Every Penny Fed Car Lyrics
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't take you where you want to go
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't take you where you very far at all
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't even barely leave your home
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't take you where you need to go
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't take you where you anywhere at all
And it still won't take you where you want to go
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't take you where you very far at all
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't even barely leave your home
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't take you where you need to go
So you spilled every last penny into your car
And it still won't take you where you anywhere at all

Jeremiah Green is so underrated as a drummer. He really is fantastic on this song and it's so early in their career. Most complete drumming of his is probably on Building Nothing Out of Something and The Fruit That Ate Itself CDs.
I think this song is about going to school and getting an education. The car being the vessel to greater success and a bright future. So when Issac says you spilled every last penny into your car hes saying you spent all this money on your education and when you get out of college you feel like you havent learned anything at all and all that education all that money spent on education isnt taking you very far at all.
No real meaning? I don't think MM is capable of writing a song with no real meaning. This car is an obvious metaphor for the things in life that you toil day in and out for because of a promising reward but that reward never comes. I like to think of this like a relationship that you spend every bit of energy to make it work but in the end the relationship is not worth all the time spent and it takes you no where. Truly a good MM song with lots of meaning.
@ross2p I definitely agree, waaaaaaaayyyyy too commercialized. Not enough real emotion like their previous albums. True music appreciators would understand. There is ok qualities of all mm cds but they steadily get more and more produced, less authentic.
@Theo Reo MAybe because he's saying something that he really wants to be heard, not just in one ear and out the other. And if you want to analyze a new aspect of the song, get some good headphones with good bass and check out Eric's bass line. It totally completes the song in my opinion
One of my favorites on the album since the first time i heard it
God damn I love this song, everything about it, so sad, so true, so.... good.
<3
i love this song too :P
Eh, too repetitive. One of my least favorite on Sad Sappy Sucker.
this is an awesome song. i love the begining and how crazy it is. i like how isaac's voice sounds different on sad sappy sucker.
i never thought of it that way reall having a blast, good thinking
i've always liked this song, there's something about it, the lyrics are simple, yet they still get to me
i can relate to this song.. because my car get's shitty gas mileage
