My new band missed out on the latest trend
We played KBD when goth was in
We'll do post punk when ska is back again
Tell me when this struggle will end
My wardrobe is full with useless clothes
My band T-shirts are not in vouge
We only get to play the unhip shows
Booked by some loser who nobody knows
At night, at night I dream of a social media hype
Just a little blurb that will make everything feel all-right
"They are fresh and exciting and the drummer is so tight"
All of a sudden we are in the spotlight
I will take to the dancefloor like Barton Fink
People will ask me what I think
They'll buy our merch and give me drinks
I will be forgiven if I throw up in your sink
I will get laid and I will get paid
Distros will ask us for more than trades
All my other bands will ride this wave
