Lyrics
Welcome to the fashion show Fuck what you did to earn it, tell me who you know Sign the contract so you can't leave us when you grow We own you now, make no mistake Better look them in the eye, do what they say, for your careers sake Who do you think you are? Would you change everything about yourself just to be a star Pucker up just to get an audition, now here's a mint for all that ass you'll be kissin'

We're going back to our old ways, everything was gold days Where have they gone where are they? Now we see that you're leading us along To a place we don't belong Put smiles on all the wrong faces End up in all the wrong places Now we see that you're leading us along We're going back to our old ways

Let me remind you not to forget who we writin' these songs for You're just a pawn on the industry the chess board Navigatin' conversations leave the truth under your hat If you say whats on your mind, boy they gon' remember that We made you, we gave you a shot, we're the only friends you got Now give us what we want, whether you like it or not Write something to make me look good for the suits Fuck music politics I'm going back to my roots

We're going back to our old ways, everything was gold days Where have they gone where are they? Now we see that you're leading us along To a place we don't belong Put smiles on all the wrong faces End up in all the wrong places Now we see that you're leading us along We're going back to our old ways

Freedom is a feeling that I can't recall Might as well be writing all my songs on a prison wall Now I see past all the mirrors and smoke I gave my whole life away with a pen stroke

Lining your pockets on the backs of the artists Thrown away because my song never charted You promised! Glory and fame remember my name But when it didn't work out I'm left with the shame Of being, another washed up, has been, never was Still the label got its cut like it always does Lived a lifetime with your foot on my neck Fuck a contract I'm taking back what life I have left

We're going back to our old ways, everything was gold days Where have they gone where are they? Now we see that you're leading us along To a place we don't belong Put smiles on all the wrong faces End up in all the wrong places Now we see that you're leading us along We're going back to our old ways

We're going back to our old ways, everything was gold days Where have they gone where are they? Now we see that you're leading us along We're going back to our old ways
