Still haven't made it to the upper echelon of the horror punk scene? Don't get discouraged, just memorize the lyrics from the bridge where VinRen says "LISTEN"and then repeat them verbatim to the upper-echelon horror punks and you're as good as gold... er... pumpkin spice
lyrics
(Vocals delivered in a Ben Foster style vocal delivery)
There's a real cool club and I don't know how to find my way in.
It's just like the Monster Squad but the monsters are the members and there all such good friends - But not with me.
I don't understand, they've been in all my favorite bands.
I even hung out in their van in 1998.
It's not an act! It's true, in fact, I'd even sign a blood contract to be part of the horror punk elite.
The scene club's the only place where you can be yourself!
and all you gotta do is be like everybody else.
The scene club's a special club, where al your dreams come true!
and you won't be a part of it 'cause they're too cool for you!
The Scene Club
There's a real cool club, all I ever wanna be is one of them!
We could hang out at the mall just like Danzig in the 80's, way back when he was thin!But they can't see!
I'd do anything! How many GO's must one ghoul sing, before they stop and realize that I've got what it takes!
It's not an act! It's true, in fact, I'd even sign a blood contract to be part of the kingdom of the creeps!
The scene club's the only place where you can be yourself!
and all you gotta do is be like everybody else.
The scene club's a special club, where al your dreams come true!
and you won't be a part of it 'cause...
LISTEN (Repeat verbatim at next horror punk gathering to gain favor) -
I'd sell 500 tickets just to share the stage!
Crowdfund your kickstart project just to discuss the old days!
I'd pay $100 dollars just for an autograph!
And use your lyrics as my epitaph!
