How ironic that action and action is their single. the lyric:
"You really think that you're bigger than this, to the tune of
10000 lisps. Who would have thought we'd represent when I can't take a
compliment? Overexposure is the key and anyfocus on me is appreciated and
it should be."
The Get Up Kids have not sold out, they never bought in in the first
place. There's nothing wrong with wanting to see yourself on TV,
especially when you still play tiny venues in SE portland.
