Pay to Play

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck pay to play shows!

Stages, basements, all the same
Playing ‘cos you love to play
Playing every fucking day
Fuck pay to play shows!

For the punx, not for the cash
Living hard and dying fast
Can’t believe it’s come to this
Fuck pay to play show!

Selling tickets ain’t your thing
Now they’ve got you hustling
Now you’re fucking hustling
Fuck pay to play shows!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck pay to play shows!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck pay to play shows!

It’s dog-eat-dog, you know it’s true
You want to play, what can you do?
You’re just another punk rock fool
Fuck pay to play shows!

The terms are set and you consent
A ruling that you’ll soon resent
You’re finding yourself discontent
Fuck pay to play shows!

You’re doing what you must to sell
But you’re not doing it so well
This is a business, this is Hell
Fuck pay to play shows!

I’m not your stepping stone
I, I, I, I, I’m not your stepping stone!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck pay to play shows!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck pay to play shows!

It’s dog-eat-dog, you know it’s true
You want to play, what can you do?
You’re just another punk rock fool
Fuck pay to play shows!

The terms are set and you consent
A ruling that you’ll soon resent
You’re finding yourself discontent
Fuck pay to play shows!

You’re doing what you must to sell
But you’re not doing it so well
This is a business, this is Hell
Fuck pay to play shows!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck pay to play shows!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck pay to play shows!
Fuck!
