The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAugust


Reel Big Fish, "The Kids Don't Like It" from Why Do They Rock So Hard? (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary:
"Got some words, I don't know,
Gonna sing 'em, here I go,
Wanna try not to be lame,
Wanna make you feel the same,
I just wanna be someone.

"Don't you know we tried to do something new?
And it may sound real good,
But I don't think we're getting through.

"Because the kids don't like it! No, no!
The kids don't like it! No, no, no!
The kids don't like it, no, they don't like it at all!
I said, the kids don't like it! No, no!
The kids don't like it! No, no, no!
The kids don't like it, no, they don't like it at all, anymore!

"Had a hit. Famous? No.
Easy come, easy go,
Should be happy with what I got,
Should be happy, but I'm not,
I just wanna be someone…

"Though they'd come a day
I'd run out of things to say,
But now I know it's true:
No one listens anyway.

"All we wanted was to do something new,
Doesn't sound so good,
And I know we're not getting through.

"Because the kids don't like it! No, no!
The kids don't like it! No, no, no!
The kids don't like it, no, they don't like it at all!
I said, the kids don't like it! No, no!
The kids don't like it! No, no, no!
The kids don't like it, no, they don't like it at all!
I said, the kids don't like it! No, no!
The kids don't like it! No, no, no!
The kids don't like it, no, they don't like it at all,
Not at all, not at all, not at all anymore!"
