The Industry Lyrics - Okkervil River

I though that it was us against the world 

But now it's me against something so big and abstract that I can't tell what it is 

All the while you're out there grinding on some poor girl 

Who is backstage at the 6.8 rock fest 

I though that should be an aside 

I tuned it out when I heard you shit-talking our friends 

Well I wasn't free falling with (?) 

And everyone's just out to grab what they can get 

I though I had a bunch of friends I guess 

I just had people pissed at me for shit 

And the cheaper that the music starts to get 

It's like they're trying to make us cheap along with it 

I watched you turn into your very opposite 

Into everything we were trying to reject 

And I figured you had had enough of it 

Watching the whole world turn while all you earned was respect

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And look at us, just two dumb country hicks 

Trying to bumrush that VIP 

Up there, out where the beautiful people live 

But is that ever who we even wanted to be? 

Do you remember baby, back in '96? 

When some record was enough to make you raise your fist? 

When some singer'd make you sure that you exist? 

Well I never thought I'd feel like that again 

Just let go 

I had to let it all go 

I gotta, gotta let it go, gotta let it go 

Alright man
