Listen "An Alternative"

Episode Synopsis

There is no Alternative
It used to be a choice
How can there be an Alternative
When we’re fed the same thing
Every day?

How can it be Alternative
And on the Rick Dee’s 40 show?
For there to be an alternative
You need to have at least fucking
Two

One more than one

An alternative dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking

Mainstream always wanted the underground
Forget the life, we got the sound
Live (sell) fast, die young
Your Alternative wants some

Everybody’s heard of Alternative
That’ll be our next star

The only thing Alternative
About you is your silly name
Now dump the sound, we got the look
Gonna make a million and change

Think of all that money
And those credit cards

An alternative dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking dollar sign
An alternative

An alternative what?

I can appreciate the music
Without cheetahs, goatees, and Dew
Don’t you see, the money hungry
Have assumed the image (obey)
For our entire generation

You are X
You are X

Snobs in their Tommy, it’s just a uniform
Every one to the mall
Red, white, and blue for all
I wanna (gotta) conform

You should see my trash bag
It’s a Tommy
I’m so cool

An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking

Dollar sign

I always hoped that someday
The music would come to the front
Now there’s a fucking hopeless waiting list
Your Alternative wants some

We can’t leave anything alone
We can market this

There is no Alternative
It used to be a voice
I can’t stand your Alternative
Another fucking pre-packaged t-shirt

Available at Walmart
Or at your local landfill

An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
An alternative dollar sign
Just another fucking

Dollar sign

I’d rather listen to Classic Rock
