"Surprised?" Shitty American Beer

Shitty American Beer is a project that is kind of like flypaper: picking up pieces of thrown away efforts throughout the years, where they stick around and eventually become part of the tapestry on the walls. SAB is a joke nomenclature, because people will bitch about the taste of shitty beer, but when it comes down to it they will still be drinking it at some point of the night. Most of the songs when brought over to this project take on a more punk/3-chords and an attitude type of vibe. Simple, fast, loud and fun. "Surprised?" gets is title, because it's an out of the ordinary, optimistic view of the work-first system we've been brought into. I like this attitude, and that is surprising.

Slave, twelve hour days, six days a week
to feed the family you never see,
except while they sleep
quiet in their beds.
Unknowing, sneak a kiss on their foreheads,
and sit at their bedsides for awhile.

Sneak these moments in...
Keep these moments with...

Know that everything you give means the world,
and that of everything you give,
the most amazing is a chance.
