From the album "My Revenge" (2004)
Originally appeared on the album "Nothing. Absolutely Nothing." (2003)

Recorded in Greenville, SC

lyrics

So many bands are fucken full of it
Using revolution to sell their bullshit
"Bigger venues equal a bigger audience"
More like bigger venues equal a fatter wallet
You can't justify corporate backing
What ever you say your story's lacking
Corporations aren't either good or bad
They turn the music into a fucken teenage fad
Anti-Flag turns the amerikkklan flag upside down
But they'll play with Vans (and Coca-Cola & Busweiser) ads all around
At the the Casualties have nothing to say
"Spikey hair punx and 40oz, Hey! Hey!"
Well what's the point of music anyways?
To stay underground and then just fade away?
Then no one gets the message..... but thats not true!
if you're fucken good your stuff gets out and people hear it....
that's just a cop-out

Tell me what happened to DIY?
Mail-order and independent shops
Why can you buy punk rock at the mall?
Epitaph, Fat Wreck - Hot Topic's got them all
have bands just lost faith in themselves
they words they sing now mean nothing at all
"Well you know sometimes you have to compromise!"
Fuck that shit, its just another selling lie
Can't we organize this shit ourselves?
Taking donations instead of tickets for sale
We don't need fucken corporate sponsors
But some people think its not a problem
Oh, people like me take the fun out of punk
"Bullshit Crass" so why don't I just shut-up?!?
I know the underground is well and alive
It'd just be cool if people opened their eyes
