lyrics
Going down the road feeling bad
I’m going down the road feeling bad
Going down the road feeling bad and I ain’t gonna be treated this way
My heroes are giant piles of trash
All my heroes are giant piles of trash
My heroes are giant piles of trash, and I ain’t gonna be treated this way
Our whole generation can’t afford a home
Our whole generation can’t afford a home
Our whole generation can’t afford a home, and we ain’t gonna be treated this way
The president’s a racist transphobe
The president’s a racist transphobe
The president’s a racist transphobe, and we ain’t gonna be treated this way
Well the whole world is one big dumpster fire
Oh, the whole world is one big dumpster fire
The whole world is one big dumpster fire, and we ain’t gonna be treated this way
Going down the road feeling bad
I’m going down the road feeling bad
Going down the road feeling bad and I ain’t gonna be treated this way

We hope you love this record half as much as we loved making it.
Drawing heavily on ska, pop, & punk, WATU’s 2021 full length, ‘Ordinary Life,’ balances soul crushing lyrics about dysphoria
& heartbreak w/ endless hooks & furiously catchy choruses. The album, which serves as vocalist Reade Wolcott’s coming out as a trans woman, was recorded in secret in a rented house in Joshua Tree w/ producer Jon Graber. ‘Ordinary Life’ releases June 4th via Bad Time Records....more
