Ben WeaselAbout
This is a song making fun of the punk rock ethos “DIY” (do it yourself). Ben Weasel is well-known to right wing and believe in capitalism. Therefore, not much a fan of the idea of shaming people for wanting money for their work.
D.I.Y. Lyrics
D.I.Y. Why?
Because we hate you and the dumb look on your face
D.I.Y. Why?
Because your band's another weak charity case
"Our shows should be five bucks or less
We'll do it for the kids
Two legs good, MTV bad, and major labels suck"
No fucking shit
D.I.Y. is simply your only excuse for why you always fail
Initials on the flag you wave
When your shitty records won't sell anywhere
Politics and social comment, twenty dollar words
Won't make your lousy music go down easier
You can't polish a turd
D.I.Y. means do it yourself because it's what you want
It doesn't clean the slate when everything gets all fucked up
What would you do, you phony fuck-head, if you hit it big?
Stop acting better than me, we both know you're full of shit
