We recorded this song during a "1 Band, 1 Song, 1 Day" session at IncidentalAudio in NKY. You can hear us talk a little about the writing and recording process in our interview on their YouTube channel: tinyurl.com/4963jpjk
lyrics
After the credits the bad guy's not really dead
They show a shot of your picture clutched in his hand
He's coming for revenge
And so you turn to face your arch nemesis
Screaming out as he shakes his fist:
"You'll pay a price for this!"
Just take a breath and read your next line:
"I'll make you stay dead this time" and
You're still fighting the same villains
Done so many remakes that you're not sure they're worth killing
Hear the rumors go all day long
The writers want to kill you off
But just get back up, spit out those bloody teeth
And don't you dare admit defeat
You know the name of every one of the guys in this band
And you're building a fortress out of jewel cases
Nobody's coming in
You put your faith in people you don't even know
Making friends with the liner notes
You don't have to walk alone
They're gonna send a letter home to your mother
Hazard to yourself and others
You're still wearing last night's wristband
And every shortcoming is branded like a hand-stamp
Left your skin all bruised and raw
But you still can't scrub them off
And I know you feel so ugly underneath
But don't you dare admit defeat
Got a heart full of worms
And it's only getting worse
Squirming through your veins, you've gotta break this curse
They can't get us both, I just won't let them
I think it's time we taught them all a lesson
You'll pay a price for this
(You'll pay a price for this)
You'll pay a price for this
(You'll pay a price for this)
You'll pay a price for this
(You'll pay a price for this)
You'll pay a price for this

ÅSMR puts on some wild shows, and this record manages to capture that energy without pulling any punches. Not one track worth skipping. Alex Kasznel & the Board of Directors
We would not be a band without UnderTipper. Alright, we would, but we'd be way less inspired. Heartfelt, catchy, and funny. What more do you want? Alex Kasznel & the Board of Directors
Yard Sign is a project as unique as it is delightful. Smart, hooky punk jams chock-full of kazoos (and a Taylor Swift cover to boot!) You've never heard anything like it. Alex Kasznel & the Board of Directors
