Are you really playing or are you playing yourself?
Maybe that guitar should have been left on the shelf...
Shiny new toys making some noise.
Here's where we separate the men from the boys.

HARDCORE FOR HARDCORE.
Ain't gonna break.
HARDCORE FOR HARDCORE.
For those who aren't fake.

Hardcore for hardcore. What the fuck else'?
You think you're a stan! You're only fooling yourself.
Not some false image that you've been trying to steal.
So you can step off until you've learned the real deal.

You're very different. You act really weird.
Or is that's just what's popular this year?
Well you're just a man and I know where you stand.
Another way to bury your head in the sand.

HARDCORE FOR HARDCORE.
Ain't gonna break.
HARDCORE FOR HARDCORE.
For those who aren't fake.

Hardcore for hardcore. Thats what I'm saying.
You think you're so weird? I know its games that you're playing.
So much time posing for your freak appeal.
So you can step off until you've learned the real deal.
