All The New Poisons

I saw you laughin' at pictures in magazines,

starlings from way back when you were a kid

and like everyone did you worshipped them till the end

Then two albums later came short-haired invaders

and Flannel kicked Leather's ass

You cursed what you knew was once to be true

and tried to light Metal with gas

And the Poseurs are now laughing

as the Circle of Fads spins again

and now you dress like my old math teacher

Starling - I remember Metal Kings

Starling - Don't forget the Metal Kings

Hey, were you guessin' that this history lesson

would not have a chapter for me?

Yes it's true, I'm not terribly cool

but I don't have a plan to be

All the new Poisons just have different toys

and they all play their part perfectly

Albeit cooler, my Rockathon Ruler measures a small victory

Nothing's ever wrong that's real

And fakebooks can't show you how to feel

But it's over for me on the day my stomach's full

JADED!

And they'll say that we're not cool enough

when fashion has left us behind

And we'll just laugh and forget what year it is
