Lyrics:
Running out of steam again/ Where did I go wrong this time?/ Too principled for mass appeal/ Uncompromising, asinine.

You fight each other, I'll retain my dignity/ Here in the gutter, we're no part of this industry/ For some band so obscure we're rather smart/ Forging a career out of bit parts.

While many lesser lights succeed/ I'm here writing history/ For all the good that it does me/ There might just as well as be.

Pinned to my bottom a big sign saying notice me/ I feel forgotten at the higher apsis of the scene/ If fame becomes the crux on which you smart/ We won't be the ones to break your heart.

We're too friendly, too thoughtful/ We get pushed in to a corner/ We're not faceless or mournful/ Don't act like we oughtta/ And we won't be recording or dancing with Madonna/ Don't rub shoulders with the stars cos we're no one/ Along with Funbug and Chopper and Croc(odile) God/ we're just the writers of the bestest punk rock songs/ and you won't miss what you've got until we're gone.
