This song has aged better than I would have thought.

Actually, I was thinking the exact oppostite. I liked it a lot when it first came out, but is not wearing like a favorite pair of jeans, does not hold up under oversaturation, meh.

Sucko barfo. can't even think of a second verse? idiotic singing? lame guitar riffs?

Thank you ever so much for not using that horrible little barfing emoticon. {#Notworthy}

Erm, and there IS a second verse (the "sugar in the tank" one)? The singing is "idiotic" because the lead singer sings that way (think "Green Day")? The "lame guitar riffs" are just simple because this was a throwaway song and they have much better stuff on the CD but this was so much fun?

This song always makes me laugh. The video was so cute.

I love this song. Such snarky, snappy lyrics, and a sort of "Thelma and Louise" feel to it.

So just how far down do you want to go
And we could talk it out over a cup of joe
And you could look deep into my eyes
Like I was a super-model
Uh-huh

Well, it's you and me baby no one else we can trust
We'll say nothin' to no one no how or we bust
And never crack a smile
Or flinch or cry for nobody
Uh-uh

Chorus:
Well give your ID card to the border guard
Yeah, your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
'Cause he won't speak English anyway

Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
And we'll divvy up there

Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
Well I got the pistol so I'll keep the Pesos
Yeah and that seems fair

So put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
And slash the deputy's tires and they won't get very far
When they finally get the word
That there's been a hold-up uh-huh

likely a repeat on my part but:
No truer words have been sung......"Everybody knows, the world is full of stupid people"

They seem to be poppy, perfect mediocrity at best.

And I'm trying to decide between Excellent and Outstanding.
