History

This track is first mentioned in the Happiest Nuclear Winter recording log on November 2nd, 2004, implying it was a late addition to the album. The track is often referred to as “Everyone’s a Jerk But Me” and the titles are used interchangeably, but the albums CD and full finalized track list shortens the title.

Lyrics

It’s good you have a pretty face, cause lipstick makes my stomach ache
We can float to outer space, before a bomb destroys this place
Well how could you ever be sure, that you won’t start a war
What could they be fighting for, perhaps who needs you more?
It’s not hard to see, everyone’s a jerk but me
It takes a lot of faith, to do what you do each day
Wait and find a place they say, and take whatever comes our way
I think she deserves to know, the whole worlds gonna blow
I think she deserves to know, everything must explode
It’s not hard to see, that everyone’s a jerk but me
They are
