i dedicate this song to 'her'. she changed and became a normal all-over-everyguy, highschool girl. and my friends warned me, i should learn to listen and not trust girls like her. well, i hope that she ends up all alone w/ no one to hang onto. oh, and midtown rules!

This is a good song, first to stand out on the Midtown cd to me anyway. It's about one of those plastic girls, who's changed. Favorite lines : I've been working for Something oh so fake But I'm not working for you no more

this song is about drive-thru. period. they hate drive-thru, suggest u read the interview that was mentioned earlier, but richard and stephany responded to that, and i think u should read both sides. after hearing both sides i have come to a conclusion. midtown puts out a cd, they see NFG's popularity, they do not achieve this, they need someone to blame and they choose there label, for not doing this or that. Drive-thru not talking to them since december dusnt really help though. but none of it matters because midtown is on MCA. so now the question is who's gonna be the next pop star first midtown or dashboard? i think dashboard is gonna b bigger than blink-182 but thats just my guess, and i sure hope it dusnt happen.

I have read both sides of the story, and Drive Thru records has every reason to upset at Midtown. Midtown may write some good songs, but they are down right horrible people. Gabe is a waste of life, he is totally worthless. The worst is when they got mad at Finch for wanting to be tacked onto the bill and play as the doors opened. Midtown screwed over a band on the same label.
