My Response to an Article in Alternative Press Bomb the Music Industry!

Here's the thing about the music business
The trick is playing trend rock right before the trend hits
Playing it right after means your band has missed the
Fucking bus and the kids have moved on

Here's the thing about the music business
You can't become an addict 'til you're fucking famous
If you do it backwards it just means your rent will
Be overdue and you'll have to keep a day job

Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
All so different, I say you're all the same
Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
S-A-F-E, you play it safe

Here's the thing about the music business
Ten thousand records isn't much if you consider the budget
Your promo, your parties, payola
Insures that your shitty band will stay poor

Here's the thing about a nail in a coffin
It keeps that shit shut while it's six feet under
And zombies no one cares about don't get a chance to
Rise from the dead and make a VH1 special

And if I'm wrong I'll shut my mouth
