Ballast

Youre right up front/you know all the words/youre very good at playing at em passioned and concerned/point your righteous finger at imaginary foes/less talk, more rock/because we already know/but no, after the gig I can see/you havent learned a thing/devoid of sincerity/youre just as bad as them/if were pointing fingers/Im pointing mine at you/youre so full of big talk but what do you do/you wasted your potential/you pissed your youth away/youre just a fashion victim/who has nothing to say/no, after the gig I can see you/you havent learned a thing/devoid of sincerity/youre just as bad as them/what would you say and who would you be/without your prefabricated punk rock identity/fashionably jaded, thinly veiled racist/hipster parasite, drunken date, rapist/play the role theyve handed you oh so fucking well/say you hate the mainstream, but cant you see it in yourself/think youre protected by that shroud of irony but all your drunken posturing doesnt mean shit to me/you fill me with your revulsion, make me want to gag/with every faggot joke you make and every ass you grab/not concerned with much besides your bitching punk rock hair/someday were going to change this world/I hope you wont be there
