Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Talking about the Moron Bros', tattooed fingers, tattooed toes
They're idiots, losers, they're scum
Taking advantage of everyone
You're a dog, they're your fleas
Doing everything they can to spread disease
They'll take your beer, they'll take your drugs
Leave you with microscopic drugs
Their company is something you won't miss
When your ice trays are filled with piss
They are the Moron Brothers
Don't get along with others
They'll whine, they'll bitch, they'll fuck you if you're rich
They'll leach, they'll latch, they are the itch you can't scratch
They'll ink your face, tape your eyelids closed
Tabasco's in your mouth,
There's mustard up your nose
When your head is shaved you'll think the worst has passed
Just try to move your leg
They've put you in a cast
They are the Moron Brothers
Don't get along with others
They may not go down in history
But they'll go down on your sister
They're idiots, losers, they're scum
Taking advantage of everyone
You're a dog, they're your fleas
Doing everything they can to spread disease
They'll take your beer, they'll take your drugs
Leave you with microscopic drugs
Their company is something you won't miss
When your ice trays are filled with piss
They are the Moron Brothers
Don't get along with others
They'll whine, they'll bitch, they'll fuck you if you're rich
They'll leach, they'll latch, they are the itch you can't scratch
They'll ink your face, tape your eyelids closed
Tabasco's in your mouth,
There's mustard up your nose
When your head is shaved you'll think the worst has passed
Just try to move your leg
They've put you in a cast
They are the Moron Brothers
Don't get along with others
They may not go down in history
But they'll go down on your sister

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
When Erik Sandin, the drummer, was still a junkie, he and their roadie/buddy DJ would basically cause as much chaos as possible at parties and piss in ice trays and wrap sleeping people's legs in plaster and tattoo themselves and shit. The rest of the band and their friends called the two The Moron Bros.
i could have sworn it was "Drink your beer, take your drugs, It'll leave you with microscopic lungs.." ah well. i could be wrong, this song is pretty good...
Whenever I hear this song I think it's about the Bush brothers... I know its not but it could be, fuck George W.
WTF?!?!!?!?! why has no one commented on this yet?!?!?!!? FUCKING AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!! Rancid do a tight cover of it too.
EH RANCID WROTE THIS SONG NOFX DID A COVER OF IT ON THERYRE BYO SPLIT SERIES FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heh heh, ethan, if you're the one wrong here, i'manna laugh a lot.
wow, you DUMB. yer obviously not a true fan. NoFX did the song originally, retard. the whole idea of the Byo SPlit was that each band would cover songs by the other band. look it up. its originally by NoFX (and a lot longer in the NoFX version, cuz yer SLOW AND NOT A FAN!!!!)
btw, its Rancid performing it on the Byo Split, not NoFX (i didn't make that too clear in my last post)
yea, the rancid cover is sweet. i'm pretty sure this song is about green day.
dude the song was written for "ribbed", which came out in '90, and that was when green day were 18 year old little teens playing at the high school.
