Despise (Demo)

Brothers and sisters, we live in a troubled time

We live in a time when a lack of ability

And talent is mistaken for genius

Where jumping on a bandwagon is considered originality (oh, yeah)

And when whiny pseudo-angst is disguised as honesty

Oh, we live in a time when a well-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 an alternative to

Oh, like, like a happy, snorting, wallowing soul, the corporate side of alternative music

Now embraces every ideal it once smugly sought that to be beneath its so-called integrity

Oh, but the bands who would before criticize arena rock stars

Now find themselves arena rock stars, bands who refer to others as posers

Should now have that epithet tattooed on their fuckin' head

Indeed, brothers and sisters, what was once the antidote has now become the poison

(It's the poison brothers) The cure has become the disease

Brothers, I am telling you now, the invader has become the imitator

The invaders are no longer the innovators, they are now and forever imitators

Wrong doers to the truth? They'll finish! Their fuel (oh) Their fuel

Let the church say, Amen (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

I'll give you the best, hooked on some mollies at poly

You little Weezer, you became a Breeder

Filter through the Gin and Blossom to begin

We're the alternative to the alternative

Metal is where it's at

We're the alternative to the alternative

Hardcore is where it's at (yeah)

You become what you despise! (Yeah, yeah)

You become what you despise!

With your fake accent Rancid-smelling ass

Signing phat contracts, you tell me will it last

Let's burn a Bush, paint a Silver hair

Back to black ask me if I even care

Will you fade your Lips crack your Lemon head

Blow up an Oasis Blind Melons dead

An hour and 20 Minutes of sucker someone like Crows

Count them all before you start to blow!

We're the alternative to the alternative

Hardcore is where it's at

We're the alternative to the alternative

Heavy is where it's at (yeah)

You become what you despise! (Yeah, yeah)

You become what you despise! (Yeah)

You become what you despise! (Yeah, yeah)

You become what you despise!

You guys, you guys wanna make money, right?

I mean, that's why we're all in this business right

To make some money

But before you answer that, let me explain

Without making some compromises here and there, there's no six zero

I mean you know the band like Silverhair, they thought it's time to go

Then you got that bushy band, I mean, they saw that fear jam band zone

They saw the success, and they were reminded, so they just made some adjustment

I mean that's all it is, I mean when I saw the guys will change the band

Metal is where it's at

We're the alternative to the alternative

Hardcore is where it's at

We're the alternative to the alternative

Metal is where it's at

We're the alternative to the alternative

Hardcore is where it's at (yeah)

You become what you despise! (Yeah, yeah)

You become what you despise! (Yeah)

You become what you despise! (Yeah, yeah)

You become what you despise! (Yeah, yeah)

Besides, you can't keep playing this heavy, you know

Heavy metal, headbanging shit forever, you know

You guys have got to start making the decisions of where you're going with this
