From the album Dumpster Generation.
A Billion Ernies are a ska/hardcore/(genre) band from Hemet, California. Their lyrics are heavy with political content and religious ideas. I am not a christian or a wobbly myself, but I agree passionately with most of this band's lyrics. They're amazing live and this is one of my favorite albums of recent years. Do yourself a favor and download this album for free from communityrecords.org While you're there check out bands like Brunt of It, The Flaming Tsunamis, Stuck Lucky, and Fatter Than Albert. then do all of those bands a favor by going to their shows and promoting for them. It takes a village.
Here's the lyrics because the lyrics are very important to the band:
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR, ANOTHER 8 HOURS OF FEELING USED. THIS IS NOT WHERE IM SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT YOU SAY THIS IS RESPONSIBLE, TIME TO GROW UP, STOP ACTING LIKE A CHILD. HOW DO YOU KNOW WHATS BEST FOR ME? SO I SIT HERE FIGHTING MY OWN PERSONAL WAR. I WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOU, I KNOW THAT I HAVE MORE TO GIVE. YOU ARE THE ENEMY.I AM NOT ONE OF YOU. YOU STAND FOR ALL THAT I DESPISE AND YOU DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH. STAY AWAY! DONT COME NEAR ME! WHY CANT YOU SEE THE MONSTER YOU CREATED? YOUR GREED IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS MISERY. WE JUST CANT LIVE LIKE THIS, AND WE WILL FIGHT TILL OUR LAST DYING BREATH. YOU CANNOT HAVE MY LIFE, IT ALREADY BELONGS TO SOMEONE WHO IS CALLING ME TO STAND UP TALL. LIVING IN THIS RUT IS GETTING ME NOWHERE. I NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE. ANYWHERE.
