I am reminded of a particular song by all this (think I posted this on the lyrics thread elsewhere once!):
I met a boy wearing Van 501's
And a dope Beastie tee
Nipple rings
New tattoos
That claimed that he
Was OGT
Back from '92
From the first EP.
And in between sips of Coke
He told me that he thought
We were sellin' out
Layin' down
Suckin' up
To the man.
Well now I've got some
Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger
You should know that
I'm the man
If I'm the man,
Then your the man
And He's the man as well
So you can
Point that ****in' finger up your ass.
All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb ****
I sold out long before you ever even heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip ****
And then you bought one.
I've got some
Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger
You should know that I'm the man,
If I'm the ****in' man
Then you're the ****in' man as well
So you can point that ****in' finger up your ass.
All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb ****
I sold out long before you ever even heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record
Dip ****
And then you bought one.
All you read and
Wear or see and
Hear on TV
Is a product
Waiting for your
Fairly dirty Dollar.
So shut up and
Buy, Buy, Buy,
My new record.
Buy, Buy, Buy,
Send more money.
**** you, buddy.
**** you, buddy.
**** you, buddy.
**** you, buddy
