TISM, Trout Fishing In Quebec & Daisygrinders @ The Metro

I probably bought this at this gig. One of the 4 times I saw this great Australian band. Besides the fact that I bought a shirt and just about every concert I went to in the 90's the other reasons for this particular one is 1) it's done in the style of a football jersey, the This Is Serious Mom t-shirt has the lyrics of All Homeboys Are Dickheads and 2) it had the number 5 on the back - my number back in the Killarney Vale soccer days.

While the yellow lyrics on a white shirt are hard to read (which may have been a good thing) they are as follows:

I know his dad's abusive

And his mum prefers the daughter

I know he's got an attention

Deficiency disorder

He is culturally excluded

And genetically inbred

But the reason he's a homeboy

Is because he's a dickhead

We all support empowerment

And positive discrimination
When your class, your race, your age, your face
Determine your social station
A baseball cap and a love of rap
Might need sympathy - yet, still
Possibly a homeboy could be

A dickhead pure and simple

This long sleeve shirt got too small and in 2010 it was sadly retired.
