Track Lyrics
Substitute Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The first girl that I fell for was a fair and faithful fighter
She smoldered with her will to save the world
I did my best to help her, yeah, I stood shoulder to shoulder
On the front lines with my visionary girl
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wish that she had cared for me
But in the end her ideologies
Occupied the fortress of her heart
I wrote her fifteen songs, but still we had to part
[Chorus 1]
And if music was the food of love
Then I'd be a fat romantic slob
Well, music
It's my substitute for love
[Verse 2]
The last girl that I loved, she was a low and lusty liar
She set my heart on fire but made me choke
Her beauty was a sight to see but she didn't save it all for me
I found other fires by following the smoke
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wish that she had either cared for me or let be me
But she chased me from my mind and from my home
I wrote her sixteen songs but ended up alone
[Chorus 2]
And if love is really all that we need
Then even all my whining is never gonna save me
Music, it's my substitute for love
[Bridge]
Well, I've had many different dimes inside my head
But only one or two inside my bed
These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead
But oh, what I would give
Not to stumble but to really fall in love
And I could substitute my singing for
The sound of someone tied up next to me
Thatcher Fucked the Kids Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whatever happened to childhood?
We're all scared of the kids in our neighbourhood
They're not small, charming, and harmless
They're a violent bunch of bastard little shits
And anyone who looks younger than me
Makes me check for my wallet, my phone, and my keys
And I'm tired of being tired out
Always being on the lookout for thieving gits
[Chorus]
We're all wondering how we ended up so scared
We spent ten long years teaching our kids not to care
And that there's no such thing as society anyway
And all the rich folks act surprised
When all sense of community dies
But you just closed your eyes to the other side
Of all the things that she did
Thatcher fucked the kids
[Verse 2]
And it seems a little bit rich to me
The way the rich only ever talk of charity
In times like the seventies, the broken down economy
Meant even the upper tier was needing some help
But as soon as things look brighter
Yeah the grin gets wider and the grip gets tighter
And for every teenage tracksuit mugger
There's a guy in a suit who wouldn't lift a finger for anybody else
[Chorus]
We're all wondering how we ended up so scared
We spent ten long years teaching our kids not to care
And that there's no such thing as society anyway
And all the rich folks act surprised
When all sense of community dies
But you just closed your eyes to the other side
Of all the things that she did
Thatcher fucked the kids
[Bridge]
You've got a generation raised on the welfare state
Enjoyed all its benefits and did just great
But as soon as they were settled as the richest of the rich
They kicked away the ladder, told the rest of us that life's a bitch
And it's no surprise that all the fuck-ups
Didn't show up until the kids had grown up
But when no one ever smiles or ever helps a stranger
Is it any fucking wonder why society's in danger of collapse?
[Outro]
So all the kids are bastards
But don't blame them, yeah, they learn by example
Blame the folks who sold the future for the highest bid
That's right: Thatcher fucked the kids...
So you're sure you want me to sing this like Frank Turner?
Ask me that question, that same question in a "Wessex" accent
Alright... You really want me to sing this like Frank Turner?
See, people will actually, they'll think you're Frank! We got this...
Scavenger Type Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gigin alone at the bottom of the hill
Our protagonist named Bill
Sets his sights on an anchor steam pint
All he needs is thirteen quarters
Congregated in his hat
[Verse 2]
A crow, a scavenger type
California redemption
Provides him with his rent
Room and board inside of
A fifth of comfort
[Verse 3]
As the wind penetrates his bones
His mind keeps focused
Tidal waves of sound
Catapulted from his horn wail like lovers
The coins don't drop consistent
As does the mercury
His meter slows, realizing a zenith
He's reached perfection
No one did see him die
Eat the Meek Lyrics
6 ContributorsEat the Meek LyricsWhy must we stay where we don't belong
Why must we stay where we don't belong
Because there's never gonna be enough space
So eat the meek, savour the taste
It's always gonna be a delicacy
So lick your chops and eat the meek
Why must we stay where we don't belong
Why must we stay where we don't belong
The factory mass producing fear, bottled
Capped, distributed near and far
Sold for a reasonable price
The people, they love it, they feed it
Brush with it, bathe with it, breathe it
Inject it direct to the blood
It seems to be replacing love
Why must we stay where we don't belong
Why must we stay where we don't belong
Because there's always gonna be token truth
Forgotten code discarded youth
You know there's always gonna be pedigree
One own the air one pay to breathe
Why must we stay where we don't belong
Why must we stay where we don't belong
Falling in Love Lyrics

Who's pickin' this music?
Who picked this one? (Scott)
Scott picked this? Little Scott?
Scott doesn't get it
Yeah, let him play at these disco parties
Scott, oh man
This music is not rockin', just not rockin'
Who is that? (NOFX)
NOFX? Man, no talent
NOFX, No offense, man, just not rockin'
