Who Sets The Rules

(album: Scratch The Surface - 1994)

Fly by night scenester, Fly by night hipster
One more newjack wants to set the rules
Fly by night scenester, Fly by night hipster

Never suffered, never paid the dues living contradiction,
live a lie oh so fashionable what a goddamn pitiful sight it must
be a great thing knowing it all spreading nausea with a brazen show of gall

Who sets the rules
The snobby fools
Who sets the rules

The fascist who wants to rule
Living independent what a joke those caught dipping in a trust fund won't go
broke all this rhetoric is so hard to bear when the fool assumes a high and mighty air
People come and go, only some can really know who is laughable
who should be on a pedestal.

Trendy we'll see in the future what'll be, who is obsolete
The one who takes it to extremes.
