Dr Syntax – Subcultures Lyrics
Lyrics
Dr Syntax
- I tried to act sociable with the guys down the local
- But soon realized I was bein' too hopeful
- I don't know cars, and I can't throw darts
- So I knew in my heart that I stood no chance
- I tagged along with a gang of vagabonds
- But my plans to bond went badly wrong
- I got nervous, tryin'a rob purses
- Long before the cops surfaced
- I thought 'it's not worth it'
- I spent the night with some hippie types
- Passing the biggest pipe that I've ever seen, in my life
- I thought crusties were all about love and peace
- But they got uppity when I finished off their fuckin' weed
- I tried to get friendly with some trendies
- They tried to tell me to get my hair bleached
- Know what I thought of their fashion tips?
- I said thanks but I'm happy with the natural look I've landed with
- I tried to chill with some garage ravers
- I can't believe what wankers they were
- You have a rude attitude, aren't you ever in a happy mood?
- I met some UK Hip hop heads on the internet
- Thinkin' "yes, I finally found some kids who share my interest"
- They spent the next 60 minutes on some winch and flex
- Bitchin' 'bout who they think is better, Chester P or Jehst
- I started chillin' with some indie kids
- Who dressed as if they didn't have a penny
- When they're clearly privileged
- Obnoxious Oxford posh kids in a mosh pit
- Watch me as if I was dog shit
- I thought "Fuck this."
- I went to a party full of arty farty wanna be dottys
- All dreamin' of the day they paint their masterpiece
- Charming freaks, dressed alarmingly
- So you can't perceive the possibility
- That artistry's not in their arteries
- I met some footy hooligans
- Moody cunts, who can't remember when they first threw a punch
- When I told them that I support no one
- They called me a homo and bust my nose open
- I met some lads who had recently outed
- Who moved like drag queens when they pouted
- I tried to think that it shouldn't be a problem
- But really we just didn't have a damn thing in common
- I met some nasty girls
- Who looked like Barbie dolls
- Dressed in Armani clothes
- I knew their hearts were cold
- They treated me like a thick inbred, with disrespect
- And I don't take shit from stick insects
- I met a couple into S&M
- She was a leggy wench
- He was among the most scary men I've ever met
- They wanted me to wear leather kecks
- Come and sit next to them and be their special friend
- At this point I thought I needed help
- None of these subcultures offered me
- A spot where I could be myself
- I told them all "Fine, do what you like to
- But don't let the limits of your pastime define you"
