about

DIY baby

lyrics

Don't rely on anyone
Do it all yourself

A state of dependence exists and it's gotta change
Young minds growing up banking on some easy green
influenced by rockstar bands who aren't part of their vision or dreams

A dream where community exists of people who struggle hard together but don't rely on anyone to accomplish what they do with their lives and dreams
Lives and dreams
If you're fed up
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
This music was built on this lifestyle and we can take it back to a golden age
Not being exclusive because we have to set an example for the younger bands, the new blood
SET AN EXAMPLE
So they can continue on the DIY way

When will this state of dependance end
Listen up, never put your dreams in anyone elses hands

When will this dependance end?
Over the years the points been proven that this scene that we cherish so much
(Will die off in its own way) x 2
If everyone relys on someone else rather than doing it all themselves

(Let's start on a golden age
Where people will work for their own dreams) x 2
Input in our positive community
And embrace the DIY way

Start a label, form a band, sell cds, book bands when they come around or write for a zine

Get off that dependance
Your dreams are only in your hands

THIS IS NOT TO SAY ANYONE WHO GETS HELP FROM LABELS OR FRIENDS ARE LAZY
BUT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT A TREND IS EMERGING WHERE KIDS EXPECT EASY HANDOUTS
THIS AINT AN MTV SHOW OR AN EASY PROFIT MAKING SCHEME
THIS IS YOUR DESTINY TAKE CONTROL AND DO IT YOURSELF
