Lyrics: Now my life is easy My life ain't hard I'm gonna spend all day In my fuckin' backyard I ain't got no money Hell, I don't care My parents let me use their credit card I've got nowhere to go Just hang out on the street My folks say I've got no ambition At least I give a shit About the stuff I eat Yeah! I care about nutrition Tried to get a job At the retail store But I could not stand the competition Now I spend all my time Hangin' out at the shore Givin' myself a skin condition I've got nowhere to go Just movin' on my feet People say I've got no ambition At least I give a shit About the stuff I eat Yeah! I care about nutrition Sometimes I get upset When I see on the TV All them people in this world That is starvin' But there's nothin' in this world That could possibly bother me When I smell the turkey that is carvin' Boy I'm starving Christ I'm starving! My folks said I gotta get myself a job 'Cause they ain't gonna support me Well, if all I am to them Is just some lazy slob Why didn't they abort me? I guess I'll just hang out On Broad and South Livin' by my intuition At least I give a shit What I put into my mouth Yeah! I care about nutrition Nutrition It's good for me Nutrition I've got vitamin C I care (x3) I give a healthy shit And mom and dad say if I eat all of my food I can go to the hard core show and see F.O.D. |
Tablature:
Notes: Broad & South - Streets in Philadelphia. South Street gets a lot of mentions in Punk Rock Girl. F.O.D. - (From the Official Site's FAQ) Stands for "Flag of Democracy" - a great band from Philly who are still around. I think they have some CD's out on a German label. We used to play and go to the local all ages hardcore punk shows back in the mid 80's with them. F.O.D. are also mentioned in Milkmen Stomp. You can also see the file for the Chaos Rules version here. Comments: Another favourite... Just the absolute best subject matter for a song! Love that last verse, and the use of swearing is just sublime. Not like the rubbish the kids listen to these days... (trails off into semi-old person rant) ... Mike Brennan: I'd heard about this song before I got the CD, and my first response was...that's it? Not too catchy. |
