Thoughts On Self-Described DIY Bands Engaging With A Profit-Based Print Media

(альбом: Egg On Face. Foot In Mouth. Wriggling Wriggling Wriggling. - 2017)

I'm just jealous I'm just mad
But can you really queer Kerrang?
I'm sure I'd say different if I was fan but I'm not

Don't want to be bitter I want to be better
But that word I seem to repeat forever
Do I want to be nice or do I want to be clever?
(You're neither)

Well I see the same stories all unfold
Hypercritical hypocrite I'm often told, and I know
This green little monster should be happy for their friends
But I disagree with how we measure success

I know if you speak up people feel attacked
Criticisms you give they'll want to give right back
I know the trouble is not worse the fuss
A critique of punk from someone not punk enough

And now the scene seems imaginary
Based on print based pageantry
A movement reduced to aesthetic
The scenes still rooted in ethics

You can use what terms you like but it's implied the point you missed it
Sure use it as your name but it sure isn't descriptive
