Tempest in a teapot

You think you know about it
You're fucking narrow-minded
You get on everyone for selling out

But here's the truth about it
We work for everything we've got
This ain't a hobby, it's a fucking job

Hey ho! This is a warning call
We'll take your words and eat them up and shit them down your throat
Hey ho! Leave your thoughts at the door
Who cares if its successful, it's still punk rock
Just shut up and let it go!

(ohh oh oh)
And the story goes, anything that's cool is not hardcore anymore
Don't beat a living horse, you're tearing down what you could never score
and less ain't more!

You're talking shit to people
when you can't do what they do
Get on the stage and put your music where your mouth is

You're preaching non-conformity
But you all look the same to me
If we're all posers well then what the fuck does that make you?

Hey ho! This is a warning call
We'll take your words and eat them up and shit them down your throat
Hey ho! Leave your thoughts at the door
Who cares if its successful, it's still punk rock
Just shut up and let it go!

(ohh oh oh)
And the story goes, anything that's cool is not hardcore anymore
Don't beat a living horse, you're tearing down what you could never score
and less ain't more!

We survive on bread and water!
All we think about is our next meal
When we try to make an honest living,
what makes you think we give a fuck about your "punk" ideals?

(ohh oh oh)
And the story goes, anything that's cool is not hardcore anymore
Don't beat a living horse, you're tearing down what you could never score!
