Sellout

from Hellbender by Chris Shepard

/

lyrics

All the people who said
They’d say they knew me way back when
Are getting impatient
So it’s time I gave in, caved in
Traveled down that well worn road
Spiked my hair and made a fortune

Hangin’ out in high school at my locker
I’m a bubblegum punk rocker

I’m gonna sell out
I’m gonna sell out
Sellout
Sellout
I’m gonna sell out
Sellout

By the time this song comes out
It will sound passé
In fact, to me it already sounds gay
But I can wait for another trend
To rear its stupid ugly bloated
Pus-filled head again

My old friends still make me skittish
Don’t tell my fans that I’m not British

I’m gonna sell out
I’m gonna sell out
Sellout
Sellout
I’m gonna sell out
Sellout

All the guys in my band
Who I told we’d make it big some day
Are getting impatient

So I’ll shit-can my integrity
And embrace my new conformity
And when the money starts rolling in, you’ll know
I’m a liar

Sellout
I’m gonna sell out
Sellout
Sellout
I’m gonna sell out
Sellout
Sellout
A fuckin' sellout
Sellout

Spike my hair and make me a fortune
Get tattooed and make me a fortune
Pierce my schlong and make me a fortune
I’ll kick your ass if you call me a Sellout
