    Story Behind the Song
    Recorded in Johns Basement, WE were Probably drunk. Took Joel 700 Guitar Takes

    Lyrics
    FIRST IMPRESSION - Selling Out (lyrics)

    Got together with a couple friends
    Decided that we'd make a band
    And then we found some friends to call our fans
    And then we wrote a catchy track
    Recorded it and played it back
    For all our fans to add to their cd rack

    But then the radio came along
    And started playing our song
    And suddenly all of our loyal fans were gone
    They'd see us and they'd scream and shout
    Hey look, those guys, they sold out

    And now we're doing shows each day
    Everywhere we go they let us play
    But no one cares about a thing we have to say
    Cuz now we've got this giant hit
    We sell a million a week
    But no one hears the message that we speak

    Cuz when the radio came along
    And started playing our song
    People ignored the message they just sang along
    They'd see us and they scream and shout
    When's the next single coming out

    How'd this happen? we're just four punk guys
    Suddenly around business suits and ties
    These people are so shallow they won't look you in the eyes
    So now we've figured out our path
    Gonna go get signed to Epitaph
    And finally get this label off our backs
    Cuz MTV is so empty
    And now we see

    That when the radio came along
    And started playing our song
    We should have told them farewell and so long
    And now the people scream and shout
    That band they fizzled out
    But if they'd look around
    They find us rockin out the underground
