this is it, my one shot at the big time,
  better make it count, stand up and be heard,
  cause i know if the radio plays this song
  all the kids will buy it and i won't be cool anymore.
  i've been doing this for the last twelve years,
  through all the times when no one cared.
  now everybody wants a piece of me,
  sign on the dotted line,
  make what's theirs is mine.
  it'll make you rich you'll see
  and there's a million more just like me.
  i don't care what's cool anymore,
  who am i to say if you can't make that decision on your own
  then you're pretty fucking dumb anyway.
  generation, no motivation, remote controls and mtv,
  a generation that hypnotized lulled by repetitious lies.
  spoonfed all of their corporate pro-gramming.
  i'm not a one hit wonder looking to get rich.
  i'm not trying to sell out my songs.
  i was here before they exploited this scene
  and i'll be here when they're dead and fucking gone.
