The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAfter Party


Less Than Jake, "Overrated (Everything Is)" from In with the Out Crowd (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary:
"Maybe I'm jaded and bored,
Always lookin' for more,
Waitin' 'round for the next big fix. I know
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess,
But I couldn't care less,
Don't know what it would take to change me.

"Everybody's so afraid to be different,
Please excuse me now if I don't get it.

"Having sex is overrated,
So is always getting wasted,
Designer drugs and dead-end jobs,
And classic rock is so outdated.
I'm so sick of therapy
And all the things its done to me,
How can I be satisfied
When everything is overrated?

"Maybe the problem is me,
But I won't make-believe
And I can't take this mediocrity.
What if this is a test
And I deserve what I get?
Will I wake up with all the answers?

"Everybody's too afraid to be different,
Please excuse me now if I don't listen…

"Can't stand the normal,
Can't stand the ordinary,
Find me anything
That's extraordinary.
Show me something,
Show me anything!
Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?

"Having sex is overrated,
So is always getting wasted,
All my friends and family
They make my life so complicated.
I'm so sick of apathy
And T.V. show reality,
How can I be satisfied
When everything is overrated?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
When everything is overrated?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
When everything is overrated?"
