Not a Pretty Scene
What're we gonna do when The Bosstones finally retire?
What're we gonna do when The Bosstones finally retire?
Will people wonder where the 90s went
When nostalgia doesn't cut it?
In an aging population
When the youth group doesn't need it
Does the upstroke still denote a sense of
Authentic independence?
Is it even controversial?
Outside it's own insistence that it's
More than comic fodder for
Ex-girlfriends and their mothers
I'm just thinking out loud to chords I've
Put in songs before but I can't
Quit this preoccupation with
These questions I can't answer like
What're we gonna do?
Will people wonder the ska shows went
When the culture's ancient history?
When there's no coins in the cash box
When no bands can fill a venue and
The fourth wave doesn't happen
Cause these checks can't turn a profit
Just bunch of tiny fish all trying to
Feed off a dead market, no
It's not a pretty scene
This ain't a model for succession
It's a suicide machine
For poorly managed expectations
No, it's not a pretty scene
That's a critique, not a suggestion
No, it's not a pretty scene
And I don't think it's getting better
What're we gonna do when The Bosstones finally retire?
Will people wonder where the 90s went
When nostalgia doesn't cut it?
In an aging population
When the youth group doesn't need it
Does the upstroke still denote a sense of
Authentic independence?
Is it even controversial?
Outside it's own insistence that it's
More than comic fodder for
Ex-girlfriends and their mothers
I'm just thinking out loud to chords I've
Put in songs before but I can't
Quit this preoccupation with
These questions I can't answer like
What're we gonna do?
Will people wonder the ska shows went
When the culture's ancient history?
When there's no coins in the cash box
When no bands can fill a venue and
The fourth wave doesn't happen
Cause these checks can't turn a profit
Just bunch of tiny fish all trying to
Feed off a dead market, no
It's not a pretty scene
This ain't a model for succession
It's a suicide machine
For poorly managed expectations
No, it's not a pretty scene
That's a critique, not a suggestion
No, it's not a pretty scene
And I don't think it's getting better
