Fanfare - Lyrics - Fastbacks

The Fastbacks were a Seattle punk rock band. Formed in 1979 by songwriter guitarist Kurt Bloch , and friends Lulu Gargiulo and Kim Warnick , they disbanded in 2001. Their sound mixed a generally punk rock approach to vocals and sound textures with poppy tunes and strong musicianship.

I gave up yesterday Believing I can make a difference here Sleeping twelve hours a day No one cares anyway Come whatever may Ask me what I think and I would say "I gave up half a chance To change the way the world turns today." Waiting 'round for the call Nobody phoned at all The final curtains fall And I'll be writing on your wall like this Chop down the money tree A thorny bush will grow before you know Money is what I've not Mean more than what I've got Steal it and you're caught My dad might say he always says a lot That don't sit well with me The plates are cleared the dinner time coffee The answers are plain to see I always disagree What do you mean we? It might seem right to you but not to me
