Cover art for My Brain Hurts lyrics by Screeching Weasel

I think this is a song about individuality... SO many different opinions out there, so much confusion inside, yet everyone else seems so fucking certain! "I wonder what the hell is wrong with me?"

Also judging the "sheeple".. "these people look like maggots". "She's straight out of a magazine, breathing different air than me"

We've been fed so much shit from the society, our parents, etc. Just because they said it's this way doesn't mean it is. Thus, "I gotta figure it out, cus I don't want something to believe in!"

I don't want to BELIEVE in anything. I want to KNOW.

But the journey from ignorance to knowing is not easy. It's a fucking mindfuck. That's why, my brain hurts!!! There's so much fucking shit to process. But here we are doing it anyway, because the other way, taking shit at face value, sucks.
