Name: To Hell With It
Duration: P00H04M54S
Description: This one goes out to all the music scenes out there. To the folks who use others in the scene as stepping stones to get further ahead. To those who value networking over building genuine relationships. To those who have judged me based on how my appearance before they have ever heard me. To every band that I pushed, promoted, and shared shows with who never returned the favor. To hell with it.

about

This one goes out to all the music scenes out there. To the folks who use others in the scene as stepping stones to get further ahead. To those who value networking over building genuine relationships. To those who have judged me based on how my appearance before they have ever heard me. To every band that I pushed, promoted, and shared shows with who never returned the favor. To hell with it.

lyrics

I've seen it so many times that I've lost track
Empty praise from folks who want an in
Until they get what they want they'll treat you like a friend
But in the end they'll stab you in the back
To hell with it, go network else where

What does my appearance have to do with how I sound
does it really matter what I choose to wear
If the length of my hair or the size of my waist concerns you
I don't need your kind around
To hell with it, I was never hip to begin with

To hell with it, I've had enough
To hell with the scene, to hell with sucking up
And if you want me to get in line you're shit out of luck
To hell with it, I've had enough

People get offended so easily
Always looking for a reason to complain
Well who are they to tell me what I can and cannot say
Just mind you're own and let me be
To hell with it, go see somebody else's show

To hell with it, I've had enough
To hell with the scene, to hell with sucking up
And if you want me to get in line you're shit out of luck
To hell with it, I've had enough
