Summer time and promoters get sleazy Summer time, corporate bands get greedy When they play arena shows with $7 bottle waters A whole weeks paycheck to take your son or daughter Dead Kennedys, bought a ticket to see Jello, But he wasnt there and I was like, Hello? k** k** k** the poor punk rock anthem Then I went to see Sublime and I was like, Damn son! Sublime with Rome is not the same thing as Sublime Sublime with Rome was depressing and did not feel right (Its not the same! Its not the same!) The with Rome part was printed too small (I saw the name, Im not to blame) I thought it might be cool, but I was wrong I paid fifty bucks to go and see the Wu, But ODBs son kept missing all the cues Plus Raekwons mic kept going in and out When did ripping off the fans become what music was about? A Nirvana reunion? They never would do it because the band was Kurt and everyone knew it When MCA died yo the Beastie Boys said, Thats it were done Now make some noise! (You know!) Sublime with Rome is not the same thing as Sublime Should have stayed at home or at least been charged 1/3rd the price (Its not the same!) It seemed like a good idea at the time you know (Its not the same!) theyre down to only one original guy My seat is miles from the stage sitting up in the back row Rome was born in 88 so now Im feeling hella old the Dalmatians spots seem painted on this band Ive always meant to see Live Nation Santeria on my adolescent memories Just like the Misfits (its not the same) Or Guns N Roses (its not the same) or Black Flag (its not the same) Posthumously half-reunited bands are so disappointing! Sublime with Rome is not the same thing as Sublime Sex Pistols, Alice in Chains, it pains me that they cant retire (Its not the same! Its not the same!) Its not the same thing as Sublime (Its not the same! Its not the same!) Its not the same thing as Sublime Well at least their tour t-shirts are reasonably priced.
