Defiance – Rip Off

it’s happened before and now it’s happening again

rancid rotten bastards fucking trying to cash in

they’re on tv and they’re on the radio

on the cover of spin magazine how far is it going to go

exploiting punk rock to the useless fucking masses

with mass media saturation and financial fucking backing

we won’t be fooled by your prepackaged rebellion

bought and sold by corporate fuckheads

when you work with the enemy that

makes you the same kind of scum

who has robbed our fucking movement from the very day that it began as you

riot riot riot your fucking self right to the bank

i know we all know that you’re just a fucking rip off

[Chorus:]

rip off

rip off.

rip off

fuck you fuck off.

radio radio what a fucking load of shit

and by the way what the fuck does the radio have to do with it

just another clever trick they got to hush the humming masses

while they buy buy buy this weeks overplayed trash

is today green or tomorrow fucking greener?

for the bosses making money while your spewing out crap love songs

what the fuck is punk about road managers and booking

agents or backstage rooms and pre show exercises

twenty thousand seat arenas..oh c’mon you make me fucking sick

in 1976 they started out to put an end to all that useless shit

it’s happened before and it’s happening again but you’re never gonna fool us

because you’re just a bunch of rip-offs

[Chorus]
