lyrics

I don’t wanna be a wannabe
a part of your hypocrisy
but how do I compete in this industry
if I don’t wanna be a wannabe

we’re all just a click away from fame
just depends on whose thumb you’re sucking on
the mean green is the way of the machine
not like the days of Clapton and Vaughan
so you wanna make it big
do you wanna go somewhere
you got to pay the bills if you don’t have the skills
got to pay your way to make the people care

‘cause they don’t care about what you want
they just wanna sing along
to the siren song

I don’t wanna be a wannabe
a part of your hypocrisy
but how do I compete in this industry
if I don’t wanna be a wannabe

'cause they don't care if your heart's not in it
hurry up, you've only got one minute
to show us what you're made of
I don't have words for this part
I'm not sure what to say,
but it'll go a little something like this

‘cause they don’t care about what you need
they just wanna watch you bleed
so give them what they need

I don’t wanna be a wannabe
a part of your hypocrisy
but how do I compete in this industry
if I don’t wanna be a wannabe

I don’t wanna be a wannabe

Today, The Zannies are recognized for a signature bass-driven hard rock style and a wide range of songwriting. The band has been described as “blues punk” for their use of pentatonic guitar solos over a punchy rhythm section and blunt vocals.
