One Shot Songtext
von Pulley

"This is it, my one shot at the big time;
I better make it count, stand up and be heard.
Cause I know, if the radio plays this song,
all the kids will buy it for maybe a month from now,
and I won′t be cool anymore.

I've been doing this for the last twelve years
through all the times when no one cared.
Everybody wants a piece of me:
sign on the dotted line,
make what′s theirs is mine.
It'll make you rich you'll see
and there′s a million more just like me.


And I don′t know what's cool anymore,
who am I to say?
If you can′t make that decision on your own
then you're pretty fucking dumb anyway.

This generation: no motivation,
instantaneous gratification,
remote controls, and MTV.
And a generation that′s hypnotized,
lulled by repititious lies,
spoon-fed all their corporate programming.
And I'm not a one-hit-wonder looking to get rich.
I′m not trying to sell out my songs.
I was here before they'd exploited our scene;
I'll be here when they′re dead and fucking gone.

I don′t know what's cool anymore,
and I don′t care what's cool anymore.
I don′t know what's cool anymore,
and I don′t think that I ever cared."
