When bands are talking shit about the other bands in town   And just to get ahead they drag each other down   When venues only cater to promoters with a national act   They don't care for the local bands   There might be      No scene, no scene, no scene   No camaraderie   This might as well be battle of the bands   No scene, no scene, no scene   No common enemy   We might as well be playing in a talent show   I don't want to be no scene      You know there's a basement show where the kids can go   But you've got to be elite   They're making every standard impossible to meet   At 21 and over you get to play the club   Where the disenchanted go to show no love
