Started back in '83
Started seeing things differently
And hardcore was doing it for me
No More
Started smoking pot
Thought things sounded better slow
Much slower and heavier
Black magic melody to sink this poser's soul

VU Stooges, undeniably cool
Took a lesson from that drone rock school
Manipulate musicians, hack righteous drool
Getting loose with the Pussy Galore
Cracking jokes like Thurston Moore
Pedal-hopping like a Dinosaur, J
Rock n' Roll genius, ride the middle of the road
Milk that sound, blow your load
Soon its smoother than you ever said it go
Four stars in the Rolling Stone

Oh, its sludge rock
and its harsh
Just Gimme Indie Rock!
It's gone big
C'mon Indie Rock
Just Gimme Indie Rock

Taking inspiration from Hüsker Dü
It's a new generation of electric white boy blues
C'mon Indie Rock
It's gone big
C'mon Indie Rock
Just Gimme Indie Rock
Breaking down the barriers
like Sonic Youth
They got what they wanted
Maybe I can get what I want too
C'mon Indie Rock
It's gone big
C'mon Indie Rock
Just Gimme Indie Rock

Time to knock
The hard rock on it's side
Time to knock
The shit right up a storm
Turn to amaze
With the indie sludge
Grunge!
