The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAugust

Mustard Plug, "We're Gunna Take On the World" from Pray for Mojo (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary:
"Open up your ears, my friend,
I'll tell you a story that never ends,
About the band that plays for you now.
It started back in '91,
Started playin' just for fun,
And couldn't stop ourselves, didn't know how.

"Then we began playing shows,
And kids started tapping their toes,
And people kept askin' for more,
And even though we really sucked,
We kept it up, didn't give a fuck,
'Cause that's what the music is for!

"We're gunna take on the world!
Come on, every boy and every girl,
We're gunna take on the world!
Come on, every boy, every girl!

"Then a man from Hollywood
He said to sign, he said we should,
But we were too drunk to respond.
'You'll be so rich, yeah,' said the man,
'You'll get a bus and leave the van,'
But we were too punk to move on!

So we went back on the road,
And kids kept on coming to shows,
We sang, danced, and drank lots of beer,
And so it goes, we'll never stop,
We'll tour 'til we reach the top,
We'll tour 'til the end of our years!

"We're gunna take on the world!
Come on, every boy and every girl,
We're gunna take on the world!
Come on, every boy, every girl!…"
