The Self Destructin’ Candy Brain 
Hurts a little bit but it’s worth the pain
 For all the candy lovin’ people 
in its  10 foot glorious blast radius  

His loved ones, always knew something was wrong
 But they didn’t know, what he put his hat on 
Cause a symptom of this condition is a hesitance for the tests 
and now they're scared, that this could happen to them

  The pressure, in his head, was enough to measure 
And the colorful explosion was accompanied by song  

The Self Destructin’ Candy Brain
 Hurts a little bit but it’s worth the pain 
For all the candy lovin’ people in its  10 foot glorious blast radius  
Where those that are without realize their riches 
And automatic weapons only shoot out butterflies 

Visibility’s reduced to inches
 On account of the amount of all the candy comin’ out of   

The Self Destructin’ Candy Brain
 Hurts a little bit but it’s worth the pain 
For all the candy lovin’ people in its  10 foot glorious blast radius

The Good Excuses @ Radio 104.5

One day I could be a tomato 
Lose all my memories and motor skills 
A burden in the making 
These diapers aren’t gonna change themselves

Chew my food 
Spit it in my mouth
This is how I eat now

Prescription medication 
For basic body functions 
Keeping this train wreck rolling

There isn’t any shame involved
 With Forgetting all 
The names of everyone 
Saying they’re your kids  

This is how I eat now
 This is how I eat now

Sponge me down 
Let me roam around the town 
Completely unaware of all the people there
Where’s my gun ?
I remember that’s right, oh yeah 
Under the stairs, that’s where  
This is how I eat now

One day they’ll run me a blood test
 And be baffled by the abnormalities 
And although Ill already sort of know things  
My name and whereabouts will be new to me  

There isn’t any shame involved 
With Forgetting all
 The names of everyone 
Saying they’re your kids  

This is how I eat now 
This is how I eat now

I Could  Be a Tomato

The Good Excuses is an indie rock band from Willow Grove, PA that wears Grunge underwear, an optional Space helmet, a Funk watch, and whatever dirty Rock shirt they want to. They are four unusual people excited by the freedom they have to write unconventional music. With influences such as Nirvana, the Dead Milkmen, the Pixies, and The Flaming Lips, their music is full of optimism, aggression, and a sense of humor. Their lyrics, more often than not, tell a story which can stand on its own but is open to interpretation.
Playing nearly 40 shows before their album was even released, The Good Excuses put out "30 Minutes or Less" (which is actually about 44 minutes long) on 7/5/13. They recorded, mixed, and mastered the album themselves.
The Good Excuses rehearse and record in a windowless, un-heated, non air-conditioned soundproof room which they built with their own 9 hands. It gets sweaty and disgusting in there, but it's what they're used to now. The taco place down the street doesn't help the situation, either. Only when they are at their sweatiest, only when they are absolutely freezing cold, do The Good Excuses write their best music. 
The Good Excuses new album, 30 Minutes Or Less, is now available on iTunes.
