Lyrics

Bilingual
In the middle seat of a westbound plane
I thought about hair metal and Kurt Cobain
How did a junkie end a genre of debauchery
That kind of smells like irony
You can blame old hip hop and R&B
For all this twanged out swill called pop country
Cause the white boys getting freaky at the frat parties
They're now running Tennessee
They're singing
Monster Ballads in the rain
Axl Rose has a thorn or something strange
And I'm walking with my dog
I call him Lester Bangs
He don't like nobody but me
The voice of generation won't speak
Until the ink dries on her new endorsement deal
And when it does she looks right into camera 3
And says, "Baby let's go gluten free"
And everybody's killing it, borrowing and stealing it
Take a picture baby that's how we will remember it
Don't that sunset look so nice
That's just California on fire
We're singing
Monster Ballads in the rain
Don't stop believing things are gonna change
And I'm walking with my dog, I call him Lester Bangs
Man, he don't like nobody but me
In the middle seat of an Eastbound plane
Next to a kid binge watching Sean Hannity
He's grumbling something about freedom and democracy
Christ, keep it down kid I'm trying to sleep
See, soon you'll join a gym and bet on contact sports
Build a big mcmansion with a wrap-around porch
It'll all go great until your first divorce
Ain't nothing fair in love and war
You're singing
Monster Ballads in the Rain
Don't stop believing that things are gonna change
And I'm walking with my dog, I call him Lester Bangs
Man, he don't like nobody but me
That's right, Don't like nobody but me
Oh man, sometimes I'm not even really sure, he even likes me
La da da da da da da da da
