Lyrics
[verse]
Everybody's dressing up like soldiers of the cool
Trading in their voices for a trending kind of rule
You can buy the outfit but you cannot buy the fight
So who's the real rebel underneath the borrowed light
[chorus]
This ain't a trend, it's a war for who's the realest
This ain't a scene, it's a battle for the feel-list
Load up your irony, aim it at the crowd
This ain't a trend, it's a war and we're too loud
[verse]
Every uniform gets sold before the year is through
Every anthem turns to background noise on cue
I used to think that standing out meant standing tall
Now I'm just another target on the wall
[chorus]
This ain't a trend, it's a war for who's the realest
This ain't a scene, it's a battle for the feel-list
Load up your irony, aim it at the crowd
This ain't a trend, it's a war and we're too loud
[bridge]
Count the casualties in cool
Every kid who broke the rule
Watch the closets full of style
Restock and strike a pose for a while
[chorus]
This ain't a trend, it's a war for who's the realest
This ain't a scene, it's a battle for the feel-list
Load up your irony, aim it at the crowd
This ain't a trend, it's a war and we're too loud
