For the Krishnacore Bands The Mountain Goats

You stuck by the scene, but did the scene stick by you?
In a few cases, yes, maybe in one or two
You routinely got called out by Maximum Rock and Roll
And you weren't ever gonna fit in at the Fireside Bowl

And back in the day punks
Practically declaring war
As if there were anything
More orthodox then hardcore
As if there were anything more orthodox then hardcore

You stuck to your guns when you were running out of ammo
Even on package tours supporting metalcore guys in cammo
Find more common threads then you'd expect to in these places
Always see the holy name, light up a few new faces

And back in the day punks
Still with plenty of shit to stay
Covertly cashing in
On dead stock of your early demos on eBay

But where were they on the night you first shaved your head?
Drinking beer in a field some place with all creation overhead
And where were they when they locals were ganging up on you?
Lining up to join some nearly identical crew
