You're Sorry Now

Screeching Weasel · Teen Punks In Heat [2000]

and i want you to finally look me in the eye.

and i want you to say the words- apologize.

because there's still a part of me that wants you down

there on your knees. i wanna watch you cry as you apologize.

and i know that you're worse off in every way.

it makes me sick when i rejoice when you're in pain.

so you need to make it right so i can get on with my

life; so i don't hate you anymore- apologize.

you're sorry now. you're so sorry now. so just apologize.

You're Sorry Now

Released on the 2000 album Teen Punks In Heat, "You're Sorry Now" stands as a quintessential example of Screeching Weasel's post-punk revival energy. The track showcases the band's signature blend of aggressive guitar work and rhythmic, driving drums, characteristic of their mid-1990s to early-2000s output. As a staple of the genre, the recording captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic that defined the era of garage rock revival. The song reflects the band's focus on high-energy performance and DIY ethos, resonating with fans who appreciate the chaotic, cathartic nature of their music. It remains a defining track in their discography, representing the transition into their later, more experimental phases while retaining the core punk spirit that established their reputation.
