lyrics

I read an apology letter
Handwritten on wrinkled paper
One sentence with many misspellings
Given to my son by another first grader

It said "I'm sorry for saying that your dad looks weird"
I guess most dads don't have long hair or unkept beards
I wasn't sure what to say, without the time to rehearse
So I told him to forgive him because I've been called worse

I've been called worse
I've been called worse
I've heard every word in the universe
I've been called worse
I've been called worse. "Weird" doesn't phase me, because I've been called worse

It started a week before
When I walked in the school door
To be the class volunteer
Help kids improve their math scores

It went as expected until the following week
When some kid told my son that I look like a freak
Then he took exception, told his teacher at school
Who later reached out to reassure me I'm cool. I told her I've been called worse

Broken Barcodes Columbus, Ohio

Three neighborhood dads in need of a hobby, united in a quest to fend off boredom, attain unfulfilled juvenile dreams and make use of those dusty instruments, all while trying to not piss off the neighbors.

A punk band from Columbus, Ohio. Heavily inspired by 1990’s pop punk, early hardcore and the Ramones.
