SUM 41

Remember when you liked Sum 41? Remember when you couldn’t stop singing their songs about abortions and el caminos?. This post talks about them

It’s called “Scumfuck” and it’s from their forthcoming album called Screaming Bloody Murder which will be in stores on August 31st.  Right now, they’re headlining the Warped Tour where they’re probably playing songs that are a bit better than this one but i’ll let you make that decision.

Where many bands attempt to pursue the holier-than-thou 'artist' angle, where suffering and being misunderstood is a way of life, Sum 41 are taking the blink 182 route: they've been given the keys to the candy store, and they might as well sample everything, before someone changes the locks. 


 

I tried to be perfect,
But nothing was worth it,
I don’t believe it makes me real.
I thought it’d be easy,
But no one believes me,
I meant all the things I said.

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

This place is so empty,
My thoughts are so tempting,
I don’t know how it got so bad.
Sometimes it’s so crazy,
that nothing can save me,
But it’s the only thing that I have.

If you believe it's in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I'm better off on my own.

On my own...

I tried to be perfect,
It just wasn't worth it,
Nothing could ever be so wrong.
It’s hard to believe me,
It never gets easy,
I guess I knew that all along.

If you believe it’s in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.
