Email me any comments or questions.

Anyone and everyone is allowed to add their 2 cents and correct whatever
I did wrong...correct the lyrics also, I'm sure I'm wrong there a couple
of times. I didn't get this off the Punk In Drublic album so I didn't
have access to the lyrics, I had to guess at them. I don't even know if
the PID album even has the lyrics...

REVISION: 5/12/95:
I thank the (three people who mailed me the lyrics to this song. I have now
updated the tab so the lyrics are correct (should be, at least).

Played in standard E tuning. Lots of distortion, pretty high presence.
