lyrics

We should have never thought that we could get stoned and drive around with just a half a pack of smokes / A bottle of clear eyes, an appetite, we were pillaging the Turkey Hill on Main Ave in West Side / Wouldn’t you guess the only thing we had to fear would be flashing their lights in our rear view mirror / This time they got us it's all over now, you were praying Hail Mary's for an escape route. / But thank God for your father's last name and all the connections that he’s made / To everyone you’re such a sweet church girl, but I know your secret. / Bad Catholics weren’t we darling? Always dipping out before communion started. / Another summer and another church picnic, I watch a mother run around in a panic / Chasing her kid with his orange soda mustache, while his fathers by the gambling wheel / There I saw you in the beer tent hanging with your new husband and your baby on the way / Oh it's kinda strange how it made me miss something, long lost in the both of us now. / You thanked God that I found my way and introduced me to oh what's his name / To everyone you’re such a sweet church girl, but I know your secret.

Fun, abrasive, loud punk rock. Not all PUP does it for me but this album hits Brandon Phipps

A pop-punk album full of both angst and maturity. A lot of this album is about growing up, but I've been consistently coming back to this album for over 5 years and it never gets old. evan_burman

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
