Corporate Rebellion: Unmasking the Irony of Alternative Icons
Lyrics
I remember the motto corporate rock sucks,
The speaker recalls the belief that mainstream corporate-produced rock music is unsatisfactory.
Now I look at Green Day it must be payday.
The speaker now observes Green Day and perceives their actions as driven by financial motives.
Ditto, ditto, could you please play a tune a little
Expressing a desire for something different, requesting a tune that deviates from the current norm.
Alternative nation talent must be on vacation.
There seems to be a lack of recognized talent in the alternative music scene at the moment.
You say the underground is metal music now come take some lessons
Challenging someone who claims to understand underground metal music, suggesting they still have more to learn.
Learn how to throw down.
Encouraging someone to improve their ability to participate in a physical altercation or perform energetically.
You little Weezer, you became a Breeder Filter

Through Gin and Blossom to begin.

We're the alternative to the alternative, heavy is where it's at.

Ahhh!
An exclamation expressing intense emotion.
You become what you despise!
Stating that imitating or aligning with something despised can lead to becoming just that.
With your fake accent Rancid-smelling ass signing
Criticizing someone for adopting a fake persona while signing lucrative contracts.
Phat contracts but you tell me will it last.
Doubting the longevity of success for those signing major contracts.
Yo let's burn a Bush, paint a Silverchair back to black ask me if I even care.
Suggesting rebellious actions against political figures or bands, questioning if it even matters.
We'll in Flame your Lips crack your Lemonhead blow up an Oasis Blind Melons
Referencing bands like In Flames, Lips, Lemonheads, Oasis, and Blind Melon, possibly implying destruction or disregard for these bands.
Dead and 120 Minutes of bitches sounding like
Disparaging bands that resemble imitations or replicas of other successful artists.
Crows Count them all before you start to blow!
Advising caution or careful consideration before initiating a destructive or disruptive action.
We're the alternative to the alternative, heavy is where it's at.
