New Jersey Heroes

 

Growing up hook and nail,

off the record, setting sail

they said you were gunna save us

martyr yourself by writting bibles filled with slurs-

 

of wicked phrases, proses, poetry verses,

born out of vallium and cheap whiskey,

burning down the rabbit hole,

spinning the truth till your soul got sold,

 

Well you can't save the world,

can't catch your breath,

till you sign away your life

and make a w***e out of death

 

The kids that loved you will throw you out

(who are you now, backstabber, who are you now?)

building leagues of pretenders,

and turning into everything you wish you wouldn't

try to stop but you just couldn't

(who are you now, backstabber, who are you now?)

 

from indie heroes to arena idols,

false prophets, make believers, saints for grievers,

making money out of words that lost all meaning,

cashing cheques, getting rich deceiving.

 

The kids that loved you will throw you out

(who are you now, Rockstar, who are you now?)

building leagues of pretenders,

and turning into everything you wish you wouldn't

try to stop but you just couldn't

(who are you now, Rockstar, who are you now?)

 

My favourite jersey heroes,

beacons for a sound we've never heard

and crucified on mainstream

just suckers for the American Dream(c)

 

The kids that loved you will throw you out

(who are you now, mother f****r, who are you now?)

building leagues of pretenders,

and turning into everything you wish you wouldn't

try to stop but you just couldn't

(who are you now, mother f****r, who are you now?)

 

for eyeball records <3

This will be the next punk rock balad for all the disenfranchised kids...love it so much!
Best line is crucified on mainstream...that can be the album title ;)
This definately happens to so many bands...they start of on some crappy little indie label and really mean what they say, and then the mainstream grabs them by the throat, leaches onto their talent and completely drains them of everything they stand for. So sad. You really made your point with this one, I love the strength and assurance it demonstrates. Definately a favorite!
