You guys are the pits of the world.
And I'm asking what is left to do?
Don't play Busy, Imaginary,
Yeah.
Don't play Busy, Imaginary,
Sorry.
And I'm feeling it's been done before.
Referential, hey that's the guy from all those movies.
Referential, hey that's the riff from that old song.
Incomplete and Seethruskin,

Overrated. I think so.
But then again... Who does?
Bye.
Notes:
Jawbreaker performed the cover live in 1990 with seemingly
improvised lyrics. When it was recorded and
released on the Chesterfield King 12", the entire song was
basically rewritten - it retains only the main guitar riff.
The line "But then again... Who does?" spoken
by Blake at the end of the song is probably a reference to
Edward James Olmos's character in the movie Blade Runner.
