Cut the Ground from Under Our Feet

Nike commercials telling me that skateboarding is not a crime
Maybe not anymore since they bailed it out
From independent and resistant to contracts, million dollar cars
Upgrading culture, conformed to cruise on the mainstream
Graffiti in the galleries, studded belts at the H&M
Tattoos on the playing field, counterculture fully enclosed
Upgrade underground culture if you cannot forbid their domain
Or push them out of the market. If you cannot beat ‘em, join ‘em
They try to cut the ground from under our feet and steal our thunder
How are we supposed to distinguish us from them?
And revolt against the mainstream if it keeps on chasing us
Before you know it you will hear this on your radio
