New Direction

What do you mean it's time, time for me to
 grow up? I don't want any part. It's right
 to follow my heart. The new kids ran, ran
 out the back door fast, and the bands
 that came before they had their noses in
 the air. Pretending that they care about
 our scene just because our money's
 green. I'll tell you stage dives make me
 feel more alive than coded messages in
 slowed down songs.
 Now you're so ashamed, now I'm so
 ashamed of you. We believed the same
 things. You stand to the side. Rebirth of
 hardcore pride. It all came true, too bad
 you can't see all the good things that I
 see.
 Back in, back in the days when I'd wait to
 see the old bands play. It didn't seem
 like wasted days. I was so sincere, but
 now I see more clearly. Music's only
 work to them. It's not to me. So I say,
 hats off to bands that change. Good
 luck, go your own way. Why play for us,
 if your heart's not in it? Cause what might
 seem dumb to you is pounding in my
 heart.
 Now you're so ashamed, now you're so
 ashamed of you. We believed the same
 things. You stand to the side. Rebirth of
 hardcore pride. It all came true. Too bad
 you can't see. No, you just can't fucking
 see it.
 Now you just turn your back. You said I
 don't want it anymore. Old friends you
 attack. Our pain out of touch. You don't
 get it do you? New stage, new ideas.
 You don't have to make excuses for us.
 Sitting there looking back, I'm scared.
 Don't spoil memories of the way things
 were
