Five Iron Frenzy
Handbook For The Sellout
[Verse 1]
You found a way, to draw a line
Between the world and you
Faking your identity it's true
Did you think the word "alternative"
Was only meant for the likes of you?
Do you think that they're too cool now?
Being popular is lame
You're the one who made them popular
All their songs are still the same
[Verse 2]
You found them first
It made you stand apart, you know?
But then everyone jumped on the same bandwagon
Making you an average Joe
A lemming for the mediocre
You were just a plain old joker, status quo
Blame it on the band now
If you prick them do they bleed?
What's the point in playing what they want
If you won't let them succeed?
[Chorus]
Do you remember where we all came from?
Do you remember what it's all about?
When you made a point to be objective
Before you started writing Handbook for the Sellout?
[Verse 3]
You sunk your worth in being different
Just to be like your own kind
You traded in objectiveness
For the underground you follow blind
[Chorus]
Do you remember where we all came from?
Do you remember what it's all about?
When you made a point to be objective
Before you started writing Handbook for the Sellout?
