Alternative Nation Lyrics - Singles - Better Than A Thousand

Our alternative nation where all the individuals 

Are just being the same, massive imitation 

Just a 90's version of the same rock and roll game 

Yes, the same corporate rock 

But now we're sporting punk rock gear 

Who's shocked by tribal tattoos 

And your pierced ears? 

Search for identity, you put in your time 

To grow to your dread locks 

Change the inside or you'll be just a freak 

But you'll act like a jock 

Costume changes, will never give you 

The answer you're looking for 

Personality can't be purchased 

In a skateboard store 

A music revolution? 

No, I will not invest 

Same old institution 

But I'm not impressed 

We change our scene 

We change our fashion 

But can we change our mind? 

An alternative nation's intellectual 

Unless we change our mind. 

Has the pit just become the dance of the dead 

We're moved by vibration with no brains in our head 

Ego boost put you up on the top of the crowd 

You only care that the music is loud
