about

A perfect marriage of melody and aggression. An angry reaction to the creeping paranoia that comes with even modest degrees of success.

lyrics

big fish in a little pond gets nibbled by the school
once it has exceeded the parameters of cool
big fish in a little pond gets nibbled bit by bit
once the bottom feeders have grown weary of the shit

and here comes the backlash
here comes the testament of fools
you didn't read the footnotes
to the old unwritten rules
and here comes the backlash
here comes another kind of mess
they love you when you're down and out
but not as a success

little minds in little towns have nothing much to say
damn you if you're moving on and damn you if you stay
little minds in little towns grow smaller all the time
in these parts ambition is regarded as a crime

don't you let them push you 'round
and tell you what to be
if you're okay with yourself
then you're okay by me
