Edison says: "In 2002, I went with my then-girlfriend to see Ok Go and The Donnas at Emo's in Austin. We got there early so we'd be able to grab a spot up front and stay there for the evening. About two minutes before the show started, a couple of 6'+ guys showed up and just shoved themselves in front of us. Did I say anything? No. I thought about it. Instead, I wrote this."

Didn't pay 20 bucks and service fees for my girlfriend to see 
her favorite band, so you can plant your towering ass in front of her 
5'5" frame and take shots of the tits of the Donnas
with your camera to post on your website of all those zoom shots you took two feet away - 
cause they were sooo far...

Tall guys at rock shows should get the fuck down
or stand further back where they see plenty fine
They can't be all bad, all the tall ones - so how 
come you keep blockin' my girl in the crowd? 

You say that you'll mosh,
but you're really just standing around.
There's no pit today, you're just being demanding
for space you don't need you dumb ass
