Breakin' the static, a life automatic
Everyone mad about you
Look like a dirty old bruise, face like a faded tattoo

Life imitated, it's only faded
Tired of waitin' on you
What did you want me to do, sit here and dream about

Oh no, oh no, oh no!

You know you're better off you bastard, bastard, bastard
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You know I'm better off you bastard, bastard, bastard
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Now that you're sane and the picture you painted
Don 't really look much like you
Little more long in the tooth, whatdya' you know about truth?
Is it there and it's just interferin', life isn't fair but I knew
What if I'm haunted by you, every time that I

Oh no, oh no, oh no!

(Chorus)

You are my favorite disaster
Finally time to clear the air

Just don't forget to breathe
Please don't forget to breathe
Everyone's better off this way

So take it away
Take it away
Take it away

(Chorus)

Just don't forget to breathe
Please don't forget to breathe
Everyone's better off this way

So take it away
Take it away
Take it away

Go!

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
