Rip Off Lyrics - Defiance

it's happened before and now it's happening again 

rancid rotten bastards fucking trying to cash in 

they're on tv and they're on the radio 

on the cover of spin magazine how far is it going to go 

exploiting punk rock to the useless fucking masses 

with mass media saturation and financial fucking backing 

we won't be fooled by your prepackaged rebellion 

bought and sold by corporate fuckheads 

when you work with the enemy that 

makes you the same kind of scum 

who has robbed our fucking movement from the very day that it began as you 

riot riot riot your fucking self right to the bank 

i know we all know that you're just a fucking rip off 

[Chorus:] 

rip off 

rip off. 

rip off 

fuck you fuck off. 

radio radio what a fucking load of shit 

and by the way what the fuck does the radio have to do with it 

just another clever trick they got to hush the humming masses 

while they buy buy buy this weeks overplayed trash 

is today green or tomorrow fucking greener? 

for the bosses making money while your spewing out crap love songs 

what the fuck is punk about road managers and booking 

agents or backstage rooms and pre show exercises 

twenty thousand seat arenas..oh c'mon you make me fucking sick 

in 1976 they started out to put an end to all that useless shit 

it's happened before and it's happening again but you're never gonna fool us 

because you're just a bunch of rip-offs 

[Chorus]
