lyrics

True 'til death, man!
Fucking dedication!
You pledge allegiance to the logo
Of a fucking corporation
What the fuck do running shoes
Have to do with our scene?
My Adidas don't mean shit to me
A transaction has been made
Can you tell me who bought who?
You buy the image
You sell out yourself
Where the product ends and you begin
I can't even tell
Buried under layers of brand identity
It makes me sick to see this kind of
Hardcore Loyalty!
What's the value of our self-control
After our sense of self's been sold?
Straightedge should be something more
Than a fucking demographic for a sporting goods store
Pull that hooded sweatshirt off from over your eyes
Realize we're so much more than what we buy!
