Cause I Said So - The Godfathers

Cause I Said So - The Godfathers
2:47
Birth, School, Work, Death, 1988
Written by the Godfathers

Ramones-inspired British punk-rock band hits hard, but a little on the nose, with this brash, nihilistic "I won't do what you tell me" song.  The chorus is the title shouted several times, while the main lyrics are so dumb they're amusingly clever.  "Every day's a thrill when you're living like me / Don't read Baudelaire's poetry / And I don't need no Ph.D."  I mean, you have to give it to a band that proclaims they're anti-book learning, but still can toss out a reference to Baudelaire.
