"The Radio Still Sucks"

I'm really fucking sick
Of Beck and 311,
And Marylin Manson,
I wish someone would break his fucking neck.

And what about Bush
And lame-ass Oasis?
Hey, talk about pretentious,
why don't they just blow England off the map?

Every now and then
I turn it on again
But it's plain to see that
The radio still sucks.

Every now and then
I turn it on again
But it's plain to see that
The radio still sucks.

    General Comment:I love this short song, even though all the bands mentioned in it (with the exception of Marylin Manson) are pretty good.

    General Comment:I didn't think it was possible, but I noticed that mainstream radio has significantly deteriorated further over the last year or so.

    General Comment:Fuck the ataris. Fucking queer band gets famous from a crappy cover of an already mediocre song. This band can go to hell. Don't insult bands that have twice the talent you'll ever have, especially when they let you open a few shows. Jackasses

    General Comment:well pulseox, i know how you feel about the ataris, but its not actually how it goes.

    Kris (songwriter) actually meant that the radio sucks. He's sick of hearing the same thing over and over again and 311 were on the radio back then alot. the lyrics weren't saying like "damn i hate 311 because they are famous blah blah" it was saying how back then their songs were being overplayyed on the radio. Well Kris wrote that song a while back, so he never really knew 311. Kris once told us that he was sorry for using those lyrics because he met 311 back at warped tour in 2001 and said they were really nice guys and awesome and stuff.
