Down In Flames
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You don't know me
But here I am in your living room
You don't own me
But you paid and that means a lot to you, well
You never listen, but I now that's what you think that you do
And everybody wants to change
But this time it'll be the same
Watch us go down in flames
It's alright, it's okay
It was gonna happen anyway
We had our chance, we made our point
But you're not gonna take that
Radio, commercials
TV shows and front page ads
Photos and interviews
Well, they'll make sure it's the latest fad
Pay attention 'cuz you know you'll have to pay either way
And they tell you that it's the new thing
But we know that it hasn't changed
Watch us go down in flames
It's alright, it's okay
It was gonna happen anyway
We had our chance, we made our point
But you're not gonna take that away, away, away, away
When this blows over
And the mainstream coughs up another shell
Will you let us back in your underground?
Well, I guess that's a no and it's just as well 'cuz
You never supported us, all you wanted was to see us fail
And they tell me that's it's the new thing
So I better get out of the way
Watch us go down in flames
It's alright, it's okay
It was gonna happen anyway
We had our chance, we made our point
But you're not gonna take that
'Cuz it's alright, it's okay
It was gonna happen anyway
We had our chance, we made our point
But you're not gonna take that away
You're not gonna take that away
You're not gonna take that away
You're not gonna take that away
