The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XVI

Five Iron Frenzy, "Plan B" from Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: We welcome back Five Iron Frenzy, who were part of that first SKApril way back in 2011, but have not enjoyed the SKApril limelight since the annus horribilis 2020, when we were all encouraged—in many cases, required—to give up on life & just lay about the house all day.
"Fell asleep with my clothes on,
Dropped my keys on the front lawn,
Waking up, I watch the drool a-gleaming
From my mouth to the carpet, it is streaming.

"Giving up
Never felt so good,
Welcome to plan B! (Welcome to plan B!)

"I'll eat some moldy bread,
Then I'm going back to bed,
I know how this day will crescendo:
I'll fall asleep while I play Nintendo.

"Giving up
Never felt so good,
Welcome to plan B! (Welcome to plan B!)
Giving up,
What is the likelihood
Life could be so free? (Life could be so free?)…"
As was so well stated in
The Shawshank Redemption, "Get busy living or get busy dying."
