Black Leather

I'm a rockstar from the bottom of my heart
Bust up my lip while I smash a guitar
Bury me in pitch-black leather
I don't think it gets much better

Back when Rage was against the machine
Before cancel-culture came to the scene
Back when Warped Tour had a fucking stage for an artist like me
Then we'd stand around and hand out CDs for free
When Marilyn was scarier than heroin
Our therapy was terrifying parents, should've cherished it
Now we got these parrots parroting a fucking narrative
That saying what you think and you believe makes you a terrorist?

I'm a rockstar from the bottom of my heart
Bust up my lip while I smash a guitar
Bury me in pitch-black leather
I don't think it gets much better
I'm an outcast, yeah the fucking low-class
You play the part 'cause you think it's badass
Bury me in pitch-black leather
I'ma be this way forever

Back when Panic! Actually ripped, though
Now their concerts feel like a disco
Sick show
Anyway, I miss being kids, yo
I never skipped a track on their disc in my whip, no
Now these same bands only playing for bands
Y'all can sit the fuck down if you ain't taking a stance
Like, are you rock or Hallmark?
I know I'm in the ballpark
You say you're for the people then do promo with Walmart, bitch (sellouts)

I'm a rockstar from the bottom of my heart
Bust up my lip while I smash a guitar
Bury me in pitch-black leather
I don't think it gets much better
I'm an outcast, yeah the fucking low-class
You play the part 'cause you think it's badass
Bury me in pitch-black leather
I'ma be this way forever

When Green Day was gray
I miss Three Days Grace
MTV played hits
Avril Lavigne days
Now we got premade garbage from e-Bay
Is that a new song or did Spotify replay?
Goddamn it, this ain't a hate song
I'd go to war for rock with my paint on
I'd die tonight if kids heard what my generation was raised on
I just figured that I should say something, ('cause)

I'm a rockstar from the bottom of my heart
Bust up my lip while I smash a guitar
Bury me in pitch-black leather
I don't think it gets much better
I'm an outcast, yeah the fucking low-class
You play the part 'cause you think it's badass
Bury me in pitch-black leather
I'ma be this way forever

(Black leather)
I'ma be this way forever
(Black leather)
(Black leather)
(Black leather)
