Don't let anyone tell you you better grow up soon or face the consequences of a life not planned out.
that's exactly what you need.
i'm here to tell you leave the bullshit you've been taught behind and find out for yourself that work is slavery and it makes you a slave.
and i know it's easy for somebody like me to say.
but i dropped that fucking life and i don't regret the bridges that i burned, mistakes i made; they're what i learned from.
yes, you've gotta pay the rent and feed yourself and then pay all the bills and taxes 'til you're ready to explode and kill yourself and those who get in your way.
don't misunderstand me- i'm just trying to remind you that your life is not tv and things don't just work out; most of the time you're miserable.
the american dream is a big fucking lie; a wild goose chase.
you're here to make the richest six percent a little richer.
Don't you want something better? don't you want something that lasts? they're not your friends- they're your masters and they don't care if you live or die.
you've gotta get out on your own.
you've gotta get out of this stupid town and try to live for once instead of just existing.
and i guarantee that pretty soon you're gonna see that things aren't half as good or as bad as they used to seem now that you're a thorn in the side of society; now that you're part of the problem; the ruination of a system that keeps you down, steals your money and your hope and then smacks you around.
don't you want to get out of this town? don't you want to get out of this fucking life?

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".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
