The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAugust

Reel Big Fish, "Everything Sucks" from Turn the Radio Off (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary:
"There's a ska band on my street,
A little ska band, everything thinks that they're so fucking neat,
There was nothing on the radio,
Gonna make my own band, play my own show,
They don't work; so, I'm giving up again.

"She said she loved me 'cause I play guitar,
That's O.K., I didn't love her at all,
And I sing, giving up because—

"I know everything sucks, yeah!
I know everything sucks, whoa-o-o!
I know everything sucks, yeah!
And this is gonna be the last time you hear me complain!

"Well, I went down to the show,
Everybody was there, I didn't want to go,
(Here we go!)
'Cause everything they do is so fucking cool,
Every song is a hit and the girls like 'em, too,
I can't do that; so, I'm giving up again.

"I don't know why I learned to play guitar,
Nobody's gonna know who we are,
And I sing, 'Giving up because—

"I know everything sucks, yeah!
I know everything sucks, whoa-o-o!
I know everything sucks, yeah!
And this is gonna be the last time you hear me complain!

"She said, 'Someday, we'll get back together, maybe.'
She said, 'Someday, things will be much better, baby.'
But I don't believe her,
I don't think I need her anymore!…"
