This Song (Give Em Hell Kid) Is about getting Knocked Up. Has Anyone Here Ever Gotten Knocked Up?
If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.
Your going to come across a lot of shitty bands, and a lot of shitty people. And if anyone of those people call you names because of what you look like, or because they don't accept you for who you are. I want you to look right at that motherf****r, stick up your middle finger, and scream F**K YOU!

When I was writing it, I was remembering how hard it was to be a 16-year-old in high school. I always wanted to be an artist, so I was this loner kid who just got drunk all the time. I only had one real friend. There was a girl I really liked, and she ended up taking really sleazy photographs with her boyfriend, and that really crushed me, I was just swimming in this pit of despair, jealousy and alcoholism.
There have been tours where we hit a different Wal-Mart almost every night.
This sh*t is easy peasy pumpkin peasy. Pumpkin pie, motherf**ker!
Be Yourself, Don't take anyone's s**t and never let them take you alive...
Be yourself, don't take anyone's shit, and never let them take you alive.
We might stop with 'Ghost.' We could easily put out another video -- we've talked about a whole bunch of possible songs to make videos for -- but we want to focus on doing some touring, and making a new record as soon as possible, ... So maybe we don't need to make another video. But I've always wanted to do a video for 'You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison,' so, really, who knows?

We like to kidnap them in a van, and leave them somewhere dangerous. SURPRISE!
Welcome to the new church! Can I get an 'Amen'?
No one likes the new kid at school because he smells weird and has a penchant for leather and the homoerotic
