I'm just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope
I've panhandled for a life because
I'm not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regret
You better swallow your pride
Or you're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
Because they turn to shit
Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
I know I'm not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or a bullet in my face
To hell with unity
Separation's gonna kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall

    General Comment:"Well sects of disconnection
    And traditions of lost faith
    No culture's worth a stream of piss
    Or a bullet in my face

    Hmm, maybe this song is about religous/nationalistic pride and how dangerous it is. The line "to hell with unity" could have a second meaning ie if we unite we go to hell, the rest seems to fall into place. No culture's worth a bullet in my face.

    General Comment:this is an awsome song, no the whole album was really good. i think they felt that they were failures after the sucsess of Dookie and the fact that this album didnt sell as well?

    General Comment:Awesome song. Easy to play too (but all of Insomniac is... it's a fun album to listen to because if you know anything about guitar you can pick up the songs in a few listens).
