Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.
The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

Verse 1: D Urban Hipster the new gangster Em fronting by the club Bm New wave mannequins packing A7 haircuts instead of packing guns D Magazines form overseas Em won't teach you how to feel Bm They trade in their hearts for indie rock A7 charts to tell them what is real
Refrain: Em When did they assume G putting on a costume? Bm Gave them a right A/C# to ostracize Em Out of the woodwork G art aficionados BmA Answer one question
Chorus: D Where is the line? Where is the line? Em Between your fashion and your mind Bm Where is the line? Where is the line? AF# Cause some of us are blind! D Where is the line? Where is the line? Em To be your self is not a crime Bm Where is the Line? Where is the line? AF# Cause some of us are blind!
Verse 2: D She sells street cred with no Em smile at the local record store Bm She's acting the role and dressing A7 the part pretending to be bored D The truth about conformity Em is it bites without a sting Bm Trends come and go but when A7 your alone it doesn't mean a thing

BmA Here today but forgotten tomorrow! D(hold) Here today but forgotten tomorrow! Here today but forgotten tomorrow!
