Crying In My Beer
Screeching Weasel · Thank You Very Little [2000]
What will it take to stop your whining
What will it take to make you amscray
What will it take to stop your crying
I know that you've been so bored since the Circle K closed down
So if it makes you feel a bit better just picture me
Crying crying in my beer
I got a feeling you've been damaged
I think you've got way too much time on your hands
I throw away your stupid little letter
Like Margie Whipple you don't get it
If you were a TV show baby you would've been cancelled
Do to declining viewership recycled plots and bad acting
Crying in my beer
It's pointless to wonder what life would be like with you and me
'Cause me minus you equals one less little parasite less
I'm crying in my beer
Crying In My Beer
Crying In My Beer stands as a quintessential example of Screeching Weasel's enduring punk rock sensibilities. Released on the 2000 album Thank You Very Little, the track captures the band's signature blend of melodic hooks and self-deprecating humor that has defined their career since the late 1980s. Frontman Ben Foster's songwriting often explores themes of alienation and everyday struggles, delivered with the high-energy urgency characteristic of the genre. This recording reflects the group's ability to maintain their distinct voice across decades, bridging their early independent releases with later studio efforts. The song remains a staple for fans who appreciate the band's consistent output and their significant contribution to the punk canon. It exemplifies the straightforward, emotionally resonant style that has kept Screeching Weasel relevant within the broader punk community.
