By All Means

(Right now!)
Build it up to tear it down!
There's no where left to play now
The places that we loved now answer to deceit! (to deceit!)
What's a scene? What's a scene when it's pre-sold and mismatched? (woah oh oh oh oh)
What's a scene? What's a scene when it's run like a business?
Pull the strings sitting in a tiny office calling bands
Wise up! Selling tickets to the friends instead of fans
Your prized musicians couldn't cut it even if they had the chance
pack the place, who gives a shit?
Help You! Help Me!
There's too much profit to be made
Not Now! Not Me!
Can't put a price on my dignity
The mask that's worn is quite convincing
Until you see the back side of the head
Growing bands is just a front for growing wallets (growing wallets)
Dominate, dominate 'til there's no independence (woah oh oh oh oh)
Dominate, dominate! Pay to cover the difference (when you've sold nothing at all)
Slap a sticker on what you've never experienced yourself
Run the scene like an amusement park that's broken down
You've never played, you've never been around the sweat and blood that runs this state
pack the place, who gives a shit?
Help You! Help Me!
There's too much profit to be made
Not Now! Not Me!
Can't put a price on my dignity
You can't tame what shouldn't be caged
Oh, who the fuck do you think you are?
You might have won the battle this time
but you won't win the war!
Help You! Help Me!
There's too much profit to be made
Not Now! Not Me!
Can't put a price on my dignity
