This is the 7th song of the album Self Entitled by NOFX.

One of the best songs on the record [“Cell Out”] I wrote in my head on the train ride from Hollywood to Santa Ana. I told our drummer: “Oh, we have another song to record.” And he’s...
[Verse 1]
She asked me if I was a singer, then called me has-been
She said she really liked my band in the early '90s, oh yeah
I said stop saying those mean things, my ego is so fragile
And then she called me a poseur punk
Why don't I drink up and get the hell out
'Cause I'm a sellout
[Verse 2]
That berating kinda bumped me out, so I left the parkside
I walked to my Volvo and noticed I had a couple slashed tires, oh no

[Outro]
It says on the side of my car
That I'm a sellout
I play a Korean guitar
But I'm a sellout
I'm a sellout
I'm a sellout
Cell Out was written by Eric Melvin & Fat Mike.
Cell Out was produced by Bill Stevenson.
