lyrics

I woke up this morning
And I’m feeling like
I gotta hella bad head
But I know I’m right,
Coz I’m gonna play
The inner west
With 4 of the best,
Feel my heart beat right out of my chest,

Now we’re rockin the suburbs
With our hands and our words,
We play just like our lives depend
To a family we call our friends,
And we’re sick,
We’re broke
From not being taken seriously,
Our contribution is our revolution,
We won’t play for you for free.

We play only to the sound guy
Like we play to ten thousand and thirty-five,
10 bucks a beer,
5 grand worth of gear,
“Sorry your sound just isn’t right for here,
We wont advertise your show,
It’s up to you all to promote!”,
Maybe we’re fighting for a dying cause,
Maybe punk rock just isn’t what it was.

It matters not your skill, your heart,
If you’ve got the right connections you’ve got the part,
Wouldn’t it be grand
If our job was to take a stand?
On a stage
We would say what mattered,
This is sadly not the case,
We work like chumps in office space,
Denying our souls
Our freedom of expression,
Instead we work for fat cats
And big corporations,
We’re corporate shills
Living in a capitalist shell!

We make our scene
So stand tall and scream -
‘It depends on us,
Time to get tough,
Support What You Love,
It’ll be enough.
Just go to a show
Sing the words you know ,
Just don’t let the bastards get you down,
We’re the ones who pick you up
When you fall down in the crowd.
Feel what you say
And make sure you say it loud!

SUPPORT WHAT YOU LOVE.
