Story Behind the Song
Man, we suck. This thing took like three and a half hours. That's way too long for anything that we produce. It sounds better without the vocalists and guitars, too. But you'll never really know that, now will you?
Lyrics
chorus: We don't know what we're doing, but we've got instruments in our hands. We can't use them to make music, and yet we call ourselves a band.
I'm sitting here in back of drums, with drumsticks on the snare. I think I'm supposed to pick them up, but I really don't care!
chorus
I play rhythm guitar, but I wouldn't go so far, as to be sayin' that my playin' has any rhythm. The guys all rock away, and I listen and I play, but I'm never sure if I am playing with 'em.
chorus
This bass is big, it's got four strings, it's plugged into an amp. I like to kick it with my foot, and declare the noise a vamp.
chorus
They say the way we play would be better if it were quiet. The way I play my gui-tar starts an aweful lot of riots.
chorus
I am the lead singer, I shout at this thinger, I'm pretty sure it's called a microphone. They say I'm just a joker, don't even count as mediochre, at least until I get into my zone.
chorus
Yo, I'm the dj, I've got the grooves; I scratch like a maniac. But my boyz don't seem to love me, they always shove me way in back.
