If Assholes Got Awards, I'd Have A Trophy Case (but with some different words) (Infamous Jake Cover - 2006))

This song was originally by Infamous Jake and the Pinstripe Mafia, a band from Massachusettes that featured a young Dan Lang-Gunn on the lead vocals. Dan was the head honcho at Kill Normal Records, my old band's label and became a very very close friend. A lot of people were grief stricken when Dan had an aneurysm onstage while performing with his newer band, The Modern Day Saint and Flood put together a compilation to help his parents out with medical bills. I'm not sure exactly where Sum 41's "Fat Lip" fits into all this, but it is worth noting that at some point in the mixing process all the files kind of ate themselves somehow and all we have is this version that we can't do anything with.

When i'm looking back, and see the better men we've become
turn look smile, now face front breath and run
Have you seen feet have you noticed we're wearing the shoes of the people we wanted to be
drive, scream, live, dream, try and see what i mean

I don't think you know it
I don't think you've noticed

When i'm looking back, and i see the way, see the way we
waste laze, waste days, grin lay back and sigh
The clocks running down on the time we had to do what we wanted to do with our lives
sweat blood friend, our best years are almost done

I don't think you know it
I don't think you've noticed

she said, this doesn't mean much to me
i said, this means the world to me
he said, the world's what i want to see

we'll all break free

she said, i can't take much more of this
i said, i'm thinking it's how i'll live
he said, we're almost done with the list

we'll all break free now

well three years, it won't be nearly enough
to do everything we could have done, everything we should have done
we've wasted precious minutes forgetting this is fun
this is fun, this is fuck you

seen the way, seen the way, seen the way i look at this
you've seen the way i look at this
