So you're thinking of joining a street metal band?
There are a few things you have to understand
You won't find any of that glory and fame
But tons of humiliation and shame

This is a lifestyle only the worst can survive
You have to be a fucking idiot to stay alive
Tons of fucking and drinking and smoking
But the drugs aren't free and the sex is revolting

Chorus:
All of the decadence, none of the success
All of the habits, but none of the cash
None of the career highs, but lots of lows
For every fan you'll make a hundred foes

We been in this game for 20+ years
We're like a disease that won't disappear
Stirring up chaos, fucking up the scene
Always untight, always unclean

But life at the bottom comes at a cost
To crawl in the gutter is no way for the soft
So listen up kid, take a word from the wise
Get out while you can, or you will pay the price
