She's got a place to go when she gets sad
She opens her window and sits on the roof whenever she is feeling bad
She's sick of these rules
And she's sick of this world
And she's totally sick of her life
She says the mundane fries like eggs on her brain
And now we all think she's lost her mind
Kathy's on the roof again
She's going down
Eating too little and sleeping too much
She was manic and now she's depressed
She ought to be with her peer group
Indeed she just needs to get things off her chest
They prod and they probe they sedate and they shock
They can't seem to get through to that girl
She only speaks about once every week
And then all she'll say is fuck the world
Kathy's on the roof again
She's going down
Her mother says she's crazy
And her sister says she's not
But everybody thinks she's flaky
We've gotta figure out just what's wrong with her
It's time to look into the cabinet
And make sure Kathy is taking her meds
It's time to prop Kathy in front of the TV
And wipe the drool off her dress
The sound of the Mexicans cutting the lawn
Again was buzzing throughout the whole house
We couldn't find her so we looked outside
And saw Kathy all over the ground
The lyrics KATHY'S ON THE ROOF of SCREECHING WEASEL is also present in the album How to make enemies and irritate people (1994)
Gli Screeching Weasel sono una band punk rock originaria di Chicago, Illinois, formatasi nel 1986. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti del movimento pop-punk degli anni '90, hanno pubblicato un'ampia discografia caratterizzata da melodie orecchiabili e testi ironici e spesso autocritici. Il loro sound è una miscela di punk rock classico, power pop e melodic hardcore, con influenze provenienti da band come The Ramones, Buzzcocks e Green Day. Il gruppo ha attraversato diverse formazioni nel corso degli anni, ma il frontman Ben Weasel (Ben DeLape) è sempre rimasto la figura centrale. Tra i loro album più noti figurano "My Brain Hurts" (1993), "All the Songs About You" (1995) e "How to Make a Punk Rock Record" (2001). Screeching Weasel hanno contribuito a definire il sound del pop-punk moderno, influenzando numerose band successive. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi includono "Teenage Wasteland", "She's My Girl" e "The Ballad of Ben Weasel".
