Biography:
The Slackers are a classic American band that is equal parts grit and grace. Their slow rise against the odds is a story in perseverance and a belief in their musical vision, what Vic likes to call, "Jamaican Rock N Roll." While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by Jamaican ska/reggae originators, like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (Original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music as an extension of the traditions of the United States.

Intro: E, B, A, E x2
Verse:
E B A E
I sat myself down Tuesday wrote myself a song
E B A E
Just things I want to say about what is wrong
A E A E
But all of my complainin' well it comes to no avail
A E A B
The things I really need to say I've yet to learn myself
Chorus:
A E A E
I won't cry no And I won't wail no
A E A E
I tell myself that you can never fail
E A
Until it's over
E A E A E B
And when it's over it's over
Verse:
So I wrote myself a letter and I sent it off to you
To make myself feel better I tried to tell the truth
I wrote a song for Jesus Christ and one for Noah's Ark
I sang a song for mornin' light and I still sat in the dark
Chorus:
I won't cry no And I won't wail no
I tell myself that you can never fail
Until it's over
And when it's over it's over
Verse:
So I accept I can do nothing do nothing at all
I see myself a big long road and I build myself a wall
I dig myself a tunnel so I could get on under
And join the rest of the human race just ask 'why ' and wonder
Chorus:
I won't cry no And I won't wail no
I tell myself that you can never fail
Until it's over
And when it's over it's over
