            Note to users: If you're not sure if the song you have in mind has already been mentioned or not, open a new tab or window page of this topic, then press Command (Apple key) + F (find) and type in the name in the search box on the bottom left corner (works for most browsers), then press "Next" until it completes the search. It will highlight related query terms until no more exists.

                          40 oz to Freedom - Sublime
                          "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."
                          Socrates.
