The Rebel Black Dot Song o' Nine Days 'til SKApril

Nothing for Something, "Ska Kids" courtesy Sergeant Ska (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: 2 April 2012, the second day of the second SKApril. I try not to predict the future, but I can all but guarantee that this sequence—first song of the first SKApril, second song of the second SKApril—will not persist.
"Well, I see you at our shows and I think that you see me,
I get all my hopes up oh so desperately,
But after we play and I look for you some more
You are long gone and I want to scream, 'Whore!'

"But when I think about it,
Well, I think I understand,
Who'd want to kiss a guy like me?
Who'd want to hold my hand?

"Many guys will leave the show tonight
With a little girl in tow (alright),
For us it's always just dance, dance, dance,
And we never will get a chance!

"'Cause ska kids (Hey!) we never get laid,
And ska bands (Hey!) they never get paid,
Oh no, oh no, oh no…"
