A song for Sarah called the Quitter, lyrics by NOFX.
Edited on Wed Jul-08-09 12:56 PM by sarcasmo
Be a winner not a problem admitter un quit
Better to be a hepper than a healthy 12 stepper, forfeit
You wanna keep it goin’ but you don’t know how
Everyone at meetings gets a Löwenbräu
You quit, you’re shit, you’re a quitter
(I quit, I’m shit, I’m a quitter)
And no one likes you

Start a pattern of behavior; I see no reason to stop.
You got a habit, got to have it ’til it’s finished don’t stop
The Charlie Chan’s chopped, Pabst pitcher been poured
You got a spare kidney and your liver looks bored
So stop fucking around
(With friends like you I’m fucked)
You’re buying the next round

You wanna be a Thompson, Hemingway, Bukowski
Banging Bill Burroughs lived to 83
You’re famous and you’re rich, quit acting like a bitch
(You’re a fucking dickhead)
And no one likes you!


The last three lines are the BEST.

1. I saw them at the Warp Tour last year when I took my 3 teens
to Las Cruses. They are quite political, and with co-stars Anti-Flag, quite vocal about it.

2. Check out their album War on Errorism.
Great stuff. E.g. The Idiots are Taking Over:

it's not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership conceding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the bitch on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin's rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

the idiots are takin over

7. Their shows are SWEET...
my husband was on a tour with them a few years back, and when they played OKC, I thought the cops' heads were going to explode!

8. Saw Rise Against and Rancid on the 24th in Detroit and Rise Against stage had two upside
down American flags, another great show. The bouncers looked a little confused, no cops needed just the whole building going nuts.
