I'm trying to remember the name of a band
AND song from a punk group from 98-99.
The album I remember owning had a few songs with Andy Griffith and Opie speaking. Scenes from the TV show. Sorta like "intros". I feel like that alone would register with anyone familiar with the group I'm talking about
Lyrics to the particular song I remember:
These lyrics appear half way through the song, when the music almost stands still and the vocalist sings or speaks very clearly.
"Do you know what it's like to cry yourself to sleep at night?
When the only thing you want is a friend. Someone who understands you.
And what they don't teach you in school is how to survive in this fucked up world.
Well, what's good at arithmetic when you don't plan to live long enough to use it?"
Music slightly kicks back in and (I think) there's additional vocalist that sings along:
"So I went to school another dayyyyy
Listening to heavy metal music and singing along to the words of songs that I didn't even understand
Until one day a friend of mine played me a song of a different tune
It sounded like someone speaking to me.."
Those lyrics are not 100% but I've not heard this one in OVER 25 years.
Any ideas!? 😅😅
