Jeff Rosenstock - 9/10 Lyrics

I currently have '9/10 times Ill be stoned on subway' stuck in my head on loop now at all times

Happy 9/10

2032+2033=2034

2032+2033=2034

2029+2030=2031

2027+2028=2029

2026+2027=2028

2022+2023=2024

2020+2021=2022

2018+2019=2020

2022+2023=2024

2020+2021=2022

2018+2019=2020

... why this isn’t a banger in America confuses me ...

pizza shit???

is that a moTHER FUCKING GAME GRUMPS reference??

lyrics:

Every night you go to bed
You wake up just a little more in pain
Every time you’re dressing for a sunny day
The clouds surprise you with rain
Every cigarette you smoke
‘Cause you’re addicted to a quiet source of company
Every time you told ‘em you were busy
‘Cause you’d rather go to sleep
Nine times out of ten I’ll be stoned on the subway
Reading backlit directives of what I should do
Dodging eye contact with anyone who looks my way
Nine times out of ten I’ll be thinking of you
Every little victory don’t matter when nobody seems to care
Winning ten bucks on a scratch-off lotto ticket
The keys you thought disappeared
Every vacant moment you’ve exhausted all the options
That you thought could fill the hole
Every star you’re wishing on just hoping for a little self-control
Tired of feeling selfish
You're tired of feeling restless
You're tired of feeling down
Nine times out of ten I’ll be stoned on the subway
Reading backlit directives of what I should do
Dodging eye contact with anyone who looks my way
Nine times out of ten I’ll be thinking of you
I’m so out of place when I can’t be with you
If I don’t see your face
It’s almost like I missed you
Don’t see your face, it’s almost like I missed you
It’s almost like I miss you
It’s almost like I miss you
Nine times out of ten I’ll be stoned on the subway
Reading backlit directives of what I should do
Dodging eye contact with anyone who looks my way
Nine times out of ten I’ll be thinking of you

I saw the fear in the poor guy's eyes you couldn't help but feel sorry for him and then he gets eaten up

Sound like a chrismas song ... I like it !

Sometimes, even when the world has torn you to pieces and yr at yr lowest, sometimes a total stranger will walk by and give you the kindness you need to survive.

I Love Jeff Rosenstock <3

What a gem of a song...pure genius.

This song is "My Life" by Billy Joel don't @ me

THE PLOT TWIST

Jeff, this is all about the constant state of stress induced by our "elected" leaders right? it has to be. 9 times out of 10 I'll be thinking of you (the crushing stress of watching the country be flushed down the toilet). I don't see your face its almost like I miss you (If you dont read about Trump doing stupid shit for a couple of days its almost weird), reading pamphlet directives of what I should do(indivisable).

This is excellent.

Very Mr. Scruff video..

"The only track I take particular issue with is Let Them Win. It’s a pleasant enough closing singalong, almost as simple as Beating My Head Against A Wall seven times over. Between this and the lovely, sad ballad 9/10, however, the last two songs on his third album, it makes you wonder if Jeff is going the way of Wood/Water and Jets to Brazil, increasingly peeled of punk influence. I like Wood/Water and Jets to Brazil, I just would rather he went somewhere less well trodden. I get that he may be trying to transcend the subculture, à la broad movement building, but this is just too close to the simplistic, boneless McResistance offered up by power-hungry, Russiagate-bollocks Democrats to be all that compelling."

Is this the animator who made They Might Be Giant’s video “I Like Fun”?

ding ding ding

Jefff!! I love you so much and your such an amazing person and your my favorite artist from my punk days.......you would make so many people happy if you started jamming some original BTMI sounding music again. I paid to see the end and it hurt. I don’t care that the purpose died, just keep the sound going man!!!

Jeff Radioheadstock

Dat ass

yeah man!

I can't be the only one who thinks this is a completely different mix than the album version.

First thing I thought haha

Wow. Love this so much

Heroin addict here. Honestly this describes my habit pretty well.

What love song cant be transposed to be about drugs

It's been a year. You kicked it yet?

J G P is like to know too

I really liked this. Sounds like this song was inspired by Quasi.

🍕💩 is laocated @ 4:20? They had some good 🍕 makin this 💩.

:26 😆😆😆😆😆

What the fuck. If that isn't the most Jeff Rosenstock thing I've ever seen

Does anyone know who the female singer doing the backup vocals is?

Laura Stevenson

the great laura stevenson!!

@Polyvinyl Records but not the great Laura Hall from whose line

this song is way too relevant to my life right now

Da fuck is this?

Man I love Gudetama

im so sad man

I hope you're okay <3

don’t be sad dude, look at this cool ass fucking video. take it the right way and don’t view the world through the eyes of nihilism. i have no clue what caused you to say that you were sad 7 months ago but you’re doing alright man, you got through it and you’ll continue to keep getting through this life. that’s something that you should always remember, the point to life isn’t to find happiness, it’s to live your life and perceive all possible things as much as you can. LIVE YOUR LIFEEEEE

Hope things are better today man!

Why this song, and not "Yr Throat"?

Leisure Muffin that’s how much the animation sucks, nothing about this seems IDEALIZED for the specific content it’s paired with. When the video itself could apply to any song off the album and not the specific one it’s made for, it makes this video pointless.

Very fun. Thanks, Jeff.

we live in a society

I fucking love this.

10/10 video

Andy S 9/10

JEFF JEFF JEFF
love this video

This video got 9/10

❤🎶🎵🎶🎵

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Why the reference?

The best song on the record gets a video and its the most beautiful and morbid thing ever. Thank you Papa Jeff.

Haha great video!! 😄✌🏻💜😂🤗😎

Joren Cull is a fan of unexpected bloody deaths at the end of otherwise cheerful music videos, huh?

i love you jeff

Thank you for everything Jeff

animated! NICE!

lukas m you have low standards

BEEFISBURGERS its pretty cute though

ooooOOOOOOOOHHH mama thats some good stuff right there

So, pretty much be skeptical of things that are out to take advantage of your desperation and loneliness because there are cannibals out there. Sharply dressed, tear you limb from limb cannibals.

but in the end, once in a while, a person will help you out in a practical, less flashy way. plugging you in while eating pizza.

one of my favorites from the new record. great video too

I love Cave Story

ily2 <3

Great. Very good. Like this. Thank you.

That video was fking amazing! Was the person at the end recharging the main character or draining the energy he had left?

Good song too. Polyvinyl has been killing it.

Also bring back 'On the Clock' that show was awesome.

he was giving the main character some of his own energy. you can see his LED thingy changing from flashing red/yellow to green as he opens his eyes again.

Nikki Esmeralda

Nice catch! That makes sense that he was charging him back up so his light turned green.

Love Jeff Rosenstock so much. This is probs my favourite song on the album. Keep up the great work!

Weeeeeeee!!

This is fucking beautiful
