Alternative Is Dead

Well, I believe that alternative is dead
 I used to be a grunge-rocker man
 Corporate greed has choked the scene, making it all dumb and trendy
 Well, I believe that alternative is dead and it ain't coming back
 It ain't what it used to be
 All these dumb kids crowding all around me
 Jr. highers grabbing the flyers
 Going to the shows I want to see
 Well, I believe that we'll learn from what happened before
 All the bands we see now
 Won't end up in a Tower Records store
 Old Man's a-prowling, searching for a brand new baby face
 To fill Eddie Vedder's job
 Well, I believe that job's not for me
 Go pick on someone else
 It ain't what it used to be
 All these dumb kids crowding all around me
 Jr. highers grabbing the flyers
 Going to the shows I want to see
 Well, I believe alternative is, alternative is dead
