lyrics

Victim of the Mainstream (by Andy Spickler)

Why do we take advice
from those who don't know
the pain and sacrifice
that goes into our show
oh no...

We never asked for your opinion
It's dubious you even have one of your own
Another victim of the mainstream
You're here today, but you're gone tomorrow

We aren't perfunctory
We'd like to wake you up
Why just aim to please
When we can call your bluff...enough

We never asked for your opinion
It's dubious you even have one of your own
Another victim of the mainstream
You're here today, but you're gone tomorrow

Stupid is as stupid does
behind the scenes ain't close enough
so pack your stuff and get our of our way

You're just a victim of the mainstream
all your opinions, they were shaped by marketing
It doesn't matter if your hair's green
You're hear today and you're gone tomorrow
