Well I believe that alternative is dead
I used to be a grunge-rocker man
Corporate greed has choked the scene
Making it all dumb and trendy
Well I believe that alternative is dead and it ain't coming back
It ain't what it used to be
All these dumb kids crowding all around me
Junior highers, grabbing the flyers
Going to the shows I want to see
Well, I believe that we'll learn from what happened before
So all the bands we see now
Won't end up in a Tower Records store
The Wolfman's a-prowling, searching for a brand new baby face
To fill Eddie Vedder's job
Well, I believe that job's not for me
Go pick on someone else
It ain't what it used to be,
All these dumb kids crowding all around me
Junior highers, grabbing the flyers
Going to the shows I want to see
Well I believe alternative is, alternative is dead
