lyrics

We survive in our own basements and garages
So don’t act like you’re doing some favor for me
The punks started this scene from nothing.
Don’t kid yourself
We don’t need you, you need us
‘Cause even if the city shuts down house shows
We’ll just buy a generator and we’ll play in the woods
We got skate parks, record stores, and punk squats
You say that your club has the draw but it’s our fans who pay at the door

We may just be some dumb punk band
With shitty gear, young rowdy fans
But underground is where we thrive
Go shut your doors and we’ll still survive

Why do you exist, to help DIY or your own pocket?
You charge 8 dollars at the door
Treat local bands like your personal whores
You think you’re in charge?
Lets see how long you last when the music’s gone
Go over charge someone else for a beer, ‘cause we ain’t gonna play again here

So we hail, venues who actually care
And treat our fans with some respect
Not act like they pulled us out of the dreck
‘Cause we don’t need
Your helping hands masking your greed
Your big fancy stage just ain’t for us, shove your 8 dollar cover charge up your ass

This song goes out to everyone who a venue’s taken advantage of
They use you just to make a buck then treat you like some fucking jerk
We don’t mean anything to them, we’re just some stupid musicians
So tell us all about their kind, we’ll boycott them and we’ll still survive
