Bomb The Music Industry! - My Response To An Article In Alternative Press lyrics

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 f**ing bus and the kids have moved on Here's the thing about the music business You can't become an addict 'til you're f**ing 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 sh**ty band will stay poor Here's the thing about a nail in a coffin It keeps that sh** 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 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 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 Safe If it's playing what you're into even though it's not the current trend S-A-F-E, we play it safe If it's trying not to be boring to keep the audience interested S-A-F-E, we play it safe If it's making music that we like instead of what some label says S-A-F-E, we play it safe But if it's pulling this sh** that you do every night... You're playing it safe, you're playing it safe You're playing it safe You play, you play You play, you play You're playing it safe, you're playing it safe You're playing it safe You play, you play You play, you play You play, you play You play, you play You play, you play You play, you play
