Against Me! – New Wave Lyrics 18 years ago
i think its an explanation of why they eventually decided to leave underground and make the move to sire records. he talks about how the mainstream music scene today is dog shit (1) and that their decision isnt so much a betrayal of punk ideals as it is an attempt to invade the mainstream (2) and popularize a movement of music thats actually worth listening to (3). it almost sounds like he's asking their original following to get over the fact that theyve committed the most unforgivable of all punk scene faux pas and accept their intentions as honorable (4).

1. "let breathe new dawn this art is dead, no signs of original thought in the mainstream"
2. "we can be the bands we wanna hear, we can define out own generation"
3. "looking for the crest of a new wave"
4. "is there anybody on the recieving end, are you ready to brave new directions?"
