Biography:
Less Than Jake is a ska-punk band formed in 1992 in Gainesville, USA. Their current line-up consists of Chris DeMakes (vocals, guitar), Roger Lima (vocals, bass), Matt Yonker (drums), Buddy Schaub (trombone) and Peter "JR" Wasilewski (saxophone).
The band's name derives from a bird Vinnie had while growing up, which was treated better than the rest of the family. It's also a reference to the phrase "everything is jake," which is an old phrase meaning everything is cool.

Verse
If only my problems were like water
they could be boiled away
and watching the steam drift upward,
watching my problems drift away.
Pre-Chorus:
And watch the steam turn and twist,
watch it all drift away.
Look how it rises and lifts
watch my problems drift away.
Chorus:
Ohh ohhh ohhh
