Propagandhi - Back to the Motor League lyrics
[Propagandhi - Back to the Motor League lyrics]
I like to party fucking hard
I like my rock and roll the same
Don't give a fuck if I burn out
Don't give a fuck if I fade away
So back to the Motor League with me
Before I'm forced to face the wrath
Of a well heeled buying public
Who live vicariously through
Tortured-artist college-rock and
Floor-punching macho pabulum
Back to the Motor League I go
Once thought I drew a lucky hand
Turned out to be a live grenade
(Oh my god, holy shit)
Of play-acting "anarchists"
And Mommy's-little-skinheads
Death-threats and sycophants
And wieners drunk on straight-edge
Fuck off! Who cares?
I'd rather hi-lite Trip Tiks than
Listen to your bullshit
Fuck off! Who cares?
About your stupid scenes, your shitty zines
The straw-men you build up to burn
Never ceases to amaze
And as I'm suffering your perfection it
Reminds me of my own race
To redress my own sad history of
Mouthed feet eaten hats
Teated bulls amish phone books
Drunken brawls
But what have we here? 15 years later
It still reeks of swill
And chickenshit conformists fists in the air
Like-father, like-son rebels bloated on Korn
Eminems and Bizkit's
Lord, hear our prayer
Take back your Amy Grant mosh-crews
And your fair-weather politics
Blow-dry my hair and stick me on a ten-speed
Back to the Motor League
I guess life is just a popularity contest
Success, just ability to perform within
A framework of obedience
Just ask the candy-coated Joy-Cam rock bands
Selling shoes for venture-capitalists
Silencing competing messages
Rounding off the jagged edges
(stock personnel, front checkouts
Front checkouts, stock personnel)
I like my rock and roll the same
Don't give a fuck if I burn out
Don't give a fuck if I fade away
So back to the Motor League with me
Before I'm forced to face the wrath
Of a well heeled buying public
Who live vicariously through
Tortured-artist college-rock and
Floor-punching macho pabulum
Back to the Motor League I go
Once thought I drew a lucky hand
Turned out to be a live grenade
(Oh my god, holy shit)
Of play-acting "anarchists"
And Mommy's-little-skinheads
Death-threats and sycophants
And wieners drunk on straight-edge
Fuck off! Who cares?
I'd rather hi-lite Trip Tiks than
Listen to your bullshit
Fuck off! Who cares?
About your stupid scenes, your shitty zines
The straw-men you build up to burn
