Jeff Wears Birkenstocks? Lyrics
Don't wanna hear no hippy shit
Don't tell me I'm closing my mind
Don't wanna groove, don't wanna dig
Don't wanna spend the day naked
Don't like my music country fried
He's got a tie dyed Rancid shirt
He wears his birkenstocks to work
Is he a jerk? No! Just confused
Jeff don't wear regular shoes
Fat Mike I gotta let you know
It's not the tunes, it's their live show
And all the people you get to meet
Plenty of good vibes and decent drugs
Stinky people give you hugs
Walk around in your bare feet
He's got a tie dyed Rancid shirt
He wears his birkenstocks to work
Is he a jerk? No! Just confused
Jeff don't wear regular shoes
about Jeff Abarta, a long-time Epitaph Records employee and guitarist/singer in Punk is Dead
I always heard the 2nd line (as written here, should be 3rd, anyway) as:
Don't want to hear no hippy shit
Always made sense to me that way... Was I wrong?
P.S. - JJRad: it's possible to love both the Grateful Dead and the Dead Kennedys and not be a poser =P
holy shit nobody commented on this...this is my fave song of Punk in Drublic...their best album by the way..."Fat Mike i gotta let u kno its not tha tunes its their live show"....
this song is about a hippie that works at epitaph named jeff.
ahahha first song i ever heard, back when i still had both my eyes! its hella funny love it and the album!!!
yea in one of the interviews on their site he says its about some hippie at his work that like punk, but also likes Grateful Dead and wears tie dye shirts. He wants there to be more punk shirts in tie dye, which is why hes confused hah.
this song is hilarious my fav line would definatly hav to be\"jeff don\'t wear regular shoes\" i dunno i just think its funny............
one of the best songs EVER!
hahaha!
Great track. Reminds me of half of Seattle's 30 somthings
interesting. I always thought the line was "tie-dyed, rancid shirt", which of course it is, but in the lower-case meaning that the shirt smelled bad. Knowing that it actually was a tie-dyed Rancid (the band) shirt makes the whole thing that much funnier. Thanks for the info, mtbaird.
