lyrics

Let's be honest here
I don't like you and you don't like me
I'd have to change to please you
Buy hey I'd rather be free

I know I seem closed minded
but you're the one who's narrow minded
Just because I won't spend a fortune on a shirt
doesn't mean that I'm short sighted

This is who we are and how we work
and there's nothing you can do to wipe off our smirk
You can say what you want but we don't really care
Our hearts are made of something that you can't tear

because you can't change
the way we work
and you can't wipe
away our smirk

So we won't listen to the garbage you drown your ears in
We won't listen to the scripted reality television
So we won't fit in
and we don't care

So I'll be honest one last time
I wouldn't impress you if it costed me a dime
let alone new clothes ideas and lifestyle
you snicker while

I say this who we are and how we work
and there's nothing you can do to wipe off our smirk
You can say what you want but we don't really care
Our hearts are made of something that you can't tear

because you can't change
the way we work
and you can't wipe
away our smirk

The Unbearable Slackers put on one of the best live performances we've ever seen, and are some of the nicest guys we've ever had the pleasure of playing with. No Vertebrae

Observations Of The Human Condition
by Survay Says!

Survay Says! is probably the hardest working band we've ever played with. They go on long tours to keep ska alive, have a lot of fun, and are some of the most genuinely kind and funny people around. No Vertebrae
