Metal-Talk

Brothers and sisters, we live in a troubled time
We live in a time when lack of ability and talent is mistaken for genius
When jumping on the bandwagon is considered originality
Ahh, we live in a time when a world intended, much needed musical revolution
Has been weakened, perverted, polluted, until it is no more than a hideous fashion show
A fashion show that began as a rebellion itself against corporate mainstream
Yet today it finds itself to be the very mainstream that it claimed to be alternative to
While the bands who would before criticize arena rock stars now find themselves arena rock stars!
What was once the antidote has now become the poison
The cure has become the disease
Ahh, let the church sing
Amen!!
(Congregation: Amen!!)

I remember the motto corporate rock sucks
Now I look at Green Day it must be payday
Ditto, ditto, could you please play a tune a little
Alternative nation talent must be on vacation
You say the underground is metal music now come take some lessons
Learn how to throw down
You little Weezer, you became a Breeder Filter
Through Gin and Blossom to begin

We're the alternative to the alternative, heavy is where it's at

Ahhh!
You become what you despise!

With your fake accent Rancid-smelling ass signing
Phat contracts but you tell me will it last
Yo let's burn a Bush, paint a Silverchair back to black ask me if I even care
We'll in Flame your Lips crack your Lemonhead blow up an Oasis Blind Melons
Dead and 120 Minutes of bitches sounding like
Crows Count them all before you start to blow!

We're the alternative to the alternative, heavy is where it's at

Ahhh!
You become what you despise!
