Lyrics

Take your place!
A-bout face!
Where once stood convictions in
Things you would say
There now stands restrictions
Your mind sold away
You once were a symbol of
True strength and heart
But now you're a warning of
Where the sickness starts
You stood there and preached
Independence and faith
You talked of commitment then
Made an about face
Take your place!
A-bout face!
I hope you enjoy that parade of fools
"Dude, we made $15,000 on tour..
If we don't make $40,000 next time
I'll be fully bummed..
I mean why should we play
To scumbags anyway?
We're on our way to the top!"
(Who cares!!!)
You insist that it's progress to
Cut out your heart
Then post it for hire and claim
That it's art
But freedom of statement is what art's about
Not softened commitments designed
To please the crowd
Beliefs and convictions are on show today
If you won't present your's sit down
And take your place!
