Ape Dos Mil by Glassjaw

Glassjaw's a band who's name I frequently read or hear about, but I actually haven't heard of. 

I remember asking the person I bought my 1st bass from (a Washburn 5 string bantam series) on what music he listens to and he said Glassjaw. One of the more respectable person in the local forums is named glassjaw as well.  

That changed around  June of this year when I got a new tattoo and the tattoo shop's artist/owner were playing this song. I like what I heard so this song is in here.



Yeah it's over,
You can bet in mid-October,
I will still be ranting 'bout most early May.
Yeah, he's a winner,
He's a goddamn sinner.
While he dines among the wrong side of the day.
And I said, "I don't understand why I'm fumbling after"
You're the reason I cannot forget this season,
Or the letter when you first referred to eight.
And I said,

It's all calypso.
But it's not easy to know.
You walk 'round with your shoulders down frowning,
It's not easy to know.

Yeah, it's over.
You can bet when mid-October end's I'll still be ranting 'bout most early May.
See yeah, he's a winner.
He's a goddamn sinner.
While he dines among the wrong side of the day.
And I said, "I don't understand why I'm fumbling after"
Yeah, you're the reason I cannot forget this season,
Or the lesson how an ape shall not kill ape.
And I said,

It's all calypso.
But it's not easy to know.
You walk 'round with your shoulders down frowning,
It's not easy to know.

It's just a tango.
But it's not easy to show.
I wonder 'round with my horns out now,
But it's not easy to know.

I.. I.. I.. I..
I'm going under,
I'm going under,
I'm going under.

You can't trust a man who's a governor
Ape can't trust man.
You can't trust a man with a gun at all.
Ape can't trust me.

You can't trust me.

It's all calypso.
But it's not easy to know.
You walk 'round with your shoulders down frowning,
It's not easy to know.

It's just a tango.
But it's not easy to show.
I walk 'round with my horns out now,
But it's not easy to show.

How could you heal?
If you don't ease back the blame.
Knowing you're right, won't you heal?
How could you heal?
If you don't ease back the blame.
Knowing you're right, won't you heal?
