Protest The Hero, Todd Kowalski - Underbite lyrics

So how you fucking feeling tonight?
We’re (insert name here) from unimportant
And I’m about to mimic some image of a rock
And roll singer I have under lock and key
Without the faintest hint of irony
That I’m flashing my pearly whites
To sustain my mediocrity
So is everyone having a good time tonight?
Good, I’m glad
(I couldn’t actually care less)
You guys are the best crowd
That we’ve ever seen
Seen with these old dead eyes
Blind to the stage or even my own lies

So hey ho, let’s go let’s start this
Contemptible "rock" show
Blinding lights to hide the hand up
Our ass in this puppet-sock show
Two sewn on eyes, re-purposed and made new
Torn from an aging suit for
A sense of déjà vu
Thumb under bite i bite my fucking thumb
And hope you catch a thread
And slowly come undone

An illusion seldom spoken an understanding
Between you and I
That the ground that you stand on
Is somehow less than mine
An allusion to a broken home
Left on the street and chilled to the bone
So hey we still feeling good?
Now you comprehend our
Complex relationship consumer consumed
You’re just some stupid kid
And I’m a megalomaniac

Shedding defenses for an honest creation
Placing yourself in the stocks on the strap
You’re disgracing your effort by
Conforming to textbook
Performance of music to fill in the gaps
And it’s bullshit it’s bullshit be honest
This can’t be what you wanted
If what you write about means anything to you
Rather than pure vanity
People might connect with sincerity
Don’t just pray the next generation
Learns from our mistakes
Let’s not repackage the same old performance
Original content is so much more rewarding
Let’s not repackage the same old performance
Original content is so much more rewarding
I know that it might be quite cliche
But, if all the world is in fact a stage
Then this stage this here goddamn stage
Might just be all the world
