Verse:(ska-rhythm)
You found a way to draw a line.
Between the world and you.
Faking your identity it's true. Did
you think the word alternative,
was only meant for the likes of you?
Pre-Chorus:
Do you think that they're too cool now?
Being popular is lame.
You're the one that made them popular,
all their songs are still the same.
Verse:
You found them first, it made you
stand apart, you know? But then
everyone jumped on the same
bandwagon, making you an
average Joe. A lemming for the
mediocre, you were just a plain
old joker, status quo.
Pre-Chorus:
Blame it on the band now. If you prick them
do they bleed? What's the point in
playing what they want, if you
want let them succeed?
Chorus:
Do you remember where we all
came from? Do you remember
what it's all about? When you
made a point to be objective,
before you started writing
Handbook for the Sellout?

Pre-Chorus:
You sunk your worth in being

for the underground you follow blind
