I listened to the song... not as good as their stuff 12 years ago.

I'll be hating you for Christmas is their best song:

Thanks for the Christmas card
I don't want to hear about your new job now
I don't want to hear about your new boyfriend
I don't want to hear about it all working out for you
No I don't want to hear it now
I don't want to hear about your swinging new place
I don't want to hear how everyone thinks it's great
I just want to sit in our apartment and hate you
Yes I will be hating you for Christmas

Then there's bands like Bad Religion that have made their living doing political songs.

I am me and Rummy's he, Iraq is free and we are all together
See the world run when Dick shoots his gun, see how I lie
I'm Lying...

Sitting on my own brain, waiting for the end of days
Corporation profits, Bloody oil money
I'm above the law and I'll decide what's right or wrong

I am the egg head, I'm the Commander, I'm the Decider
Koo-Koo-Kachoo

Baghdad city policeman sitting pretty little targets in a row
See how they die when the shrapnel flies see mothers cry
I'm Lying...I'm Ly-ing...I'm Lying...I'm Ly-ing

Yellow cake uranium, imaginary WMD's
Declassifying facts, exposing secret agents
Tax cuts for the wealthy leaving all the poor behind

CHORUS

Sitting in the White house garden talking to the Lord
My thoughts would be busy busy hatching If I only had a brain

CHORUS


This Link (new window) goes directly to the song (it loads with the page).

Everclear sucks rancid syphilitic cock.
I really really really can't stand their music.

Yeah!
Whoa!

What's so special about Jesus? How about finding out which political party Einstein was loyal to?

 
DontBeSoDigital 2008-10-11 03:33:58 PM  
Sparkle and Fade is still a great album.

I'll get over you... I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
I am the king of wishful thinking

Because bands releasing political songs is a new thing that's only started in the past decade. Right.

 
what_now [TotalFark] 2008-10-11 04:44:42 PM  
I like Everclear. You can all suck it.

 
danduran 2008-10-11 05:05:08 PM  
Why a Democrat? Why assume Jesus is American in the first place?

 
davynelson 2008-10-11 09:21:25 PM  
were they ever relevant?
no, seriously.



/never heard em, too lazy.
//tell me a great everclear tune and i'll download it.

what_now: I like Everclear. You can all suck it.

Agreed. So Much For The Afterglow is a great album.

 
Sherjo311 2008-10-11 10:20:31 PM  
their first 3 albums are all essentials. sparkle and fade is fantastic punk-fueled rock.

/art needs to get back onn the h

 
Sherjo311 2008-10-11 10:22:57 PM  
forgot...

//heroin girl ftw

 
Thaddeus 2008-10-11 10:44:31 PM  
Really strong song.

I posted the lyrics to my blog and a Republican I know says "This is one of the most offensive things I've ever read."

It makes me like it even more.

If there's one thing we can all be certain of it is that it makes all kinds of sense to assert that a 2000 year old religious fanatic from the Middle East is a member of a modern American political party.

 
DontBeSoDigital 2008-10-12 12:54:35 PM  
Bad Religion > RATM

Die Polizei: Bad who?

Ugh. I think Zach De La Roca's whiny, prepubescent voice has done more to turn me into a right-winger than just about any other factor.

 
Take Five 2008-10-12 04:55:11 PM  
I saw Everclear live three times, the last time about seven years ago at the House Of Blues in Myrtle Beach. They put on a great show.

 
subtlehavok 2008-10-12 06:29:37 PM  
i saw everclear in michigan a long time ago, they rocked it out. I kinda like this new song too. Which isn't something i've said about them in like 6 years.

LOL. RATM sounds great, but if you actually listen to their lyrics, you can feel your IQ slipping.

 
stevohansen 2008-10-12 10:24:50 PM  
Ugh... Can't this band up and disappear? It's not Everclear anymore. It's lead singer Art Alexakis and a group of kids 10-20 years younger than him. This is as much the band Everclear as Billy Corgan's new group is The Smashing Pumpkins.

Just end it already, guys. You were good back then. Your time has past. End it now, call yourself something else, or bring back Greg & Craig.

 
TheUltimateLink 2008-10-12 10:53:59 PM  
Is Everclear still doing songs about how much the lead singer hates his dad for leaving him as a kid? seriously, all their songs are like that. grow up, dude!
