news flash no one owns this scene
i'm sorry but you're not the boss of me
you might not have hands down my pockets
but you like to make sure they stay empty
if you keep me beaten down and desperate
then i might be forced to need your help
so you'll have something to hold over me
and when you're done, throw me back up on the shelf
our little scene is an open source
nobody owns it it's all of ours of course
it's not the cover charge and it's not the t-shirts
it's about playing your set with everything you're worth
you make it looks like you get alot done
you're about the numbers and not the fun
booking flights on your tenuous power trip
only ever lookin out for number one
we've been there to see a scene when it dies
it just fades out and no one even knows why
i guess we'll finally see who gives a fuck
and we'll finally see who really sucks
this open source is starting to scab over
and it can fall apart
we need to branch out and help each other
we need to show some heart
