Don't Do What I Did


I pissed away the prime of my life
because I was working for punkass corporations
that didn't care about me

They bought me with trinkets instead of true independence
And I'm angry about it now
More fire than ever
To make it on my own

I'm only working with punks from now on
Independents
I will still work with corporations
But never for corporations

Selling out only on my own terms
I'll be hook and the worms

Contracts signed
I write the book I make the words

No more belief
No more sheep
An independent
Without the herds

Lots more money
I sleep better at night
Because I do it my way
Making value

All of us
Deserve better
All of us
Should feel like royalty

I do this for myself
And I do it for my family
If a schmuck like me can do it
So can you
