Lyrics

The metal scene has gone to piss

The metal music scene is in a bad state.

Boneheads lead the way

Unintelligent or close-minded individuals are leading the way in the metal scene.

Playing fast because It's in

Bands play fast music just because it's popular.

And then they go away Instead of kicking major butt They start to slow it down

Instead of being powerful and aggressive, they slow down their music.

Bringing back the 70's

Some bands are reviving the music style of the 1970s.

I hate these fucking clowns

The speaker strongly dislikes these musicians.

You sold us out without a doubt

Accusation of betrayal without a doubt.

You changed your future plans

They changed their original plans for the future.

You played the game, you've got your fame

They played the game of fame and now have insincere fans.

And your phony fans

Criticism of the band's fake supporters.

The pinhead movement loves their songs

A sarcastic reference to fans who blindly adore certain bands.

These bands can do no wrong

The mentioned bands are considered faultless by their followers.

And then they come to me and say

People criticize the speaker's songwriting skills.

Why can't you write good songs?

The speaker responds to critics with arrogance.

I hate to be so arrogant

Despite arrogance, the speaker dislikes name-calling.

Don't like to call them names

Money is the primary motivation for some bands.

But money is their only goal

The speaker's songs are a reminder of the true metal spirit.

My songs remain me some

The speaker laments the decline of once-liked bands.

All the bands I used to like are going down the drain What the hell has happened here, have they gone insane?

Expressing confusion and disappointment at the changes in the music scene.

I used to think that heavy bands ignored the current trends

Belief that heavy bands used to ignore mainstream trends.

But once you've been in rolling stone you learn about your friends

Experience of learning about true friends after achieving fame.

They never sound the same again, they claim that they progress

Claim that bands change after achieving success, attributing it to writer's block.

But I just think it's writer's slump that wins them their success

The major record labels invest heavily, but the audience is unaware.

The majors spend big money the audience is blind

Razor, the speaker's band, remains true to heavy music and rejects mainstream influences.

While RAZOR plays it heavier and leaves the scum behind

Accusation that everyone has experienced betrayal or disappointment in the music industry.

We've all been stabbed in the back

A conclusion that trust has been betrayed in the music community.
