Against Me! - Pints of Guinness Make You Strong - Acoustic

http://doctorrogers.wordpress.com/

Pints of Guiness Make You Strong, by Against Me!, but the acoustic version from their Acoustic EP. I think i like this better than the newer one from reinventing axyl rose. I can't believe all the arguing in the comments. I mean Jesus, what's with all the hate?

Lyrics:
Evelyn sits by the elevator doors
it's been 37 years since james dies on st. patrick's day in 1964
but she could not hold it against him
there were times when there was nothing she could do but lie in bed all day beside a picture of them together
a picture of better days

and just like james, i'll be drinking irish tonight
and the memory of his last work week wil be gone forever
evelyn i'm not coming home tonight
if we're never together
if I'm never back again
well I swear to god that I'll love you forever
evelyn i'm not coming home tonight
in all the years that went by she said she'd always love him
and from the day that he died she never loved again

in his wallet she kept in her nightstand an a.a. card and a lock of red hair
she kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart
it killed a part of her before the rest was gone.

she said, "if I would have known just how things would have ended up I just would have let myself die."

Who gives a F%&$ about what their signed to, the lyrics still speak with faults and accomplishments of tom gabel, They might of changed how they play the music or who their signed to but the lyrics havent changed one bit and thats what Against Me! is all about. they never really played good music but their lyrics were off the the charts in meaning.

@YOUAlREADYkNOW1212 Really? This song is off the charts in both music and lyrics

[clienhart]

only scene kids and posers  even use the term "sellout" in any sort of serious sense.

[TheAwesomeBomb]

@clienhart and hipsters who are sad that they aren't the only fans anymore.

[foundonfloor]

@theawesomebomb Do you understand how life works? Do you expect people to be piss poor and starving so they can create better music for you? F*cking shenanigans dude. If Wendys offered you a better deal than McDonalds...you would accept. Money is king in this world. And music is a gift. Stop being an asshole, and shave off your faux-hawk. Loser

@1014Timothybrooks lol, butthurt bitch.

I don't mind their new shit, but I miss this gritty, acoustic sound. Their new music just can't compare to this. RIP old Against Me.

About the lead singer, Tom Gabel's grandparents.

[saligari666]

who is the song about?

[johnniedbomb]

I know this is a tribute to Axl (Hall of Famer). But it's not right to shove the name Evelyn down his throat. Someday when a special lady breaks your heart, you'll regret writing this song. Personally though, I like the song.

@YOUAlREADYkNOW1212 i give a fuck

@clienhart Some people are sell outs. They use their talents to push acne medicine and car insurance. I'm not saying Against Me! has done this, but when you have the attention of the nation and you use your talent to tell people to watch MTV or drink Pepsi or tell people they need to spend money in anyway, you've given up your status as an artist and have become a sellout piece of shit. You've become an employee of some other multi million dollar company that doesn't give a shit about art.

Just listen to the lyrics, the passion, the story, enjoy it. That's it, nothing more.

@1014Timothybrooks The majority of the '99%' are American loving capitalists.
