Lyrics:
I'll be the one to show you the way
You'll be the one to always complain
3 in the morning come a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just can't wait
Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talking to you
Unless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe,
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two
18, balding, star, Golden, fallen, heart
Look at the shaky's whats with the blush
Fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyones gathered to idolize me,
I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
It's been too long since I left the shed,
You kick the bucket and I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made,
Too young to die but old is the grave
I'm a gonna show the way

I was in middle school when this song came out, and I loved the hell out of it. I remember getting excited when it would come on super early in the morning, while it was still dark outside, before I left to bike to school. When I heard their newer stuff getting more radio time and popularity, I was happy they were being recognized as a band, but I was also sad because it sounded so different from THIS album. This album makes me feel so fucking good when I listed to it, whether that's me being a nostalgic loser or not, and the newer few just fall flat for me..

[@ChaseOakley-rw2lx]

I loved this song as a kid. Playing Bully and watching horror movies on my top bunk bed. Went to Bullworth Academy more than my actual school lol 😂

[@TheAerosmith3]

People still have not realized the beauty of KOL's new albums... I'm sorry but I couldn't sit and listen to every single album sounding like Molly's Chambers, The Bucket, Trani, and Red Morning Light. Those are GREAT songs and KOL's first 3 albums are perfect, but ALL their music is AWESOME!!!!!!!! They put a twist into their sound because they wanted to have fun. If you listen to the albums that are "Oh so god awful" then you would hear this older stuff influenced in the new albums. In "Only By The Night" you hear A LOT of their old roots, especially in the song "Crawl". Come Around Sundown is absolutely great. In Mechanical Bull I heard roots from every single album, and it was awesome. I didn't like some new stuff at first, then I kept listening and it got better. KOL doesn't still suck ladies and gentlemen. They still play the stuff you love and the stuff you hate because they love it and they are making music. All their stuff is great. Have a good night.

Finally, I thought I was the only one thinking about the same jaja you read mind. For instance, Come Around Sundown is my favorite album although many critics claim that it was a "poor effort". The peculiar thing about this album is that you have to listen to it as a whole.

[@Croft64]

Totally agree. I love mechanical bull, one of my all time favourite albums.
