Send "Pennsylvania" Ringtone to Cell

We are "Cop Rock" we are screech
We are Z. Cavaricci
We are laser removed
Tasmanian devil tattoos

We are third string we are puck
We are special people's club
We are the half shirts with
Irreverent spring break top ten lists

We are munsoned we are squat
We are flashing twelve o'clock
We are spread out butt cheeks
Pulled apart so just the air leaks

We are "Ishtar" we are tab
We are no right turn on red
We are the moustaches
The Beatles grew when they dropped acid

You are the heart dotting "i"
In the word "apologize"
Scribbled drunk on a postcard
Sent from somewhere volcanoes are
I am the heart with no name
Airbrushed on the license plate
Of a Subaru that was
Registered in Pennsylvania

We are Zima we are Barf
We are cinderblock yard art
We are Baldwin Brothers
Not the good one but the others

We are Amway we are Shemp
We are Sir David of Brent
We are the queef after
A porn star breaks the gang bang record

You are the heart dotting "i"
In the word "apologize"
Scribbled drunk on a postcard
Sent from somewhere volcanoes are
I am the heart with no name
Airbrushed on the license plate
Of a Subaru that was
Registered in Pennsylvania

Do you even know what a wawa is, girl?
Do you even know what a wawa is?
Do you even know what a wawa is, girl?
Do you even know what a wawa is?

I'm in a state of P fuckin' A

    Song Meaning:This songs is clearly a tribute to Pennsylvania as many have already mentioned. Anyone who disagrees should try living here for a year or so.

    Most relevant lines:

    we are laser removed,
    tasmanian devil tattoos

    we are the mustaches the beatles,
    grew when they dropped acid

    . . . ^^^ I've known so many people that fit into these categories

    Do you even know what a wawa is?

    General Comment:i really like the lyrics in the chorus of this song. i think the narrator is comparing himself to his ex-girlfriend in a beautifully metaphorical way. he's saying that she is the hear dotting "i" in the word "apologize," while contrastingly he is the "heart with no name airbrushed on the license plate of a subaru that was registered in pennsylvania." the girl seems quiet and honest, someone who went somewhere like hawaii (sent from somewhere volcanoes are) and got drunk and sent her old boyfriend a postcard saying apologize because she wants him to see he has done wrong, but also still loves him. the narrator is so different from his old girlfriend, because he is a rebel who airbrushed a heart onto the license plate of a car. but maybe the fact that they're so different is why they worked as a couple in the first place.
    i know i probably read into it but i like telling myself there's an actual meaning to this song.

    General Comment:I spent 7 years in the poconos the stroudsburg area and we wished the those from New york and Jeresy would just stay home on the weekend and if you really want to know what a WA-WA is just google, but I have to find anything compaired to it out here in NM and yea I have found my self saying I moved from PA in stead of stating the whoe states name. Now it just reminds me of my time spent there, maybe one day I will go back. and every one still has a friend in PA

    General Comment:dudewtfomg-- The whole heart airbrushed on a license plate part you missed. You're waaay too analytical. In malls where you can get stuff airbrushed they usually have the background done already. If you want a license plate with red hearts you pick the one with red hearts then they airbrush what you want on the license plate.

    General Comment:phobos258 Harrisburg is not in Bucks county, it's in Dauphin county (and technically Cumberland county depending if you're on the east or west shore)... Douche.

    General Comment:I believe it is "we are Munsoned" not "munsin"...munsoned is a reference from a hilarious movie called "king pin" in which one dude with bad luck's name is Munson and when he revisits his hometown many years later he finds everyone refers to them having bad luck as being "munsoned" also it IS "you are the heart dotting I"...he mentions the word Apologize and i believe hes referencing to a girl sending him a break up note and in the word apologize the I was dotted with a heart and i believe when he says "i am the heart with no name airbrushed on a license plate" he means that before they broke up she was getting his name with a heart on a license plate and never got his name put in,only the heart....also its not "punk" its "pop" and its not "hairplant" its "amway"
