Liner notes

There once was an album that changed everything. It defied even the wildest of expectations. It struck listeners over the head with its forbidden jewel case, and ravaged ear canals like golden covered carnival tongue. This is not that album, but we like it anyway (we did make it).

About the artist

The “baddest” band ever started out with the “goodest” of intentions. We felt we could please the ear with a thoughtful string of notes. Who could have anticipated the frenzy that would incur when we unbuttoned the top buttons of our shirts and “rock-crooned” their asses. We failed to see that our “subsuburban” indie rock would strike right to the core of human existence, to the point where people were stumbling around after shows mumbling “black uniforms and thanks”. Though we stand humbly atop the proverbial mountain, we keep looking for new heights, better combinations of notes and rhythms, and pretty women.

Lyrics

Why won't you grow your hair long? (Byrd)

Why won't you grow your hair long
It seems unfair that I always have to cut my hair
You wanna be so headstrong
But if you care then you really ought a take my dare
Why won't you grow your hair long, it's your theme song

(All these years) I've dated short haired girls
(Hair’s worst fear) Tied up in braided swirls
(See my dear) I want some chocolate twirls
(Come on girl) Why won’t you let your hair grow

You like it cut to accentuate your ghetto butt
You sneak off to your beauty pro
So you can strut proudly entering the yoga hut
Why won't you let your hair grow, start tomorrow

Why won't you grow your hair out?
End my hair drought

Why won't you grow your hair out?
You don't believe that your short hair causes me to grieve
You pin in like a girl scout
Just let it breathe and I promise I will never leave
