CLook at the Dworld in disbeClief
You used to folDlow, now you lCead
College has enliDghtened yGouEm  
And you are pCroud to be Ddifferent
And lCike different Dbands - different Ctypes
You ain't nDobody's fGoolC  Bm  
It's liAke cGertain bands reDmind you of someone you Emhated
'Cause they dBmidn't wear the right cClothing
And there's onGly one true fDashionC  Bm  
AAnd a lGot of the bands on the coDllege charts are Emgreat bands
Until thBmey get signed. Then you hCate them
It's suGch bullshiCt, you used to Dlove them you hypGocrite.
Know it aBmll, know it Call,   Gdid you really Bmlisten to that Csong?
GCould you ever Bmwrite what you call Cwrong?
I remeDmber you and I lCistening to Dbands that we Cliked
Only the soDngs mattered to yGouEm  
But now you're a CD.J. and Dpreaching that Chype
"Corporate Rock SDucks"
"You knCow, college Dradio enlightens Gyou"C  Bm  A  G  
It's supposed to sGerve as a means to exDpose new bands
Without Emprejudice, but it mBmakes no sense
Safe hCarbor for the Gunderground
'Til the alternCative becomes the Dpopular sound
The bGands are good 'til they Dmake enough cash
To Emeat food and Bmget a pad
Then they've soCld out and their Gmusic's cliché
BCecause talent's exclDusive to bands without Gpay
Know it aBmll, know it Call,   Gdid you really Bmlisten to that Csong?
GCould you ever Bmwrite what you call Cwrong?
Know it aGll
