Industry Corporate

Lyrics

[Intro] Category D: Industry, Corporate [Audience member] "... since you oppose against corporate music industry. Still, you're on a major label, and your clips get shown on MTV, at least, here in Europe. So, we would like to have an explanation on that" [Audience member] "A friend of mine told me, he saw a video of you on MTV. And I just want to ask you: Are they so stupid in their minds, because you are, you have so against MTV, or they just don't know it or what is the reason? " [Consolidated member] "Yes, we have a video on MTV" [Audience member] "You shit on MTV, they show your video clip on MTV. I don't understand why you do that" [Audience member] "Is showing your video on MTV not a big compromise? " [Consolidated member] "Yes." [Audience member] "I don't think you are a hypocrite, but I saw you on MTV last night. How you think about that? " [Consolidated member] "He says - you say you don't think we're hypocrites? He doesn't think we're hypocrites, but he saw us on MTV last night ...is that the same MTV that's over here? " [Audience member] "Don't you think you're oversimplilfying some messages too much? " [Consolidated member] "Yes. Next. " [Audience member] "Um, if you guys are against the music business, why do you have a video on MTV? " [Consolidated member] "Well, look, many people would argue that we're hypocrites, but-" [Audience member] "You're saying music has no meaning. If you're just going to sucks-up to the music industry, why do you do what you do? And I'm glad you do it, but what-how can you reconcile it? " [Audience member] "All right , you guys, say you're on Nettwerk, which is an alternative label. Well -" [Consolidated member] "Nettwerk" [Audience member] "Yeah, well, is this, okay, now, it's an independent label. Why are you guys....lying? " [Audience member] "You have similar views to Fugazi. Yet, Fugazi can play their shows for $5, and they have limits on their prices. I'd like to know why I had to pay $14.50 to come see-" [Audience member] "You have all these anti-corporate statements, and anti-oppression statements in your music. I really like what you're doing a lot. But I have one question: I went to see Fugazi a couple months ago, and their show was five bucks. Why are your shirts twenty bucks? What are you doing with that money? That's outrageous! " [Consolidated member] "We're not Fugazi. We're- I mean- we're not- we're not Fugazi We're not - we're not- we're not Fugazi We're- I mean- we're not- we're not Fugazi We're not - we're not - we're They're way harder than we are."
