Kill Your Idols

There was a time that I recall
Walking past a fellow punk in the mall
Our eyes met and we both knew the deal
Each of us knowing how the other would feel
Nowadays we size each other up
Looks of contempt replace a friendly "Whats up?"
Not sure whos real and whos living a lie
Turning a lifestyle into something you buy
What happened to the feelings we once had (From companionship to competition)
Standing up against the things that make us mad (From companionship to competition)
It supposed to be a lifestyle, not a fad (From companionship to competition)
And when youre gone the ones who live it will be glad
There was a time I remember like yesterday
When all the bands had something to say
We worked together and we got things done
We played together and the shows were fun
Nowadays its just who you know
Strategic moves, got to play the "right" show
What ever look sells the most CDs
Selling out to get on MTV
What happened to the feelings we once had (From companionship to competition)
Standing up against the things that make us mad (From companionship to competition)
It supposed to be a lifestyle, not a fad (From companionship to competition)
And when youre gone the ones who live it will be glad
Dont want my, dont want my, dont want my MTV
Dont want my, dont want my, dont want my MTV
