about

This song is probably my favorite to play live. I like to single out a hipster in the audience and pretend I'm singing directly to them, about them.

But seriously, this is loosely about "oogles with iPhones" and "rich punks" and a lot of VCU students that I meet. Its specifically about this one entitled piece of shit that figured she'd tell me all about how to solve all of life's problems, from the perspective of someone with everything.

lyrics

how does it feel? everything you ever wanted
and to be drinking Pabst so distinctly blue collar
don't you have an entire wardrobe of American Apparel
tell me what you do?

so tell me what do you know about violence?
what do you know about poverty?
what do you know about class struggle?
so you got a book, so you got a look
and I know you got money, what else do you need?

the war ain't over there is no revolution
the parties over we don't play with guns
bullets flying family dying is peace an option?
we don't play with guns

I was there at your sixteenth birthday
when your father bought you a brand new car
and I read in the paper the day after you totaled it
that your father bought you another brand new car

so tell me what do you know about avarice?
what do you know about honesty?
what do you know about "your fair share"?
