Experience The Ozzfish
Screeching Weasel · Screeching Weasel [1987]
somebody told him his band is boring
warren was crying, he felt so bad cause
the punks don't like his bell-bottom pants
experience the ozzfish i went to a party,
brought a tape of their tunes it drove
everybody out of the room ozzfish just
ain't cool anymore cause ozz don't listen
to any hardcore some people might say i
got no taste they say the band sounds like
shit cause they don't have a bass some
people might say i got no brains
but ozzfish is driving my neighbors insane
