Send "Tight Wad Hill" Ringtone to Cell

Cheapskate on the hill
A thrill seeker making deals
Sugar city urchin wasting time
Town of lunatics
Begging for another fix
Turning tricks for speed balls
One more night
Making your rounds once again
Turning up empty handed
Bumming a ride
Burning daylight
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill
Drugstore hooligan
Another white trash mannequin
On display to rot up on the hill
Living out a lie
But having the time of his life
Hating every minute of his existence

Send "Tight Wad Hill" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:Come on, this was one of the best songs on Insomniac (in my opinion)! It was one of the heavier songs on the album, definitely. And the person above me is right, I looked up all the stuff that Insomniac86 said. Man, that seems cool, just hanging out on top of a hill and watching football games while having fun... Also, jpallotta4 is right. Don't understand why this wasn't released as a single, though. It's an amazing song.

    General Comment:Tight Wad Hill is a hill in Crockett, CA over looking the John Swett High School field.. I live here in Crockett and am a huge Green Day fan. I think it is more concentrated toward Tight Wad Hill in Crockett because Crockett is considered to most of the residents here maybe others as "Sugar City" because Crockett is home to the C&H Sugar Company. "Sugar city urchin wasting time" can be my best example. There are also a lot of dug addicts here which can also be of a coincedence.

    General Comment:i think this is a big precursor to "jesus of suburbia" and the whole story album scenario that would happen in like 7 years or something

    General Comment:[quote]Tight Wad Hill is a hill overlooking John Swett High School in California where all of the druggies would hang out and watch the football games for free.[/quote]

    if i'm not mistaken tight wad hill is actually overlooking Berkeley College, not John Swett High School.
