Damn the Man (won’t somebody think of the kids in bands) Lyrics by Yr Poetry

Ruin Music

2022

[Verse]
So many kids in bands have got it wrong
(Always hanging out in gangs when they could be writing songs)
I guess it's just a question of balance
And how you never wanna cockblock the talent
I'm not saying, that's explicitly what you should do
Just cos you can write her a love song; don't mean you have to
So many kids in bands have got it wrong
(Got the parents and the privilege to pay for when they bomb)
This ain't a poverty means purity snob thing
Just, the poor can't afford to sustain being boring
I'm not saying money don't help the musician
Full time high horse, part time position
Fuck it
[Chorus]
Go faster
Hit the best chords harder
Stray further
(Be the most еxplosive)
Be the loudеst (Be the worstest)
Be the proudest mess you can
Be the sound that slays us
(screaming) Damn the Man
[Verse]
So many kids in bands have got it wrong
(They'll be backstage sniffing lines when they should be going on)
How the cocaine fosters the fomo
But no-one's missing out on yr solo (ohh)
So many kids in bands just suck
(Average bitter creeps doing endless filler guff)
If it's not the kind of thing you can teach then
Throw guitars in the green bin, take those dreams and shoot them
I'm not inciting you to actually kill a man
But songs outlasting people, that's an undeniable problem
Damn the Man
[Chorus]
Go faster
Hit the best chords harder
Stray further
(Be the most explosive)
Be the loudest (Be the worstest)
Be the proudest mess you can
Be the sound that slays us
(screaming) Damn the Man
[Bridge]
So many kids in bands get it right
But they quit when it don't happen overnight
So many kids in bands get it wrong
It's the ego that keeps them just carrying on
(That's us)
[Chorus]
Go faster
Hit the best chords harder
Stray further
(Be the most explosive)
Be the loudest (Be the worstest)
Be the proudest mess you can
Be the sound that slays us
(screaming) Damn the Man
