KILL YOUR IDOLS LYRICS

"From Companionship To Competition"

There was a time that I recall
Walking past a fellow punk in the mall
Our eyes met and we both knew the deal
Each of us knowing how the other would feel

Nowadays we size each other up
Looks of contempt replace a friendly "What's up?"
Not sure who's real and who's living a lie
Turning a lifestyle into something you buy

What happened to the feelings we once had (From companionship to competition)
Standing up against the things that make us mad (From companionship to competition)
It supposed to be a lifestyle, not a fad (From companionship to competition)
And when you're gone the ones who live it will be glad

There was a time I remember like yesterday
When all the bands had something to say
We worked together and we got things done
We played together and the shows were fun
Nowadays it's just who you know
Strategic moves, got to play the "right" show
What ever look sells the most CD's
Selling out to get on MTV

What happened to the feelings we once had (From companionship to competition)
Standing up against the things that make us mad (From companionship to competition)
It supposed to be a lifestyle, not a fad (From companionship to competition)
And when you're gone the ones who live it will be glad

Don't want my, don't want my, don't want my MTV
Don't want my, don't want my, don't want my MTV

Thanks to Rancid for these lyrics
