This band has always been about self-gratification. No one asked us to do this. We did it for ourselves. But if we had one message we'd like to impart on you, this is it.
lyrics
Verse 1 (G-D-G-C, G-D-C):
We started a band because we were bored.
We wrote two songs and taught ourselves every chord.
But some of us still had to learn how to play an instrument.
We fell in love, we slept around,
(Some of us never got off the ground).
We may not be heroes, but we got ourselves a microphone.
Pre-Chorus (G-D-G-C, G-D-C):
This is what we say to you, and we hope you sing along.
Chorus 1:
Fuck Trump, drink beer,
Start a riot, have no fear.
The world has gone to shit,
And nobody seems to care about it.
Drink more, not less,
Love your friends, and forget the rest.
Why are we such slaves to greed,
When John and Paul say it's love you need?
Verse 2:
It's been two years, we had our fun.
It took that long to get my mom to come to a show.
(And only one of us has done cocaine.)
We played board games, we made a mess.
(I asked the RA to play strip chess.)
We graduated and now all of us are moving away.
(To Tokyo! To Iowa! Cole's basement!)
Pre-Chorus:
This is what we sing for you,
And we hope you sing along.
Chorus 2:
Folk-punk, sleep late.
When you get to heaven just jump the gate.
Can't you see that we we adore you,
When you sing so loud we can't ignore you?
Fuck Trump, drink beer,
Start a riot, have no fear.
The world has gone to shit,
And nobody seems to care about it.

Baribeau is so honest and open on this record, it's almost too painful to listen too. The man bares his soul, and it's a touching and honest look at life, love, & what we all are doing here. Trashbag Ponchos
Apes of the State is everything right about folk-punk. Angsty, gritty, deeply engaging, and about personal and societal growth. April Hartman shows she's top of the writing game on this charming album Trashbag Ponchos
