about

Remember when the stars had raw talent?

lyrics

The industry
They're telling me
It's 'bout the dames
'Bout the fame
Shiny things
Diamond chains
Platinum rings
Who cares what you sing in the song
As long as you wear the right clothes?
Play along
Catchy name
We'll put you on
You don't even to write your songs
Cuz the way we see it
As long as they believe it
You don't have to G it
You don't have to be it
The lifestyle brings trouble
We don't need it
Here's a contract
Sign on the dotted line
You don't need to read it
No one else can beat it
Here's your last chance
For a fat cash advance
Slam the pedal to the metal
And dance with the devil

You know it
..and you know it
We've all been had
You're poker face shows it
I need to get out
This ain't what I'm about
But they pull me back in foe
I know it
I don't love Mrs. Right
But I'ma go wit' it.
Do what you do
Keep it movin' dude
You thinking with your dick
And wanna hit it
You're coming up thin
But you won't admit it
Fakers and microphony homies
Your consolation prize
Explosive trophy and like Frosty say,
"I'll be back again someday."
You call for help
Then the heat comes out
You start to melt
Live by the sword
So die by the gun
They came the pen, the pencil won
Got quiet a second
To insert a hidden message
(.yrtsudni eht kcuF)


There's no conceivable way
It's impossible
To beat our team
We're unstoppable.
You try to get in the way
Unworthy obstacle
We're choppin' chumps up
Silly debacle
Absolute below zero
I know you're freezin' to death
My heart's so cold
I can see breath
One more mistake
And there'll be nothing left
To send home to mom
Drop bombs on your lawn
You're so fresh to death
You used to rock the house
Before I burned it down
Before I blew you up
And it must suck
To be stuck with a label
I still put my heart on the table
And say what I want to say
Cuz I chose freedom and health
Over fame and wealth

You got so many words
But nothin' to say
You got the whole club
Swayin' to ya cliche
How can you stand this land of technology
Now that everybody's got a band?
Your drums are not real
They're slid on the grid
You have no feel
Let's seal the deal
Welcome to your doom
Now you have to play live
Without autotune
There's no beat detection
No pitch correction
PC infection
Unknown exception
Music lost all its passion
Record labels selling weak songs
Pushing the latest fashion
I've outgrown that bad fad
But you're the only trend I ever had
Better off traded traitor
Drown in style with the alligators
