A**hole Father

I waited for you yesterday
I waited and missed the last train
I waited to say that I'd fallen in love with your way
I waited for you yesterday
Eventually walked home in the rain
I waited to see if you felt the same for me

But you don't,
And you won't
Go against your a**h*le father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?

I waited for minds to change
Pointing their fingers of blame
It's not my fault you're ashamed of how you feel

But you don't,
And you won't
Go against your a**h*le father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?

Cause you don't
Just admit it
Cause you won't
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
I called you a sleeper and broke down your door
But you don't even hate me!
And how could I heal when you won't even feel?
Why won't you hate me?!

But you don't and you won't
Go against your a**h*le father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?
But you don't cause your nothing but
Broken down daddy's little daughter
AREN'T CHA?!!
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?

I love that this is a giant F-you to Shim's ex-girlfriend... and it's great that he can rub it in her face lol (sorry... LOVED what Shim said before performing this last time I saw them)

He said something along the lines of this..... She was the prettiest girl in school and she decided to go out with him and all was well, but then her dad got in the way (or something... Don't really remember that part) and then he was able to write the song and sell a bunch of albums and yeah.... Something like that lol

Shim talks about it in pretty great detail on the UGO site/performance.

You can find that here:

Thank you! That is probably twenty million times better than me trying to describe it! My memory is horrible lol

I love this song , and the acoustic version is amazing, I think that may be the same one I have on my myspace page. wonder how the ex - girlfriend feels now and if she knows about this song! !!

Wouldn't we all just love to be able to write something like this and have it known around the world. I know I have a couple people I'd like to call out like that.

The A**hole father sounds like my sterpdad.
Except I would NEVER EVER ditch a guy because he didnt like him.
Its wrong.

This song reminds me of my own A**hole father

Thats so amusing what Shim says. Thanks for the sharing the video link

Becky, didn't he say something along those lines at our concert? It's vaguely familiar and I don't hangout on youtube much so I don't think I'd have heard it there.. now I don't remember. :/

This is an homage to powerful dads and bitter ex-boyfriends everywhere! ::)

good god!!!!

noone in their right mind would ever do that to shim... familly or not!!!!

I'D DIE!

One of my favorites, it just seems so angry at times...i love it
