I put a grenade in your alligator mouth/ that's how the union went and torched the fucking south/ Ted's in the west/ he smashed you in your jealous snout/ decipher what you think this song may be about
Hey hey/ Ted rose today/ He's here to say follow the leader/ boo hoo/ my sight's on you/ you're no good so follow the leader.
You're just a little swine/ wee weeing all the time/ somewhere on the road you should have read the fucking sign/ Found you in my dumping ground/ a victim of pure force/ Now you know who's the fucking boss.
Hey hey/ Ted rose today/ He's here to say follow the leader/ boo hoo/ my sight's on you/ you're no good so follow the leader.
You sycophantic sheep/ Amputees we mob about seven deep/ We'll put your brains to fucking sleep/ pile your old bones in a blackened heap.
can you feel my fingers clinging round your neck/ Ted he taught me how/ now I'm the fucking best/ Go look ahead you know the past's an empty town/ Look behind you cause the future's my stomping ground.
Hey hey/ Ted rose today/ He's here to say follow the leader/ boo hoo/ my sight's on you/ you're no good so follow the leader.

Mannequin Pussy deliver the catchiest punk tunes without falling into the cliches most pop punk falls into. It's kind of Hole crashing into The Shangri-las. Beautiful. The Amputees
Another kickass effort from the Toronto punks, steeped in the traditions of straight edge, post-hardcore, and ’90s alternative rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2023
Self-described "power goth" band from Colorado goes maximalist with a strident album inspired by ’90s pop punk, emo, and alternative. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 30, 2023
Sandcastle’s 2012 album gets a sorely needed reissue, it’s oddball pop arrangements still sounding ahead of their time. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 13, 2023
