For the Krishnacore Bands

You stuck by the scene, but did the scene stick by you?

In a few cases, yes, maybe in one or two

You routinely got called out by Maximum Rock and Roll

And you weren't ever gonna fit in at the Fireside Bowl

And back in the day punks

Practically declaring war

As if there were anything

More orthodox then hardcore

As if there were anything more orthodox then hardcore

You stuck to your guns when you were running out of ammo

Even on package tours supporting metalcore guys in cammo

Find more common threads then you'd expect to in these places

Always see the holy name, light up a few new faces

And back in the day punks

Still with plenty of shit to stay

Covertly cashing in

On dead stock of your early demos on eBay

But where were they on the night you first shaved your head?

Drinking beer in a field some place with all creation overhead

And where were they when they locals were ganging up on you?

Lining up to join some nearly identical crew

You stuck it out for several years or maybe you moved on

Nobody's really sure where Jayadvaita's gone

Some say he's a stoner now, Creeper Dave swears that's true

But when you point one finger at the Krishna punks, I've got two fingers up for you

And back in the day punks singing the same old song

About the kids who brought the banquet to the matinee

But preached just a little too long

Yeah they preached just a little too long
