Stay Asleep... Lyrics - 1999
Have you ever paid 30 bucks For a ticket where the seating sucks? You left the show with a furrowed brow, Who's the sellout now? I don't want my MTV It's just not the same to me. There's nothing wrong with a video, I don't want to see no dumb game show. So who's the sellout? But what is selling out? Do you know what the band's about? Putting food on the table, More power if you're able, You could be dumb or you could be smart, My definition of a rockstar. Is when the music's in your wallet And no longer in your heart. Now who's the sellout? Well if Sid Vicious was so punk, Then I guess I'll start shooting junk, They were on a major label. Now the band has made some money, You're the one that bought the CD, You told are you friends they were cool, Seems to me that you're the fool. So before you open your mouth, And you say a band has sold out, Do you know what they've been through, Know what they've gone through To play in front of you? Now who's the sellout? Now you're the sellout, So you're a sellout. Please don't get me wrong, I can't sum it up in one song. Open your mind before you open your mouth, Because you might be the one selling out.
