The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I don't like a fuckin' thing! music sucks dick
Suck the snot end off the tip of my prick
You fucking cunts, get up off of my back
I don't wanna do a show with your shitty
Fuckin' band, you suck, they suck, guess what, get fucked
I can't think of any other words to say but fuck
Don't drag our opinions, our opinions are great
It's new school face motherfucker I hate
Local bands (suck these nuts)
U.s. bands (suck these nuts)
Worldwide bands (suck these nuts)
All you bands can suck these fuckin' nuts!
Go!
Don't berate me, cause you can't stop me
From breakin' your face, it's you I'll erase
It's hate, motherfucker, hate, motherfucker, hate

U.s. bands (suck these nuts)
Worldwide bands (suck these nuts)
All you bands can suck these fuckin' nuts!

Life's so shitty, but ain't it fuckin' great?
Life's so shitty, but ain't it fuckin' great?
Life's so shitty, but ain't it fuckin' great?
Life's so shitty, but ain't it fuckin' great?
[repeat: x26]

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song is obviously about all the crap sell out bands. the band also has fun when they play it live.
