lyrics

indiscriminate i'd rather be elite, i'll choose my own shit scene
unsubstantiated rumors flown are true, i'm here for me not you
nonconglumurate i mean what i say, i'm not your fucking scape
goat apparently i've alienated some, it seems my job's half done
you'll never understand it, try to buy and brand it
i win you lose, cause it's my job to keep punk rock elite
this music ain't your fuckin' industry
