TO HELL WITH THE MAINSTREAM
Lyrics by Anderson Mar
©2010

VERSE 1&2
Spoon-fed mediocrity, a nationwide disease
You’re acting like they’re handing out free lobotomies
Nod your head, and smile, and play along, it’s all the rage
Why should we expect anything to change?

Disney sets the guidelines for what defines “a pretty voice”
Just plug in your TV and forgo your right of choice
It’s easy to buy into what is easily obtained
Just sit back and let the media euthanize your brain

LEAD-UP TO THE CHORUS:
Think for yourself! (Are you gonna do it?)
Seek out the truth! (I challenge you to prove it!)
Speak for yourself! (Use the right or lose it!)
Take a stand today before it gets taken away…

CHORUS:
To hell with the mainstream
To hell with it all
To hell with the mainstream
To hell with it all


VERSE 3&4:
I’m not here to impress you, I’d rather be unique
I’m lacking in the expertise to turn the other cheek
Mannequins are everywhere, their armies roam the streets
Melted minds and plastic smiles, still you call *me* the freak!

I hate your emo haircut, I hate your hipster style
I despise your skinny heroin chic, your politics are vile
The movement of the moment, you embrace it as your cause
It’s a revamp of the 60’s when everyone was burning bras

(REPEAT LEAD-UP & CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
My father always said if they all jump off a bridge, will you?
I’d rather end up dead then conformist born-and-bred, thank you

CHORUS:
To hell with the mainstream
To hell with it all
To hell with the mainstream
To hell with it all

(Repeat Chorus and fade out)
