[Verse]
C G
Honestly I don't know who to blame,
Am F
Is it the bands or the fans or the brands
C
Or the way the light hits the kids
G Am F
In the pit not too far from the stage?
C G
You're leeches, you're all fucking liars,
Am F
I've watched you suck blood like your beloved vampires
C G Am F
Hit the road to meet all of the souls you saved.
C G
Nihilistic minors, drowned in black eyeliner,
Am
Jump into the fire
F C
'Cause we heard it's cool to burn
G Am F
C
It's SDC up in this shit,
Been that bitch,
G
Been lit since I had an emo fringe
Am
Yes, emo kids, tired of it,
F
Headphones in like
''Whatcha sellin' mister?''
C G
Well our demographic research just came in,
Am F
We've found ourselves a brand new target audience!
C G
To meet our quota this year we need
Am F
To market shit to suicidal preteens, but I mean...
C
Who asked for a diss track on a trend that
G Am
Built its reputation on big bands
Who were big fans of the children
F
Emptying their pockets for the man in the tight pants
C
But oh, he kissed her scars, did he?
G
He made the hard easy
Am
He packed it up,
F
Went on a hundred city tour, did he?
C
Now you wait in line for it,
G
It just blows your mind, don't it?
Am F
Up past your bedtime with a sharpie making signs for it
C G
It says,'Real bands save fans'
Am F
You watched our money change hands
C G
Grown man he's willing to chance it
Am F
That lifestyle's just too romantic
C G
Honestly, I don't know who to blame
Am F
Is it the bands or the fans or the brands
C
Or the way the light hits the kids
G Am F
In the pit not too far from the stage?
C G
Feels just like magic on a nightmare mind
Am F C
When they give you a metaphor to hide it behind
G
We waited in line,
Am
Gave 'em t-shirts to sign
F
Said you're saving my life
C G
Nihilistic minors, drowned in black eyeliner,
Am
Hold up your phones and lighters
F
You've got plenty of time to be
C G Am F
The kind of lovely the big kids sing about
C G Am
But you better, not get better
F C G Am F
Or else you'll be left out......
