	Ohio has alot more than you think A touchOverrated. Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinatti to name of the few diverse large cities.

	You people keep referring to how "flat" ohio is, and its not that flat. I live in Cincinnati and there are tons of hills. There are also many small counties around cincinnati I know of that are hilly. So stop calling Ohio flat. The End. (p.s. if you want a flat state, go to Texas)

	Ohio is drab. And in my opinion, Columbus is not really a part of Ohio. I heart Columbus. I the-opposite-of-heart Ohio.

	I think this song isnt just about how flat and boring Ohio, it's about someone having regrets and feeling lonely and blaming it on the "long drive home" the person is driving through a boring country road at night when it's dormant and theyre thinking about the past thats what i think it is "you're on, you're wrong, ohio" - either hes blaming ohio for his troubles or he just got through a fight with someone and i think "you can't look in one one way eyes" and "pull the scabs off of regret we havent learned to beat our conscience yet" justifies the latter of the two. but there are also references where ohio and his troubles are causing turmoil. ohio is just the scape goat for his troubles, if that makes sense...when im having troubles i seem to blame the stupidest things, and thats what i think of when i listen to this song. one of the best albums ever in history.

No Picture Josh Average	#7 by Josh Smith at Apr 4, 2005 at 3:32 AM EST
	One of my favorite songs off their debut album. I love early MM because their lyrics were (mostly) about being stuck in shitty-ass, dead-end towns that offered nothing to him, so he is expressing either his distaste or outright hatred for everything. Plus, I love the angular, jaggy guitar playing and the fact that some songs are typical 3-minute verse-choruse-verse-chorus songs that then have like 5 minute instrumentals in them too. This song and Lounge and Custom Concern would be good examples of this I guess. MM is awesome!
