AUTHOR'S NOTE:

I don't know about you, but IMHO, this is the best song on SLATFATS (right next to 'The Desperation's Gone'). It has a great feeling, awesome riffs, great lyrics, and best of all, sounds very similar to 'The Decline' (NOFX's best song), despite coming two years before it. Two guitars, like always...
