Clear Channel Sucks

Mainstream radio's not dead
It just deserves to die
When it becomes another stale cartoon
A close-minded, self centered social club
Ideas don't seem to matter
It's who you know

If the music's gotten boring
It's because of the people
Who want everyone to sound the same

Who drive bright people out
Of their so called 'scene'
Til all that's left
Is just a meaningless fad

Hardcore formulas don't mean shit
Change and caring are what's real
Is this a state of mind
Or just another label?

The joy and hope of an "alternative"
Has become it's own cliche
A hairstyle is not a lifestyle
Imagine Eminem at 55

Who needs a scene
When you're scared to feel?
Judging everything
By rules written in rhyme

"Who played last night?"

"I don't know...
I forgot..
But diving off the stage
Was a lot of fun"

So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the same old mistakes
Again and again

Chickenshit conformist
Like your parents

What's ripped us apart even more than drugs
Are thieves and the motherfucking liars
Ripping people off when they share their stuff
When someone falls are there any friends?

Harder core than thou for a year or two
Then it's time to get a real job
Others stay home, it's no fun to go out
When the streets are wrecked
By gangs and thugs

When a thug rises from the streets
Look who gets record deals
From Detroit record labels looking to scam
Who sign the most racist queer bashing
Freaks they can find
To make a buck
Revving kids up for war

Walk tall, act small
Only as tough as gang approval
Unity is bullshit
When it's under someone's fat boot

Where's the common cause?
Too many factions
Safely sulk in their shells

Agree with us on everything
Or we won't help with anything
That kind of attitude
Just makes a split grow wider

So, guess who's laughing
While the world explodes?
When we're all cry babies
Who fight amongst ourselves

So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the same old mistakes
Again and again

Chickenshit conformist
Like your parents

Shedding thin skin too quickly
Crying about relationships are a bore
Or maybe you could be
Just a little more clever?
And can't you sing about something
Other than yourself?

As a fan it disappoints me
Same old stupid, "let's go fuck"
Type of lyrics
Or is satan all you can think of?

"Crossover" is just another word for
Lack of ideas
Maybe what we need
Are more trolls under the bridge

Will the teeny boppers
Finally learn something?
Or will the punks
Throw away their education?

No one's ever the best
Once they believe their own press
"Maturing" don't mean rehashing
Mistakes of the past

So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the same old mistakes
Again and again

Chickenshit conformist
Like your parents

The more things change
The more they stay the same
We can't grow
When we won't criticize ourselves

The eighties were a failure
And the nineties seemed to suck
As the clock ticks on
We dig the same hole

Music scenes aren't real life
They won't get rid of the bombs
Won't eliminate rape
Or bring down the banks
Any kind of change
Takes real time and work
Than changing channels on a t.v. set

So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the same old mistakes
Again and again

Chickenshit conformist
Like your parents
