Artist picture
Punk Pathetique from Western Pennsylvania.
Sam Sinister was born a hairy, pasty neurotic with obsessive compulsive disorder and two belly buttons. He had very few friends, until one day he learned how to drive an automobile and started giving rides to other truants whenever he'd skip school. Also, he started smoking pot. He stopped brushing his teeth and showering, and went through a string of failed romances. Then he traded in his marijuana habit for alcohol. Luckily, that's all behind him (except for the booze). He discovered he could form bands a little late in life, so he made several clones of himself and taught them how to play instruments. Then he wrote a bunch of stupid songs and got writer's block. Every so often, a new song will surface, so keep checking back for the genius that is Sam Sinister and the Plastic Sinister Band.

Story behind the song
"Oi! Used to Be a Friend of Mine" is a jab at both paint-by-numbers love songs and countless Oi! songs that are about, well, Oi! itself.
Lyrics
We are the wave of the future, but in love with the past Did you really think punk rock wouldn't last? We may fade away, but rock and roll is here to stay Load it up, take it out, set it all up Yeah, rock this joint 'til the walls come down Burn that bridge when it's time to cross Pedal to the metal, and I feel real boss 10:30 gig on a Saturday night 10:30 gig and I feel alright We're gonna load it up, take it out, set it all up Yeah, rock this joint 'til the walls come down Club owner says it's time to go PA man, he wanna steal my show I grab another beer, I give it a chug I say, "Come over here if you wanna pull my plug" Burn that bridge down to the ground There's the door if you don't like this sound You'll all fade away, but punk rock is here to stay Load it up, take it out, set it all up Yeah, rock this joint 'til the walls come down We are the wave of the future, but in love with the past Did you really think our music wouldn't last? You'll all fade away, but Oi! Oi! Oi! is here to stay Load it up, take it out, set it all up Yeah, rock this joint 'til the walls come down
