Dirty Music Politics
It all started in good fun, you'd just hang out with your boys
But then one thing turned to another, and you started making noise
From the basement to the stage and nearly everything between
You soon found yourself invested in your punk rock scene
You got in to shows for free, you thought that was pretty rad
When the going got this good you couldn't foresee any bad
You climbed up the corporate ladder, of the music industry
Took you a year to see your name up on that fucking marquee
Well life ain't fair this world is shit
Sometimes you wanna fucking quit
You didn't sign up for this
Dirty music politics
Well life ain't fair this world is shit
Sometimes you wanna fucking quit
You didn't sign up for this
Dirty music politics
Well you played a ton of shows and you traveled wide and far
Every weekend you'd be gigging and be living out of your car
Spitting lyrics shredding jamming, you'd achieved the rock star dream
Worked your way up from the bottom right into the mainstream
Well now you're in a different place, you're looking back on then
You think of how you'd do things if you did it all again
Now the cycle is complete and the youthful bands push on
They're playing with no merit, you're left in their fucking dust
Well life ain't fair this world is shit
Sometimes you wanna fucking quit
You didn't sign up for this
Dirty music politics
Well life ain't fair this world is shit
Sometimes you wanna fucking quit
You didn't sign up for this
