Verse:(ska-rhythm)
A C#m
You found a way to draw a line.
F#m
Between the world and you.
E A
Faking your identity it's true. Did
C#m
you think the word alternative,
F#m E
was only meant for the likes of you?
Pre-Chorus:
B5 E5
Do you think that they're too cool now?
B5 E5
Being popular is lame.
C#5 F#5 D5
You're the one that made them popular,
E5(2)
all their songs are still the same.
Verse:
A C#m
You found them first, it made you
F#m
stand apart, you know? But then
E
everyone jumped on the same
A
bandwagon, making you an
C#m
average Joe. A lemming for the
F#m
mediocre, you were just a plain
E
old joker, status quo.
Pre-Chorus:
B5 E5 B5
Blame it on the band now. If you prick them
E5 C#5
do they bleed? What's the point in
F#5 B5 D5
playing what they want, if you
E5(2)
want let them succeed?
Chorus:
A5 D5 G5
Do you remember where we all
E5(2) A5 D5
came from? Do you remember
G5 E5(2) A5
what it's all about? When you
D5 G5 E5(2)
made a point to be objective,
A5 D5
before you started writing
E5(2)

Pre-Chorus:
B5
You sunk your worth in being

different, just to be like your own

kind. You traded in objectiveness,
E5(2)
for the underground you follow blind
