New Direction

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
