lyrics

God damn, I've never seen a scene so dead,
You made a promise to yourself before you let the door slam
you felt sorry for yourself, said "I can't cut it here, I got fuck all left"
And I know how you feel because I have been in those shoes.

But we can go to the basements,
where the bass and the kick drums shake the foundations
where kids in leather scream
"World annihilation from the depths of the squats to the occupation"
Smoke and bone will start to pulsate
as Sugar Skull folklore starts to mutate
into the ghosts of mohawks and villians sing
Hail! Hail! The dead can dance

You see back in the day, when I got paid
it would all go one getting fucked up or laid
and yes, I know I'm a girl but you should never slut shame,
that is not becoming of you
See the scene was sold out for money and fame
the squats shut down and the faces changed
the abandon warehouses were used for commercial raves
and the D.I.Y movement was used for profit and gain.
