He read every issue of Punk Planet with a tissue

Bad reviews of his favorite band made him cry

Could hardly believe that Jawbreaker signed to DGC

He took it personally that Blake had lied

When all the he loved was through

What's an emo boy to do

With a broken heart and some minor chords

Inspiration lame on the floor

He was just barely sixteen when he started his fanzine

He could lay his broken heart out on the page

And it got real inspiring when people started writing

He was not alone he was not alone

When all his work was done he put on side one

The boxcar sang him to sleep

Locked away in an emo dream

One foggy night at the bottom of the hill

Front and center for Jets to Brazil

Emo boy met emo girl

Barrettes in her hair and Buddy Holly glasses

And laminated passes

They left the club and went back to his house

And fooled around to the new record from Modest Mouse
