i used to be in a ska band
back in '98 the exposure was great
somehow the radio we managed to infiltrate
we were living on an emotional high
our sax player never guessed we'd say goodbye
but to stay in the mainstream we had to be sly

lifes tough
fads change
and we had to change
so we could keep the stage

i heard some kid say 4th wave
is right around the next year or two
but we wont wait or fade
last week i got a call to guest host trl

so oh well i guess youre in a fix
just play all your old cds from 1996
no more rock with horns for us
i heard our last two brass players finally quit

oh well...
lifes tough
fads change
and we had to change ourselves
you think you wouldnt change yourself?

pretty boy listen up this aint no revolution soundtrack
hey baby dont speak we aint ever gonna get back
