The Science of Selling Yourself Out |
| It’s hard to understand |
| Why you change your sound to get more fans |
| But you know that some would never sell at all |
| If they thought you were a ska band so you say |
| We’re not cool enough for your music video |
| We’re not cool enough for your fucking MTV |
| But wait, Mr. Record Exec |
| Don’t you hang that phone up yet |
| 'Cause we’re willing to compromise our integrity |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah |
| We’ll be a little more pop-punk |
| We’ll be a little less ska |
| It’s like we never had a trombone in the band at all |
| Woah |
| 'Cause all the kids like pop-punk |
| And nobody likes ska |
| It isn’t 1998 |
| Yeah |
| Wonder what it takes (wonder what it takes) |
| To make a deal with Less Than Jake |
| Did they say |
| We’ll get the Gilmore Girl for you |
| But you gotta promise, no more saxophone, guys, come on |
| Cut that shit out |
| But that video came out great (That video? came out okay) |
| Got on TRL for one whole day |
| And you know |
| That all your biggest fans today |
| Were definitely watching TRL in 2003 |
| We’re not cool enough for your music video |
| We’re not cool enough for your fucking MTV |
| But wait, Mr. Record Exec |
| Don’t you hang that phone up yet |
| 'Cause we’re willing to compromise our integrity |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah |
| We’ll be a little more pop-punk |
| We’ll be a little less ska |
| It’s like we never had a trombone in the band at all |
| Woah |
| 'Cause all the kids like pop-punk (meow) |
| And nobody likes ska |
| It isn’t 1998 |
| Yeah |
| We’re not cool enough for your music video |
| We’re not cool enough for your fucking MTV |
| But wait, Mr. Record Exec |
| Don’t you hang that phone up yet |
| We’re not cool enough for your music video |
| We’re not cool enough for your fucking MTV |
| But wait, Mr. Record Exec |
| Hold the phone, stop the press |
| 'Cause we’re willing to compromise our integrity |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah |
| We’ll be a little more pop-punk, woah |
| It’s like we never had a trombone in the band at all, woah |
| We’ll try to be less ska |
| Don’t you wish it were 1998, yeah |
