Silver Spoon

You think that you're so fucking cool

Made some mistakes

Got some breaks

Broke some rules

Everything you have was just handed to you

You lived your life being fed from silver spoons

You played so many local shows

You thought you had it down

All the backyard parties

The biggest band in town

Finally got a 7"

You put it out yourself

Just to get the chicks

Doesn't matter if it sells

You used to be a metal band

Till the grunge scene hit the air

Then you went Seattle

And you braided all your hair

Now you hit the road

You don't play parties anymore

You booked a weekend out of town

And act like it's a tour

Now you know the reason why I hate you

You're just an experiment for a major label

They put you out to see how mass marketing really works

Now you're crying on the road again

Different country

Different tales

Far from all your stupid friends

The silver spoons are plastic now

You hold them up yourself

You sleep with 10 guys on the floor

Forget about hotels

Your rock and roll fantasy

Just became a nightmare

Now you know reality

The van's got no electricity

You thought a tour was parties, sex, and money

Now you can't find a Western Union

Anywhere in Germany

Your parents sent you money so you can eat

You wasted all your money at some hash bar

On some weed

Now you don't think you're so cool

All your breaks were big mistakes

You have to pay your dues

Just because you dye your hair

And wear big boots

people see right through your lies

About your punk roots
