The music business is a business centered squarely on all the deadliest sins. Taking the easy way in is letting go of your conscience and who you are as a person; emptying your cup inside so that they may mold you in your image and replace your heart with a battery. I will not be the Mouth of Sauron. No... I will kill the status quo.
Everybody wants to hear a pretty song
Sung for all the perfect pretty people
"Sell the millions for the millionaires
Don't you know this is a numbers game?"
Everybody's gotta wanna sing along
Play it back again, just drop the needle
For all your visions nobody will care
'Cause to them it all just sounds the same
But I will
Yes I will
Kill the status quo
And condemn the things I already know
Every single day is another lesson learned
Snuff your point of view
I'll give it all I've got till my life is through
And if I fail, I will fail on my own terms
Everybody wants to see a pretty face
Singing for the perfect pretty people
"Cut your hair and get a tan, boy
You should've already lost that weight"
Everybody's gonna take a look at me
A perfect body will be what they want to see
Nobody cares who wrote their favorite song
Just so long as they are looking great
But I will
Yes I will
Kill the status quo
And condemn the things I already know
Every single day is another lesson learned
Snuff your point of view
I'll give it all I've got till my life is through
And if I fail, I will fail on my own terms
This life ain't rainbows and sunshine
I'm not going away till I get mine
I don't care if you like it or not
Time never takes anyone's side
It only exists within our minds
So I'll make the best of what I've got
I will
I will
Kill the status quo
And condemn the things I already know
Every single day is another lesson learned
Snuff your point of view
I'll give it all I've got till my life is through
And if I fail, I will fail on my own terms
My
Own
Terms
