New Vanguard Lyrics

Kick it back and hit reset
Clear the way for the new vanguard
Pull back those static drapes on culture wares' creative flares
Everything's been there done that
So look for it deep inside

Scraps from yesterday's heap
Some new generation's feast
But that old navel-gazing
Won't get us anywhere

And do you remember
the last time things all sounded the same?
And will you remember
when pop swallows itself whole once again?

Father Time playing the slayer
Usher in the New Vanguard
Those Draculas are overexposed and drained by their time in the sun
Everything's been there done that
So look for it deep inside

Uniformed like Colorforms
Or whatever gets mandated
And your come wither stare
It's no longer so complicated

And do you remember
when nice homes weren't so unique?
And do you remember
where you found and earned your privileged angst?

And will you remember when
the ivory towers collapse?
And will you remember when
the talking heads go and pin it on
the new vanguard?
