Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture chris Rhythm Player	#1 by chris benoit at Mar 29, 1980 at 8:26 PM EST
	wow, i cant believe that nobody has commented on this song yet. to me, this is the best song on the renaissance ep. i love the keyboards in the beginning and end too.

No Picture James Average	#2 by James Burrington at May 2, 2005 at 9:23 PM EST
	this is one of my favorites off teenage politics..i find its one of the most well written on that record, lyrics-wise and music-wise, mikes bass work is impressive. the song itself IMO is kind of like a growing up/ coming of age song (like most songs on that album). i hear it being about just not wanting to grow up and learn about the world and how fake it has the potential to be...thats my opinion
