lyrics: My friend Mattson is a flake, don't you forget it
He'll always stand you up for chump change
Missed our last show for a Bucks game, yeah you know it
It's always been a sorry exchange
But you know he's not a bad guy
He's just got new priorities
Lately he's been Scooter's little barfly, yeah he's blowing
Two hundred fifty there on everyone but me

Hey Mattson, what you up to?
I got something to tell you
Ain't got nothing against you
I'm just saying - whoa oh oh oh

Every now and then I'll get a call asking how I'm feeling
What kind of records am I checking out these days?
But I can't help myself from keeping on and disbelieving
He always sets us back in many other ways
Like I said, he's not a bad guy
And if you meet him you'll agree
But lately I've been feeling kinda bad, just a bit forgotten
Sometimes I think he likes my brother more than me

Maybe I'm overstated
A bit accentuated
But I don't feel the least sedated
And I'm gonna act a fool

My friend Mattson is a flake, let me tell you 'bout it
He'll break your plans to watch The O.C.
I still love him but the man has got to get around it
He's yet to finally convince me
