I had written this song on guitar but I couldn't think of any horn parts to go with it so when I went to Model UN with my school I asked Chris Valentino to write a horn part for it as I played an acoustic guitar. He took it from the classical piece **Manin Veen** that we played in the high school band. The song titled then melded from **Men In Venus** to **Meg Intravenous** to **American Penis** and then the Kid Rock song **American Badass** came out which kinda sucked cause then we seemed unoriginal, but the album is coming out so late that people have probably forgotten that awful song by now. Anyway, the lyrics of this song were about a period where we would play late shows on week nights when we'd have to be in school the next morning at 7:42. It seemed that no one besides ourselves thought it was a good idea. There were no people there, my girlfriend was upset that we couldn't spend time together, my friends thought my band sucked, my parents thought I should concentrate on school, etc. So I wrote a song about it, and also how much not better life would be if we were some big name band all over the place. The second part of this song is about a dance that I went to for school. I didn't want to go at all, but someone begged me to so I said "Fine". It turned out that my blue hair didn't suit well with the status quo of our high school and I was barred from going out afterwards with my pseudodate and her friends to a fancy restaurant. I went with my girlfriend, and Chris Valentino + his date to T.G.I.Friday's. So its about how prejudgments of people are annoying.

## Lyrics

I don't wanna go to the show tonight

'Cause its probably filled with punx and skins who hate my band but still decided to go.

I don't wanna go to the show tonight

'Cause my girl is gonna be upset that I can't spend any time with her alone.

   But will things change if we sign our lives away?

   I'll never have to work a day in your GAP society

   What will we be if this gets bigger than iced coffee

   Will we ignore the kids we meet?

       For starters ask the question what we planned to seek

       When we practiced on Pine St. Nobody knows.

I don't wanna go to the show tonight

'Cause my voice is gone I can't hit a note we played for an hour yesterday.

I don't wanna go to the show tonight

'Cause my parents will say "You got home too late, did you get paid?" cause they don't understand me or the reason I play.

   But will things change if we sign our lives away?

   I'll never have to work a day in your GAP society

   What will we be if this gets bigger than iced coffee

   And you don't wanna know me

       -diocre us getting played on your MTV

       How come we "practiced" on Pine St. Nobody knows

           I don't wanna go to the dance today.

           The rectum of society.

           Gonna fuck the fucking world away tonight!

           Don't like me 'cause my hair is green.

           Why should I talk to you anyway?

           You talk more shit what can I say?

           I'll tear your fucking world down tonight! (234)

I don't wanna be your friend, oh no.

'Cause you go around just spewing shit about everyone else, and you and your whole kind can go to hell.

I don't wanna be your friend, oh no.

'Cause you're just a spoiled bitch who no one likes. Not even worth me making this whole verse rhyme

   What can I say?

   FUCK IT! Sign my soul away!

   I'll never have to work a day in your pretentious and sickening society

   I'm a fake, not what you made me out to be.

       So go home with a disappointed look on your face and stomping with your feet

       John lives on Pine St. Now you all know
