Story behind the song
One night I was really pissed off, so I locked myself in my "studio" and wrote and recorded a song. It didn't take me long, it just sort of came out.
Lyrically, it's about wallowing in self-pity, and picking yourself up out of it. In a word, it's about hope. Today might suck, but tomorrow's still bright as ever.
Lyrics
i can't understand why everyone sucks so bad
after all i'm a man, i'm one of them
saturday i sit at home, angry at the world
mind ill-content to roam dwells upon my misfortune
i'm never happy
there's always something else i need
has to go my way
i'm about ready to give up on me
what a pain in the ass i am
gotta get up and see the world
stop feeling sorry for me
i can understand pissing and moaning
i've got a lot of sand in my suit and it chafes
and i could bitch and bitch all day and all of the night
or i could inch a stitch along and make it alright
someday i'll be happy
someday i'll get what i need
might not go my way
but i'm not ready to give up on me
what a pain in the ass i am
gotta get up and see the world
stop feeling sorry for me
