about

This was recording during our live performance on 5-30-2014 at the Court House in Pittsburgh, PA.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Everyone Reading This,

There is some dialogue spoken by someone during "Triangle Choke" that specifically targets Devon. While I still think Devon is a douche-bag, I also consider him a pretty dear friend (even though that jag-off moved to Thailand to become a scuba-diving instructor), and the views expressed by this person do not reflect how I personally feel about him. With this disclaimer noted, I will admit most of the dialogue is fairly entertaining.

There are also a few other interesting pieces of dialogue that happen throughout this recording that are, in my opinion, quite interesting and entertaining. Keep yr ears peeled.

Love,
Robby.

lyrics

"TRIANGLE CHOKE"
Devon and I were in a rock n roll band
It wasn't quite punk-rock
It suited him just fine
Anyway, Devon quit the band
to pursue an education
in electrical engineering
Well, I guess it was too hard
because he ended with a
business degree

Oh, Devon is a douche-bag.

Then he played in a hardcore band
They were pretty tough
Yeah, they used to go on tour
They'd leave Devon at home
to tend to his money-counting job

Oh, Devon is a douche-bag.

Now he teaches English
in Seoul, South Korea
Jesus Christ!
Holy fuck!
Can you actually believe
they let him in?
Jesus Christ!
Holy fuck!

Oh, Devon is a douche-bag


"FISH STICKS"
Another night on tour
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
We're so goddamn hungry
Justin and Elizabeth said,
"Hey look!
There's a Long John Silver's!"

No soy
What the fuck is tempeh?
A probiotic menu
And microbes on the floor

And she said,
"No, we don't have hummus
Yeah, but we've got fish sticks
You can scrape the breading off
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's vegan"
So I took one for the team.

We pulled up to that drive-thru window
Through the intercom
I heard an angel's' voice
Through the reflection
of the starlight in her braces
was that the batter
or did my heart skip a beat?

And she said,
"No soy
What the fuck is tempeh?"
A probiotic menu
And microbes on the floor
And she said,
"No, we don't have hummus
Yeah, but we've got fish sticks
You can scrape the breading off
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's vegan"
So I took one for the team.

And she said,
"No soy
What the fuck is tempeh?"
And I never thought
I'd fall in love in
Western Pennsylvania
