten boring
It's because of the people
Who want everyone to sound the
same
Who drive bright people out
Of our so-called scene
'Til all that's
left
Is just a meaningless fad
Hardcore formulas are dogshit
Change and caring
are what's real
Is this a state of mind
Or just another label
The joy and hope
of an alternative
Have become its own cliche
A hairstyle's not a lifestyle
Imagine
Sid Vicious at 35
Who needs a scene
Scared to love and to feel
Judging
everythng
By loud fast rules appeal
Who played last night?
"I don't know, I
forgot.
But diving off the stage
Was a lot of fun."
CHORUS
So eager to
please
Peer pressure decrees
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the
same old mistakes
Again and again,
Chickenshit conformist
Like your
parents
What's ripped us apart even more than drugs
Are the thieves and the goddamn
liars
Flipping people off when they share their stuff
When someone falls are there any
friends?
Harder core than thou for a year or two
Then it's time to get a real
job
Others stay home, it's no fun to go out
When the gigs are wrecked by gangs and
thugs
When the thugs form bands, look who gets record deals
>From New York metal
labels looking to scam
Who sign the most racist queerbashing bands they can find
To make a
buck revving kids up for war
Walk tall, act small
Only as tough as gang
approval
Unity is bullshit
When it's under someone's fat boot
Where's the
common cause
Too many factions
Safely sulk in their shells
Agree with us on
everything
Or we won't help with anythng
That kind of attitude
JUst makes a split
grow wider
Guess who's laughing while the world explodes
When we're all
crybabies
Who fight best among ouselves
CHORUS
That farty old rock and
roll attitude's back
"It's competition, man, we wanna break big."
Who needs friends when
the money's good
That's right, the '70s are back.
Cock-rock metal's like a bad
laxative
It just don't move me, ya know?
The music's OK when there's more ideas than
solos
Do we rally need the attitude too?
Shedding thin skin too quickly
As a
fan it disappoints me
Same old stupid sexist lyrics
Or is Satan all you can think
of?
Crossover is just another word
For lack of ideas
Maybe what we
need
Are more trolls under the bridge
Wil the metalheads finally learn something-
Or
will the punks throw away their education?
No one's ever the best
Once they believe
their own press
"Maturing" don't mean rehashing
Mistakes of the
past
CHORUS
The more things change
The more they stay the same
We
can't grow
When we won't criticize ourselves
The '60s weren't all failure
It's the
'70s that stunk
As the clock ticks we dig the same hole
Music scenes ain't real
life
They won't get rid of the bomb
Won't eliminate rape
Or bring down the
banks
Any kind of real change
Takes more time and work
Than changing channels on a TV
set
CHORUS
