You see it all across the nation
On radio and on big screens
The people flock to the new sensation
A horde of media zombies

Under the surface it awakens
A hidden fear that’s lives inside
A desperate need for validation
All for the promise of an afterlife

I don’t ever want to be like them
You know I’ll never be like them
I’m not gonna buy into this trend I am
Already riding this one in
I don’t wanna wake up on the run
I don’t wanna ever shoot a gun
And you know you’re not my number one
And tell me what does that say about you?

I wonder if we started living
And took advantage of each day
Would we still just be so willing
To throw our cash at this stupid craze

I don’t ever want to be like them
You know I’ll never be like them
I’m not gonna buy into this trend I am
Already riding this one in
I don’t wanna wake up on the run
I don’t wanna ever shoot a gun
And you know you’re not my number one
And tell me what does that say about you?

And now its everywhere I go (3x)
It’s a prediction from Romero

I don’t wanna wake up on the run
I don’t wanna ever shoot a gun
And you know you’re not my number one
And tell me what does that say about you?


It has chords and a tune. its a pretty standard 3 chord punk song, but i figured that that is what it needed.
