The Trend Lyrics
Dress the part, plagiarize
But you can't fake, you can't disguise
Flash in the pan, make believe
Sold your soul, so damn naive
(Chorus)
Stealing from a generation
How do you sleep at night?
Disgrace the institution
Just a parasite
En Vogue, Pretend, Follow The Trend
Try your best, impersonate
Play your part, masquerade
Fool the young, play them well
Counterfeit shit, is what you sell
*repeat chorus
En Vogue, Pretend, Follow (Jump On) The Trend (X2)
(Hey man I think they're having a sale down at Hot Topic let's go!)
Solo
We bring it back, is what they say
True to the core, so what were you yesterday?
False pretense, corporate lie
Ride your wave, and watch it die
But you can't fake, you can't disguise
Flash in the pan, make believe
Sold your soul, so damn naive
How do you sleep at night?
Disgrace the institution
Just a parasite
Play your part, masquerade
Fool the young, play them well
Counterfeit shit, is what you sell
True to the core, so what were you yesterday?
False pretense, corporate lie
Ride your wave, and watch it die

This song serves as a stab at those in music who willfully sell their soul and give into the latest trends, calling them parasites. It also critiques those who adopt fake personas, plagiarize, and imitate others, to gain acceptance and success. They say they stay true to their morals or what they believe, ignoring what they once were. The song encourages you to remain authentic to your core values, rather than succumbing to the pressures of conformity for fortune and fame.
