Sell Out
by Reel Big Fish

Well I know you can't work in fast food all your life
But don't sign that paper tonight
She said but it's too late

I don't remember what I read
Don't remember what they said
Guess it doesn't matter
Guess it doesn't matter anymore

You're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give'em all your money
Radio plays what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool but I just don't believe it

Sell out, with me oh yea, sell out, with me tonight
Record company's gonna give me lots of money and
Everything's gonna be all right

No more flippin' burgers puttin' on my silly hat you know
I don't want that no more
And I didn't ask when we'd get paid
I quit my day job anyway
Guess it doesn't matter, guess it doesn't matter anymore

'Cause you're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give'em all your money
Radio plays what they want you to hear
Tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it

Sell out, with me oh yea
Sell out with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be

And I don't think it'll be so bad
And I know it won't be so bad
Cause the man said "that's the way it is"
And the man said "it don't get better than this" no no no

So I signed on to the record company
They say they're gonna give me lot's of money
If I play what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool, and I sure believe it

Sell out, with me oh yea
Sell out with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be all right

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
The record company's gonna make everything all right

Baby don't you sign that paper tonight she said
But I can't work in fast food all my life

Maybe it's because these tracks were over played, maybe it was all those 'reel big fish sucks' t-shirts in the 90's, or maybe it's the fact that Reel Big Fish hasn't had a solid album after this collection of mega hits, but most people are not really excited about the new Reel Big Fish CD. That being said one cannot argue that this album, 'Turn the Radio OFF' is to Ska/Punk Third wave, what the Beatles 'Revolver' what to the Psychedelic movement.

That being said one cannot argue that this album, 'Turn the Radio OFF' is to Ska/Punk Third wave, what the Beatles 'Revolver' what to the Psychedelic movement. The tragedy is also the triumph for this band, because they lived up to their lyric, 'every song is a hit, and the girls like them, too', got over played on the Radio (you were supposed to turn the radio off, remember?), and eventually lost all their (if any) punk rock street cred. Other than that, pop in this one CD, and relax, there's no reason to skip any tracks, 'every song is a hit, and the girls like them, too'
