 It started as a joke. [Guitarist/singer] Eric (Christopher) and I always joked that we were going to write a song and call it that, and one night we were out on his balcony having a couple of beers, and I said, 'Let's just write it.' So we did, and it turned out to be this catchy little punk song. There's no real meaning to it; it's more of an emotional outburst.

 I don't believe a committee can write a book. It can, oh, govern a country, perhaps, but I don't believe it can write a book.

 I don't believe a committee can write a book. It can, oh, govern a country, perhaps, but I don't believe it can write a book.
