For so many years I've wondered exactly what this song is about.
But after so much time I guess I just have to say it’s about how I feel about my art.
And the fact that I'm blessed with music, because I know how to express myself.
I don't feel that I have to write anything for anyone else.
Not trying to gain fans, because I do this for myself.
I do this for myself.
I do this for myself.
I refuse to fall into some scene based upon,
How you fucking dress, and how you fucking act,
'cause it's a god damn...
POPULARITY CONTEST.
Where the prize of fame is glorified...
Is glorified to the ones with the greatest fashion sense.
Forgetting the talent and respect for the art,
How the fuck are you rewarded when we can't tell you apart?
You stupid mother fucker-
BALLS
We're gonna go out drinking, we're gonna start a fight.
Soooooooo
We're gonna go out drinking, we're gonna start a fight!
I'm gonna go out drinking, I’M GONNA GET IN A FIGHT!!!
LET GO!!!.... FUCK!
So I guess that I've written this song,
To say to hell with you, and fuck what you do,
Because I know that music's something that should come from the heart.
If you don't like what I do then I don't care to know your name.
This is the reason I was placed here on this earth.
You might say that I am full of myself,
And I'd be the first one to agree, but after all I've done,
I think I've earned the fucking right.
At times it may be hard, but there is always...
A silver lining, because I'm proud of myself.
And that's something, I wouldn't trade for the world.
