This song is pretty straightforward. There's a lot of sorrow in this song I feel, somewhat reminiscent of "Empty Chairs At Empty Tables" [from Les Miserables]. I think most people will get the overwhelming sense of anger in this song, which is directed to the faceless men running the industry without a true sense of what music actually is. What I think a lot of people will miss is the sense of sadness that people I loved and trusted gave up. - Rody

the first set sounds like "smiles and thank yous just ain't worth faking" to me.

It's definitely:

"Love nothing trust no one..."

and I believe it's:

"Whatever, as always"

Several sections I think should be corrected, but only if you agree:

1. "warm protection" could be "worn protection," as in worn out and "I won't take bastards from their reign" should be "I won't take pictures from their frame"

2. "and it seems to me the sounds that they kills the life and honesty" should be "and it seems to me this apathy kills the life and artistry"

3. "and no money could change us" should be "that no money could change us"

4. killsomething is right- it's definitely "smiles and thank-yous"

5. "if you care then it's your only fucking option left" should be "if you get there and it's your only fucking option left"

6. "the hand ??? on my dreams" should be "the handlebars on my dreams slowly start to rust" and I think "??? helped take everything and somehow you still know" is "they'll take everything and somehow you still (know? low?)." Honestly not sure what the last word is.

7. Narekito is right- it's "cocaine cowboys."

8. "writing music for myself ??? and to the undeserving world here's to their feeling fucking health" should be "I make music for myself, not for hand jobs from the upper-tier or their undeserved wealth. Here's to their failing fucking health"

9. "I dont usually hate the way but when the people you love start walkin away, the world gets down to (reach?) and every day. take a last breath before it crumbles away" should be "I don't mean this in a hateful way, but when the people you love start walking away the world gets harder each and every day. Take your last bite before it crumbles away."

10. Narekito is right again- it's "whatever, as always" and "love nothing, trust no one"

This song is a blatant "fuck you" to the music industry.

Wouldnt be surprised if some of this was about Mark Spicoluk and the guys from Stereos, since they're all friends from back in the day when some of those guys were Closet Monster but now they've sold out to the new muchmusic generation and becoming record label A&R's for sony and whatever.... then again i could be reading too much in this :P

No contracts bind you in the end

^^ at that part its supposed to say "though contracts bind you in the end"

If anyone can understand what he says at the ???'s please say so, it will be much appreciated.

Also if you think one of the lyrics are wrong or something, they say something

I made all necessary corrections, thanks for the feedback!

Album's out...here are the correct lyrics from the booklet:

And when the underworld's best kept secret Saw it's own reflection I knew things had finally changed For better or worse Whatever, as always

When the mid-life fires start to burn And burned down our one protection I won't take pictures from their frame Whatever, as always

When the hands that sold me everything Slapped a price tag on my chest I bit my tongue and shut my mouth And tried to blend in with the rest But I'm a square ped, I'm a sore thumb

And it seems to me this apathy Kills the life in artistry And leaves us ankle deep in industry

All those songs sound so damn good Even if their meaning's hollow But hollow words dry out your mouth You might find it hard to swallow All the shit that we keep feeding To keep ourselves and you believing Than no money could change us Then a door opens up and some devil persuades us

The songs we sung When we were just young Have all lost their meaning But there's still a few things that we keep on believing

Shitty music just ain't worth makin' Smiles and thank-yous just ain't worth fakin' Some assholes' hands just ain't worth shakin' And if it ain't broken, we need to break it

There's no such thing as unconditional Though contracts bind you in the end Make no mistake, this is a killing ground Blood-hungry and camoflaged as friends Select 'yes' at the end of this mess If you get there And it's your only fucking 'option' left

These days, I don't know the people I'm supposed to trust And I don't trust these people that I'm supposed to know The handlebars on my dreams slowly start to rust They'll take everything and somehow you still owe As the cocaine cowboys finally get their wings and sell them all for blow

I make music for myself Not for hat-tips from the upper-tier and their undeserved wealth Here's to their failing fucking health

I don't mean this in a hateful way But when the people you love start walking away The walls get tighter each and every day You better take your last bite before it crumbles away And there's something inside me I just have to say Love nothing, trust no one Just live for the motherfucking day

God, the last minute of this song is like the most badass verse Rody has ever sung
