There was a time that I recall Walking past a fellow punk in the mall Our eyes met and we both knew the deal Each of us knowing how the other would feel Nowadays we size each other up Looks of contempt replace a friendly "What's up?" Not sure who's real and who's living a lie Turning a lifestyle into something you buy What happened to the feelings we once had (From companionship to competition) Standing up against the things that make us mad (From companionship to competition) It supposed to be a lifestyle, not a fad (From companionship to competition) And when you're gone the ones who live it will be glad There was a time I remember like yesterday When all the bands had something to say We worked together and we got things done We played together and the shows were fun Nowadays it's just who you know Strategic moves, got to play the "right" show What ever look sells the most CD's Selling out to get on MTV What happened to the feelings we once had (From companionship to competition) Standing up against the things that make us mad (From companionship to competition) It supposed to be a lifestyle, not a fad (From companionship to competition) And when you're gone the ones who live it will be glad Don't want my, don't want my, don't want my MTV Don't want my, don't want my, don't want my MTV
