The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: SKAfter Party


Less Than Jake, "Overrated (Everything Is)" from In with the Out Crowd (The Last Angry Man)

Skammentary: Yes, this is a test. This whole life is a test. You're taking it every moment of every day, whether you know it or not.
"Maybe I'm jaded and bored,
Always looking for more,
Waiting 'round for the next big fix, I know.
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess,
But I couldn't care less,
Don't know what it would take to change me.

"Everybody's so afraid to be different,
Please excuse me now if I don't get it.

"Having sex is overrated!
So is always getting wasted,
Designer drugs and dead-end jobs
And classic rock is so outdated!
I'm so sick of therapy
And all the things it's done to me,
How can I be satisfied
When everything is overrated?

"Maybe the problem is me,
But I won't make believe,
And I can't take this mediocrity.
What if this is a test
And I deserve what I get?
Will I wake up with all the answers?

"Everybody's too afraid to be different,
Please excuse me now if I don't listen…

"Having sex is overrated,
So is always getting wasted,
All my friends and family
They make my life so complicated.
I'm so sick of apathy
And T.V. show reality,
How can I be satisfied
When everything is overrated?
When everything is overrated?
When everything is overrated?"
