You know, I was listening to your song "Reeko" on the way over...
Yeah. How's it go? "The keg has been sucked dry..."?
The only guy who isn't drunk is the bastard counting the money.
We used to do all those things. With the Ex-Lax and all that.
But then you break in with the line, "Mr. President, please understand..." It's almost like another song has been grafted to the end.
The other song is about the economy, actually. You know, I've been to England a lot, and I see this country turning into England. You go downtown and all the stores are closed. It's a fish and chips shop, a couple of clothing stores and everything else is closed and everyone's out of work.
People have to... This is going too far. It's just all consumerism, you know? People ought to just stop wanting things. If you don't want anything, then you don't have to work so fucking hard.
Well, that puts you in an interesting position then, doesn't it?
Entertainment is different. Entertainment is something that... it's not a hundred dollar shirt, you know? Even though a CD's overpriced...
Look, I actually was going to try to set up Fat Wreck Chords, my label, in a lot of libraries, you know, across the country. You know, you could get so much music in a library. A library's like what America is based on. It's almost like the most communist thing there is, you know? There's no profit in it.
And like, you know, everything you see on TV is a gadget. You get it and you don't want it, you know? Everyone who's making these things is pissed off, 'cause they're sitting in some factory making some weird device and the one who has to sell it on the fucking phone is pissed off too. No one is enjoying this at all, so why not get rid of every part of it? And then you have people who aren't so fucked up.
