Larry was a pessimist, I wanna be like Larry
He bore the burden of a soul that's always burning
And says "every one should be like me!"
Well it's easy to be an anarchist
When you've got record companies to pay for it
You're no rebel if you're playing by the rules

Larry's O, he need no fucking dough
Anarchy's the way, oh he's really not that sorry
Larry's old, and just like some little girls
Oh, I guess we all get in his way

Larry was a drunken mess, and sometimes I'd rather be like Larry
But he sees me staying sober and he'll lose it all together
And then Larry wants to be like me

Yeah, it's a real triumph that I seem distressed
I'm not pissed, I'm just unimpressed
And the reason I don't care is 'cause it's all been done before
Larry's road, it's really getting old, am I in your way?
Oh I'm really really sorry

Larry's old, but acts like a little girl
Oh I guess it all gets in the way
Larry knows, I'm just doing this for the dough
And you better hope this makes no money
'Cause we've got four album options
Larry's O, just like him and he knows,
But, oh, the joke is getting old

I love how he rattles off the stats at the end of the tune as to how long it actually took him to make the record. Brilliant!!!

@FelipeMontez This album is making fun of punk music. And the end of this song talks about how Devin's musical career is just starting and maybe he'll end up successful.

The ending is a voice message left by C.J. (bassist/vocalist for The Wildhearts. A punk band that Devy was in.)

Genius.

I dont understand the speeches on the final,and the tape recording on the final too...

[Gettles]

Thus concludes the biggest dick the ass of punk rock will ever have the pleasure of being raped by!
