This song is about when our old bass player, Tyler Lee Witt, went to jail in early 2009 and we had to have our friend Scott Meadows fill in on bass for us for a lot of shows that spring. A lot of rumors went around as to why Tyler went to jail and this song talks all about them. Tyler also appears on this track on the phone. There is a lot of self deprecation, corruption in the music scene, media and plenty of anger and random references once again. Also, the entire first verse of this song was directly taken from Tyler's MySpace bio!... HA! What?... Fun times.
lyrics
My name is Tyler Lee Witt
and in the next 5 years
it'll be a household name
I've done more growing up
in the past 5 months
than I have in my entire life
I've finally found the light
I finally know what I'm here for
I've put smoking weed and
Robbing corner stores
I'll take it back
This life is mine its all my own
The future starts at my grandma's house at my computer all alone
I'll seperate myself from them and make a bunch of new friends
I'll start a new band and make it so
EVERYONE CAN LISTEN
to the catchy songs we'll write
we'll fucking record with Joey Sturgis
The kids will line up to see our pretty faces headlining at the attic
$20 a head could pay for our honest rave review
In the latest issue of SPIN where I'll be rockin the front cover
Lookin like Billie Joe Armstrong meets a 'Breakfast Club' Judd Nelson
My name is Tyler Lee Witt
and in the next 5 years
it will be a household name
I've done more growing up
in the past 5 months
than I have in my entire life
WOO!
Drop the Anchor!
I'm on a boat motherfucker!
I'm rollin in the bills and I've got so many bitches that I
Hit it and I quit it outta notches on my belt and the
paparazzi love it when I come out my hotel.
My name is Robert Dale Sager
and in the next five beers
I'll be digging my own grave
I've done less growing up
in the past 5 years...
then I have in my entire life.
