lyrics

So I wrote a song
To cure my need for loving company,
and my guitar it seems to be the closest thing
So I wrote a song
It doesn't matter who it's to,
just smile and pretend I entertain you, and
So I wrote a song
to clear my mind of what's distracting me
I lose my voice if I scream or shout, and
So I wrote a song
It doesn’t matter who it's for

It makes me feel good to vent frustration
All I needed was just a little motivation
Here's a good one for your compilation
Truth is we all need a little ventilation

Grandpa Gank is gambling on his geeks again
He knows he'll never win
His wife fell in with holy order concubines
She still smells the same
He used to play the trombone in a band called "Grin"
He drunk down all his fate
Till Circus Johnny played him with the Mickey Finn
The nonesense lives on

So I wrote a song
To clear my mind of what's been ailin' me
I know it's selfish, but what the hell if I wrote the thing, and
So I wrote a song
For you to laugh and point at me but the joke's on you,
my friend ‘cause you're my motivation
So I wrote a song
‘Cause I lack the funds for therapy
I'm crazy and I know it, but these days, who the fuck isn't?

So I wrote a song
It doesn’t matter who it's for
It makes me feel good to vent frustration
All I needed was just a little motivation
Here's a good one for your compilation
Truth is we all need a little ventilation

Quasar Wut-Wut Chicago, Illinois

Considered the finest rock band ever to have formed in Belleville, Michigan, Quasar Wut-Wut has been "delivering" since 1990. After getting blacklisted from the Detroit club scene we relocated to Chicago in 1999 and have since refused to leave. With five full-lengths, 2 soundtracks, and a new LP, QWW just can't take the hint that no one wants them. We don't mind, we like us just the way we are. ... more
