about

I wrote this at the beginning of 2008 while I was going through a lot of issues with people in the band wayyy before anyone who was recording on this album were involved. I know Atomic Potato is a dumb name for a band but that is what I picked and I was going to stick with it, I was very stubborn. I am a stickler for consistency and I felt like we were going to 'blow up' locally (Get it?) but I also had a lot of problems with some people and promoters at venues and in other bands, this is the real start of the 'struggle'. Heavily influenced by the Sublime, the Arrogant Sons of Bitches and the Streetlight Manifesto.

lyrics

Everybody come on down to see the ska show

And hit the dance floor while the music plays don't waste my time.

It might be faster and you might say its unoriginal

But I'll keep doing this until the day I die

The harmonizing melodies of a church choir gone mad

Theres anger dwelled inside of me

I'm gonna face you now I'm gonna take the blame

Oh what a shame...

How do you explain?

Woahhhhhh

YOU WANT TO change the scene

BUT I DON'T WANT TO feed the corporate machine

1, 2 , 3 and now its all on me

I hate the way you tell me this is "how its gonna be"

LOOK INTO my eyes

and if you stare into them long enough you'll find a big surprise now

You can finally see

The reason for me.


Everybody come on down to see the punk show

Basement filled lets mosh and shout its

Not a fucking crime

It might be louder and you might say its unprofessional

But I'll keep doing this until

The day I die

Someone called the cops another noise complaint

now this house is just a home

A couple stupid kids with no future

I'm gonna face you now I'm gonna take the blame

Headache in my brain

how do you explain?

Its not enough I need to scream I can't express my feelings but

I WANT TO change the scene

BUT I DON'T WANT TO feed the corporate machine

1, 2 , 3 and now its all on me

I hate the way you tell me this is "how its gonna be"

LOOK INTO my eyes

If you stare into them long enough you'll find a big surprise now

You can finally see

The reason for me!
