So I heard the word
(I heard the word)
Any time we play
(Any time we play)
People sayin': No one even listens to records today

So why does everyone
(Why does everyone)
Have a fuckin' band?
(Have a fuckin' band)

They may get some things right
But they just do not understand
That it's not enough to just play anymore
It's not enough to just play anymore

What will happen to all the indie stars?
Yeah
What's gonna happen?

I will say my words
And I hope you hear them right
'Cause there's gonna be some truth
And it's gonna be tonight

But then I heard the word
(I heard the word)
And it made me sing
(And it made me sing)
All things, even the grateful
They eventually go away
Yeah

What will happen to all the indie stars?
Tell me what's gonna happen when you know their time is up?
What's gonna happen when you've heard this song once?
Tell me what's gonna happen

Well it's gonna be loud
(Yeah, yeah)
The song you make
(Yeah, yeah)
'Cause you're in a world
(Yeah, yeah)
That don't appreciate
(Yeah, yeah)
And I'll say it to you
(Yeah, yeah)
The audience
(Yeah, yeah)
This ain't just a song
This ain't just a song
That you'll only hear once
