Habitat destruction, fade to terrorism We’re all imploding Under mass- boredom Sleeping generation can’t embrace the shock There’s nothing left to embrace I needed motivation, you sent a postcard that said “PUNK ROCK” Well fuck you too This is a marketing ploy This is the new black It’s a publicity stunt Relax kick back... Tune in turn up recline practice being dead This is Channel Hell I hope this sledge hammer reminds you who you are What the fuck happened?

Tune in turn up recline practice being dead This is Channel Hell You only see the filth when you look for it The scene sucks because you suck, you killed it You stood back and let it die... This is a marketing ploy This is the new black It’s a publicity stunt Relax kick back... Tune in turn up recline practice being dead This is Channel Hell
