Greg Graffin, the mastermind behind songwriting, revealed that the catchy tune of this particular song had been lingering in his mind for quite some time. He couldn’t help but hum it to himself, and surprisingly, the only lyrics that seemed to fit perfectly were “fuck you.” It turned out to be the exact sentiment he wanted to convey.
But don’t be mistaken, this song isn’t fueled by anger. In fact, it’s more about the Pavlovian response we all have. You know, that knee-jerk reaction when you blurt something out without thinking, only to find yourself in even more trouble than before. It’s a spontaneous action that rarely ends well. By exploring this aspect of human nature, the song stays true to the essence of Bad Religion.

I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
