What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
what's the point of fame
2
except to reinforce the social hierarchies we oppose
3
what's the point of a name
4
if it just becomes something that you drop
5
when you feel insecure
6
and you're not sure
7
if everybody in the room will have heard of your band before
8
and you're on tour
9
and haven't seen a friend in at least a couple of days
10
let me count the ways that i abuse the privilege
11
granted to me by this mandolin
12
and my white skin that bought me my first guitar
13
everybody told me boy you're bound to be a star
14
oh yes you are
15
boy you're bound to be a star
16
and like every major threat
17
they somehow find a way to buy it
18
they co-opt what we create
19
while they get rich and we deny it
20
the TV tells us there are stars and fans
21
and there's just one way to make it
22
follow the label's rules
23
use the master's tools
24
and when the big deal comes you take it
25
you're selling hope to angry kids
26
who think that you're the only ones
27
who sing about what makes them sad
28
who understand the way they feel
29
that's just cuz your label pays
30
for multi-colored tour posters
31
so no one ever hears about
32
the kids doing it for real
33
and i'm so tired of these anarchist celebrities
34
selling $10 shrinkwrapped CDs
35
full of paper made from old growth trees
36
and i know that we all have our hipocrisies
37
this isn't about purity or punk rock points
38
it's about taking back what's left of our ideals
39
and trading in our egos for our dreams
40
and if i start to act like them
41
please call me on my shit
42
cuz sometimes i get jealous
43
i'll be the first one to admit
44
i've been brainwashed all my life
45
and now i'm trying to think for myself
46
i think that i might need your help
