Me and my friends, we set up shows for the bands we like best, and not who's sold the most
And it's fucking awesome to get to support and watch the music we love and I think the bands love us
'Cause it feels amazing and the end of the night to pour the donations hat out on their feet and look 'em up in the eye and say good luck and good-bye
After three slices of pizza and three DVDs, they're off to the next town, wherever that may be
And sometimes that seems so romantic and free and magic to be travelling, playing music, and singing
But for me it's even more awesome to stay, 'cause I really love this town and I work at a job I don't hate
Nowadays a sell-out can get the benefit of the doubt, but all the talked-about artists roll a style that's played out
Yes, it's too bad such assholes set up the shows that they play at, but hey I'm just glad they're no longer begging to play at my house
