Autographs

After the gig and keen to share

The end result of feeling aware

But it's autographs that you want me to sign

I write my name but it's not even mine...

It's yours, hang it up on your wall

I hope you get over it, do a bit more

Cos playing the game is the game itself

Where all you get told is all you can tell

Labels define, and their opposition

Defines as well, puts you in a position

Label it 'alternative', what does it mean?

A token cog in the music machine

It's always easier to follow the leader

Lowest common denominator

All dressed up as a motivator

Fuck the system? Yeah, see you later! See you later!

Fuck the system! Time four

Seems like we heard it all before

Several years back we all got a clue

Resistance fed what we said we'd do

Now several years on it's like it all belongs

To the history books -- well that's how it looks

The regeneration of the blank generation

Forgetfulness, that's all it took

It's always easier to follow the leader

Lowest common denominator

All dressed up as a motivator

Fuck the system? Yeah, see you later! Yeah, see you later!

A regeneration of the blank generation

A regeneration of the blank generation

A regeneration of the blank generation

Regeneration of the blank generation

Rebellion into fashion

And fashion creates names

To be signed on bits of paper

It's all part of the game

A continuance of the process

All you want is autographs

Where has all the meaning gone?

Why do I have to ask?
