lyrics

While plastic was booming
The old world was burning
And some golden ages
Are slow in returning
But don't get your hopes up
Only to be twisted
We're not unaccustomed
To being blacklisted
And we're never gonna
Make it in this town (we don't care!)

When subtlety died
You were lost in the screaming
Aspiring to nothing but
Yesterday's dreaming
That's not to say that
You lack any merit
You play by the rules
And that's fine for a parrot
And we're never gonna
Make it in this town (we don't care!)

Still we stick around
So many wrongs must be righted
We have never been
Trendy, hip, or in
We wouldn't join you
Even if we were invited

Still we stick around
Surrender would ring so hollow
No one else around
Plays this crazy sound
We lead ourselves because
We weren't born to follow
And we're never gonna
Make it in this town (we don't care!)

GET RUDE!

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
