"Gooners" lyrics
Our name is Gel and we broke up
'Cause our old guitar player was gooning
Hey everyone, friends and fans is no longer a band
And therefore will not be playing any of our currently scheduled upcoming shows
The reason is pretty simple at its core
The former guitar player, Anthony Webster
Has committed such heinous acts in trying to forward himself in his musical career
That he's done irreparable damage to the band in the process
And it's affected us as human beings
More than we can even attempt to explain
To the point of being completely unable to do the band anymore
Here are some examples of what he's done:
He's stolen tens of thousands of dollars from us
And the best part is that he left it all on record for us to eventually find
He spent it on his own rent, personal food orders
And really whatever else he wanted to
Because for a long period of time
No-one had access to the bank account (or any accounts for that matter) but him
Despite numerous attempts to gain access, because you know
We're a band, and we should have all had access to those things
Oh yeah, he also spent it on a truly unbelievable number of OnlyFans purchases
And mysterious CashApp transactions, likely in the same lane
He posted nude images of band members on Reddit for the world to see
Yup, just casually, for who knows what purpose
Let that one really sink in
He did that all while still in a band with us too, by the way
Luckily, he's truly terrible at covering up his tracks
So we have the receipts to prove that one
He put us in physically dangerous situations numerous times
From talking shit on the band Twitter
And getting our van window smashed in with a baseball bat
To regularly driving erratically like a psychopath
Because he was 'upset' for again, who knows what reason (oh yeah)
(He wouldn't let anyone else drive either by the way)
So we just had to deal with it
And throwing things at us because he's a little fucking baby
And can't handle himself like an adult
It was always the same with him
Absolute misery and inconsideration for anyone and everyone around him LOL
(Well, except for the people who he wanted to impress and would feign being a nice guy to... LOL)
Oh
Oh
Now, I'm sure a lot of people are thinking
'Well why didn't you just stop dealing with it?
Why didn't you just leave?'
If you've ever been in abusive relationship, emotionally and/or physically, you'll probably understand this better
(It's like that)
But with your life's work and passion at the forefront as well
It's not so easy to just give something up that you care so much about
Especially with pressures from outside organizations, people, etc that are all counting on you in some way
We wish...
