for those who don't know Rancid have signed to Warner, quite a while ago but it's been eating me up for a while now. I mean, they used to always say they would never sell out, claimed they were the epitome of punk rock and suddenly they draft in Good Charlotte, Kelly Osbourne and 12 year old girls into their new video, for a song not up to their old high standard, and sign to Warner for loadsa money. I guess you could call Tim and Lars hypocrites, not Brett or Matt though, hell everyone knows they're not allowed to speak, especially that after signing to Warner they refuse to let Warner put their name on the album. I mean Lars claims they signed to Warner to keep Rancid alive, but if there was nothing wrong with doing it why won't they put Warner on the album? And as for them supposedly signing to Warner to stay alive, I just didn't get it, when do you need to be on a major label to sell records? Offspring, Smash, over 5 and a half million copies sold and still counting, anyone remember? What a load of bullshit, they just want they money, hell do they even remember to the stuff they used to sing about?
Come on baby wont you show me what you got I want your salvation
theres a neighborhood called blackhawk where all the rich people hide I was down on my luck working for the salvation army The shelter is where i reside Everyday we drive into blackhawk and we pick up the offerings Microwave, refrigerator for the suffering
Come on baby wont you show me what you got I want your salvation
I cant believe these people live like kings Hidden estates and diamond rings Im a rat out on a mission Im in your front yard under suspicion
Come on baby wont you show me what you got I want your salvation

Oh well. That's the way shit goes.
I loved them for about a year; eighth grade was good times.
But at present I couldn't give two shits.

There's no such thing as a real punk rocker, there never has been and there never will be.

Rancid once said, "We'll never sell out". Well I guessed they lied, those money-grbabing bastards. Their new video also sucks, what a shit song.
however the new Bouncing Souls video is pretty good
