    "This is gonna be my attempt at an ironic, attitude-laden alternative rock tune, you know, with the super-compressed vocals and all that shit. So I'm gonna try to improvise some lyrics that are so deep..." --from the prologue
    Credits: Words & Music: Bill Spiropoulos

    Story Behind the Song
    A self-consciously hamfisted parody of '90s-style navel-gazing post-grunge alternative pop. All the lyrics are completely ad-libbed--the amazing thing is that about 80% actually fit. And as a bonus, I left in three tracks worth of studio chatter at the beginning. Well, I think it's funny, anyway. Instruments: frankenstrat thru Dod Classic Fuzz (both guitars), Peavey Milestone II (bass), back of my Samick acoustic guitar (drum).

    Lyrics
    I've got abs of steel
    Underneath all this flab
    But everybody never noticed
    Everything that's good about me
    I just want to tell
    Everybody I'm here
    Cause I never go outside my house
    And smell the fresh morning air
    Come on

    I'm nobody
    Inside this place
    It's like a little egg and I'm
    Stuck inside all this goo
    Fuckin' everybody just tries
    Makin' sure I know I'm different
    But I don't care, it just
    Gets me down and drives me in here
    Come on

    I spend time doing things
    That make me a better guy
    At least I think so
    It's just that depending on other's standards

    I'm just a hermit
    I'm just a nobody
    Nobody cares if I die-eee
    They would just keep going on
    I'm nobody
    Inside this place
    In this egg I just
    Wanna break out, put a fist through the wall
    Come on

    All this white is getting to me
    Shoulda painted the walls blue
    Beat on the walls
    Let me outta this fuckin' place
