It's generic imitators

Ruin music, steal the billboards

We're too weird for airplay

The genre's not what we say

Conform and do it my way

Think about the money

I saw you a week before you split the scene

You smoked a bowl before the show and then you lost your keys

You said you loved our song and that you'd share us back

You're just a blacksheep with no home who plays the phantom act

It's generic imitators

Ruin music, steal the billboards

Sign your contract then betray us

Damn generic imitators

We are never on brand

Til we play this weekend

Hell if it makes a difference

When you're in a rock band

Why can't we get shows with a guarantee

You got door guy, sound guy, venue fees

Buy our homemade shirts, and yeah of course they're cheap

Then tip us while you're at it cause the gas ain't free

It's generic imitators

Ruin music, steal the billboards

Sign your contract then betray us

Damn generic imitators

It's generic imitators

Ruin music, steal the billboards

Sign your contract then betray us

Damn generic imitators

Oh

Oh

Oh

Ahhhhhhh!

Who's playing video games while we're recording? (Sorry!)

Never mind the guys who say they make the deals

They'll seduce you with their suits and pay for five star meals

Sign you up quick before you raise the price

Then they make you play dumb songs that you didn't write

It's generic imitators

Ruin music, steal the billboards

Sign your contract then betray us

Damn generic imitators

We're generic imitators

Ruin music, steal the billboards

Sign our contract then betray ya

Damn generic imitators
