about

This is my favorite song on this EP. I came up with the song title about 2 years ago and could never write the right material for it. One Saturday morning I came up with the intro riff and everything quickly started coming together. After I wrote the song, I needed some lyrics. I dug up some old song titles and found this one and that's how this song came to be. I love all the chord structures on this song. It's so fast and crazy and was just so fun to write and record. The lyrics actually go deeper than the song title sounds. It's about an overweight teenager, yes, but it's also about how the world and things in it makes him that way and it really makes him a better person for it. It's really deep for a Zits song, but this is what this EP is all about. Everything is completely different.

lyrics

I come home and scratch the back of my head
What the hell am I gonna do?
I feel dead
This place's a fucking nightmare
I sit on my couch and stare and stare and stare
It's been 4 months since I've changed my underwear

I'm not a loser
Hey, what's for lunch?
Teenage fatass
I'm 300 pounds and I don't give a fuck
Teenage fatass
I canceled my cable, and now I'm feeling fried
Teenage fatass
I gobbled down about 20 pizza pies
Teenage fatass

All I got in my life is my girl
Jelly-filled donuts make me hurl
I need new clothes, my fat is bulging out
Skinny guys don't know what it's all about
I shove burgers in my face when I'm feeling down

I got no friends cause I ain't got no phone
I listen to my records when I'm all alone
I bought a 30 pack of soda pop
And kick back, watch an episode of "Lost"
Am I mentally stable?
My electric is shut off

I'm not a loser
Hey, what's for lunch?
Teenage fatass
I'm 300 pounds and I don't give a fuck
Teenage fatass
I canceled my cable, and now I'm fucking fried
Teenage fatass
I gobbled down about 20 pizza pies
Teenage fatass

I'LL FUCK YOU UP!
