How Phil Elverum keeps mystery alive Pt 2: the uncoolest song

The reason why the lyrics to Mt. Eerie's "Don't Smoke" are interesting should be self-explanatory.

Is it because there's a little part of you that wants to be dead?

Or is it because
your life feels empty
without some ritual?

Or is it because
the rebellion against the adults
hasn't ended yet?

Or you don't sell cigarettes
And you are young & rich
for now

You have the ritual
of waking up each day
and it will fill you...

It's no excuse to start smoking

Where is the rebellion
In acting like a fuck up

After the jump, a dissenting view from Motley Crue.
