Skammentary: Once one begins listening to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, it is hard to pick just one song, but this is the one that originally caught my ear.
"One day my skeletons appeared
And I knew where they were coming from,
I'm out of rope, I volunteered,
And I never thought the day would come.
"Some boundaries I once overstepped,
Shortcomings I must now accept,
Secrets that could not be kept,
I wish my skeletons had slept.
"You're not being honest, really,
You really don't know how to be,
Take an honest look at yourself,
Try a little honesty.
"To further add to my demise,
Demons never exorcised,
Appeared before my very eyes,
To one one's, just my own, surprise.
"Scenario just so surreal:
Demons once so well concealed,
But now throughout my whole ordeal
So real and painfully revealed.
"You're not being honest, really,
You really don't know how to be,
Take an honest look at yourself,
Try a little honesty.
You're not being honest, really,
And honestly you've never been,
You ought to take a look at yourself,
Let the honesty begin.
"In flew the accusations,
Like razor-toothed insinuations,
Each curse my own creation,
And every monster my invention.
Beasts, they came to burden,
Hell, I let whatever stirred in,
And I couldn't get a word in
At this unearthly intervention.
"They let up when they knew that got through,
They knew I'd never be the same,
With little left to say or do,
They left as quickly as they came.
"The life was scared half out of me,
Someway, somehow I survived,
A part of me was proud of me
The day my skeletons arrived.
"You're not being honest, really,
You really don't know how to be,
Take an honest look at yourself,
Try a little honesty,
Try a little honesty!"
