lyrics

It seems when you've got the things that they want
Everyone will always flock to you
The way it works out, it's like cashing your crop
It's the nicest thing to do
But when the time comes, when you're fucking stuck
They won't come to help you-
Go eat your heart out, they're just fucking rude

When you join your scene, they say to pay your dues
Their enthusiastic heart and ecofriendly canvas shoes
Gatekeep pretentiously while you're too fucking shy
They say "do it together," then they'll let you DIY

But I'm too ska for the punks,
And too punk for the rudies
Too optimistic for emo even though I'm moody
Too emo for the pop punk kids
Even though helped these fucking kids
They won't set a fucking show up even though they know me

It seems when you've got the things that they want
Everyone will always flock to you
The way it works out, it's like cashing your crop
It's the nicest thing to do
But when the time comes, when you're fucking stuck
They won't come to help you-
Go eat your heart out, they're just fucking

Pandering their consciousness, fake empathy abound
Bleeding hearts for the causes just to propagate their sound
Hipsters always seem to seek to appeal to something higher
But in the end, it seems they're always preaching to the choir

And if you're white, well that's not right
And if you're brown, then "fool, I'm down
To fight the racism and chauvinistic alt-right clowns-
Education's gone to my head, I'll speak for you to help you out"
When the fuck did I ask for you to put some words inside my mouth?

It seems when you've got the things that they want
Everyone will always flock to you
The way it works out, it's like cashing your crop
It's the nicest thing to do
But when the time comes, when you're fucking stuck
They won't come to help you-
Go eat your heart out, they're just fucking

Inconsiderate about the times that you have helped them out
Punk rock's really not about abusing your own fucking clout
