"Punk Ass Bitch.mp3"	main~stream's take on the futility of high school crushes. Featured Song in the East Coast category on mp3.com! (why we were chosen for this honor, we'll never know) If you can handle raspy white-boy rapping that is a little more than exceedingly bitter married to the sounds of a cheap Casio, go for it hoss.

Story Behind the Song
Punk Ass Bitch was written and recorded in one (1) take around December 1996. It describes the irrational feelings one tends to have for female 'objects' (for there is no other term to refer to their type as) that are out of one's reach. The lyrics were conceived as the tape rolled on the only take in a fit of bitterness.

We at main~stream are particularly proud of the Street Fighter 2 reference in this song, as it is one of main~stream's favorite games, which we enjoy at our local arcade frequently.

Lyrics
Punk Ass Bitch

I went to school just the other day
You wouldn't look at me
I look at you all of the time but it's like you barely acknowledge my presence
I guess it's not that important that you see me another way
'Cause I still can have my fun when I'm alone in the covers on Tuesday

Now I see you at the lunch table
I asked for a packet of ketchup, you had plenty
You wouldn't share though you had a million many
You and your friends are all laughing at my futile attempt of getting to know you better
Well I found out who you were that day... yeah.

You're nothing but a punk ass bitch
You're nothing but a stinking ass ho
You're nothing but a punk ass bitch

I saw you at the mall just the other day
You saw me standing in the arcade
Kicking everybody's ass at Street Fighter 2
With Ken killing Balrog with my 5 hit combo
You didn't give a damn you just laughed
Though I played a killer game and saved 5 dollars in cash
All you cared about was those jeans you bought from the Gap
And so...

You're nothing but a punk ass bitch
You're nothing but a stinking ass ho
You're nothing but a punk ass bitch

I wonder what to do with you.
What do I do? It makes me want to scream.

Waiting forever.
