Just Gimme Indie Rock!

Started back in '83
Started seeing things differently.
And hardcore was doing it for me,
No More.
Started smoking pot.
Thought things sounded better slow.
Much slower and heavier.
Black magic melody to sink this poseur's soul.

VU, Stooges... undeniably cool.
Took a lesson from that drone rock school
Manipulate musicians, hack righteous drool.
Getting loose with the pussy galore.
Cracking jokes like Thurston Moore.
Pedal-hopping like a Dinosaur, J.

Rock n' Roll genius, ride the middle of the road.
Milk that sound, blow your load.
Soon its smoother than you ever said it go.
Four stars in the Rolling Stone.

Oh, its sludge rock.
and its harsh.
Just Gimme Indie Rock!
It's gone big
C'mon Indie Rock.
Just Gimme Indie Rock.

Taking inspiration from Hüsker Dü
It's a new generation of electric white boy blues
C'mon Indie Rock.
It's gone big
C'mon Indie Rock.
Just Gimme Indie Rock.

Breaking down the barriers,
like Sonic Youth.
They got what they wanted.
Maybe I can get what I want too.
C'mon Indie Rock.
It's gone big
C'mon Indie Rock.
Just Gimme Indie Rock.

Time to knock,
The hard rock on it's side.
Time to knock,
The shite right up a storm.
Turn to amaze,
With the indie sludge.
Grunge!
