jeff rosenstock - festival song lyrics

it feels completely ridiculous
that i’m a willing partic-p-nt
gazing at the purples and pinks
in the shadow of a bank-sponsored skyline
“unite against the establishment!”™
(while drones transmit the images
to a server farm in the valley
for a culture that will eat its own insides

oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something
oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it
if you didn’t have something they could take
take a long look at the billboards
that smother the air ’til you can’t ignore ’em
and glamorize department store crust-punk-chic
cause satan’s trending up and it’s fashion week
but this is not a movement. it’s just careful entertainment
for an easy demographic in our sweatshop denim jackets
and we’ll wonder, “what just happened?!”
when then the world becomes manhattan
where the banks steal the apartments just to render them abandoned

we’re not stupid people, but this financial depression
has got everyone believing all that we can do is nothing
cause we organize through avenues they lace with advertis-m-nts
so the ones we try to rage against are still lining their pockets

oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something
