My Response to an Article in Alternative Press |
The trick is playing trend rock right before the trend hits |
Playing it right after means your band has missed the |
Fucking bus and the kids have moved on |
Here’s the thing about the music business |
You can’t become an addict 'til you’re fucking 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 shitty band will stay poor |
Here’s the thing about a nail in a coffin |
It keeps that shit 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 shit that you do every night… |
35 bucks a ticket to hear another ironic 80s pop song cover? |
Yeah I love your stacked chest six pack you fucking punk |
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 |
