Skate Park Lyrics
The skate park is only fifteen Minutemen songs away.
And there's nothing I would rather do on this terrible fucking day,
Than break my bones and feel the pain of self-improvement.
It's not your job to make everybody happy.
You don't have to answer to anyone or anybody.
Just stick to your guns and don't quit until you feel like changing them.
It's a sin and a shame to keep yourself from knowing
The things that make you beautiful and complete.
When we lie to ourselves we can feel our insides rotting
When the world should be bowing at our feet.
Stick to your guns and don't quit until you fell like changing them.
And there's nothing I would rather do on this terrible fucking day,
Than break my bones and feel the pain of self-improvement.
You don't have to answer to anyone or anybody.
Just stick to your guns and don't quit until you feel like changing them.
The things that make you beautiful and complete.
When we lie to ourselves we can feel our insides rotting
When the world should be bowing at our feet.
Stick to your guns and don't quit until you fell like changing them.

This is a real great song, because as always, AJJ uses the most unanticipated of language to pump out an amazing story One of my favorite lines (of many) is "feel the pain of self improvement" because it illustrates how, essentially, hard work pays off, despite the pain one must go through. My favorite verse is the last one though:
"It's a sin and a shame to keep yourself from knowing The things that make you beautiful and complete. When we lie to ourselves we can feel our insides rotting When the world should be bowing at our feet. Stick to your guns and don't quit until you fell like changing them."
As someone who's gone through bullying and general self hatred, I love how amazing this sounds. How you really, really can feel your insides rotting, the loudness and sloppyness of this song masks one of the best messages I've heard. Classic AJJ and I adore it
