"For The Krishnacore Bands" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

You stuck by the scene
But did the scene stick by you?
In a few cases yes
Maybe in one or two

You routinely got called out
By Maximum Rock and Roll
And you weren't ever gonna fit in
At the Fireside Bowl

And back in the day punks
Practically declaring war
As if there were anything
More orthodox then hardcore

As if there were anything more orthodox then hardcore

You stuck to your guns
When you were running out of ammo
Even on package tours
Supporting metalcore guys in cammo

Find more common threads
Then you'd expect to in these places
Always see the holy name
Light up a few new faces

And back in the day punks
Still with plenty of shit to stay
Covertly cashing in on dead stock of your early demos on ebay

But where were they
On the night you first shaved your head?
Drinking bear in a field some place with all creation overhead

And where were they
When they locals were all ganging up on you?
Lining up to join some nearly identical crew

You stuck it out for several years or maybe you moved on
Nobody's really sure where Giant Vita's [?] gone
Some say he's a stoner now
Creeper Dave swears that's true
But when you point one finger at the Krishnapunks
I've got two fingers up for you

And back in the day punks
Singing the same old song
About the kids who brought the banquet to the matinee
But preached just a little too long
Yeah they preached just a little too long
