Army of Me

VeckoRevynIt’s a song for the movie "Tank Girl", but it is actually about my brother. He is pretty lazy and likes things like food, sex, sleep - very basic needs. It’s just that he does it more than others.

Then he started smoking, well, not cigarettes. It felt as if he was in a coma. He just sat on his butt complaining, "the worlds stinks, I can’t get a job, there are no good albums to buy and even if I wanted to buy them, I don’t have any money to buy them with. Blah blah blah."

Self-pity from morning to night, which really pisses me off. You can stand a whining brother to a limit, but for ten years, from he was 14 to that he turned 24. I simply had enough. That’s it. Stand on your own legs, get a job, get a life. And if you complain once more, you’ll met an "Army Of Me".

I am not going to save you anymore, your rescue squad is too exhausted. That’s what the song is about.
