This song is great. I first heard it on a fat wreck chords compilation.. I think it was "Life in the Fat Lane" and I've liked it ever since.

I'm most likley way off, but just listen... A teenage boy has gotten a girl pregnant and the parents have kicked them out and shunned them (you and her loathing this cruel world) and now they have no where to live... It's just another Saturday beceause I guess this happens alot in todays society.

Totally awesome song. To me it sorta sounds like either moving away from your parents, or getting kicked out. The entire song talks about the struggles with your parents. "No more waiting on them(Parents)...as you rise inside new rooms(New home)" Well, thats what it sounds like to me. The last part helps...."I am extradited, uninvited" Its a totally awesome song and i'm probably just over-analyzing.

good question adrenalinegrl. i like the name though, May 16 is the birthday actually. This was my first lagwagon song, obviously the title caught my eye. BUT, What does this song mean ? I think it's about breaking out and becoming your own person. i guess this is to someone who's lived off of someone else or in his shadow. what does everyone else think?
