What do you mean that it's time, time for me to grow up?
I don't want any part
It's right to follow my heart
The new kids ran, ran out the back door fast
And the bands that came before
They had their noses in the air
Pretending that they care about our scene
Just because our money's green
I'll tell you stage dives make me feel more alive
Than coded messages in slowed down songs
Now you're so ashamed, now I'm so ashamed of you
We believed the same things

You stand to the side, rebirth of hardcore pride
It all came true
Too bad you can't see all the good things that I see
Back in, back in the days
When I'd wait to see the old bands play
It didn't seem like wasted days
I was so sincere, but now I see more clearly
Music's only work to them
It's not to me

So I say hats off to bands that change
Good luck, go your own way
Why play for us if your heart's not in it?
Cause what might, what might seem dumb to you
Is pounding in my heart
Now you're so ashamed, now I'm so ashamed of you
We believe the same things
You stand to the side, rebirth of hardcore pride

It all came true, too bad you can't see, no, you just can't fucking see it
Now you just turn your back
You said I don't want it anymore
Old friends you attack
Our pain out of touch
You don't get it do you
New stage, new ideas
You don't have to make excuses for us
Sitting there looking back, I'm scared
Don't spoil memories of the way things were
