Now I'm not the kinda guy
to sit around and cry
about the way things used to be
back when the shows were full of punks
narcissistic drunks
who would come round
and smoke your weed
yeah, I guess he's still around
28, livin' in a college town
beer cans strewn around the yard
softboy smoker stubs his cigarette in the chard
At the end of the day
I'm happy to say
the scene
still sucks
the scene
still sucks
Now I knew a girl named Amy
Whose songs could really slay me
but the pressure was more than she could take
the enablers and the drugs
I would have surrounded her with hugs
too bad she was with
that jerk Blake
And in that daned year 2011
at 27 yeah you know she went to heaven
And don't forget the paparazzi
I'd say in general their behavior was quite naughty
At the end of the day
I'm happy to say
the scene
still sucks
the scene
still sucks
Now I knew a Palestinian
who rolled with like 12 minions
and some say his papa was god
he could play a righteous tune
you know
really pack a room
and on top of that he had
a rockin bod
A singer
guitarist
and a showman
real triple threat
especially to a roman
So they had him crucified
he wrote this refrain
just a day before he died:
"At the end of the day
I'm happy to say
the scene
still sucks
