Hate to beat the dead horse, but...

I'm surprised no one mentioned this before.

Is it possible that the Jerk-Off is related to the song Prison Sex?

But it must not be true
for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
but I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe it's just bullshit and I should play GOD,
and shoot you myself.
Because I'm tired of waiting.


(I also wonder if "Thomas" by APC is a similar theme...)

Or maybe not? What do you think? Maynard's anger seems too focused here to be referring to assholes in general.

Re: Hate to beat the dead horse, but...

I dont see any evidence pointing to these two songs relating but i see the possibility of this song being focused on a person or a specific group of people. once again i dont see much evidence in that either, only from personal experience in writing music.

No evidence. Just a stupid theory I posted on a whim.

It's just a song based on actions and consequences, no more, no less
