I Just Called to say Fuck You
Queers · Beyond The Valley [2000]
My life sucks, there's nothing new
Don't care if you love me true
Don't care you got someone new
Don't care you got someone new
What's a punk rocker to do
I just called to say fuck you
I'm just kinda feeling blue
Rememberin' what we used to do
Don't care if you love me true
Don't care you got someone new
Don't care you got someone new
What's a punk rocker to do
I just called to say fuck you
