Reply #13: At the moment, "Rock For Sustainable Capitalism" by Propagandhi [View All]

[ghostsofgiants]

I fuckin' love that one rock video where
That fucking jack-ass mohawked millionaire prances around by far the worst sausage party on earth,
Where by mere chance he's caught on film shaking hands
With an incredibly diverse collection of patriotic skins
I like the message it sends (that fucking goof):
With a rebel yell, just do exactly what you're told. One million douche bags can't be wrong
When did punk rock become so safe?
You'll excuse me if I laugh in your face as I itemize your receipts and PowerPoint your balance sheets
I hear this year's Vans Warped Tour is "going green!"
I guess they heard that money grows on trees
Hope they ship all those shitty bands overseas like they did their factories
Music's power to describe, compel, renew
It's all a distant second to the offers you can't refuse
Remember when we used to believe
That music was a sacred place and not some fucking bank machine?
Not something you just bought and sold
How could we have been so naive?
Well, I think when all is said and done,
Just cause we were young, it don't mean we were wrong
And I'll rock back and forth on this two-bit hobbyhorse
'Til she splinters and gives way
I'll tend the flowers by her grave
And whisper her name
If anyone out there understands, can I please see a show of hands?
Just so I know I'm not insane
Ever get the feeling you've been played?
Well, that's rock for sustainable capitalism and you know,
We may face a scorched and lifeless earth,
But they're accountable to their shareholders first
That's how the world works
