Top 20 Local Songs of 2018 - Fort Worth Weekly
16. “Teeth,” Summerjob
Over a simple electric piano, former Movie the Band co-frontman Mac Probst, now known as Summerjob, narrates a gruesome interrogation in first-person before a jaunty guitar line and a heroic string section add to the almost comical musical contradiction, creating the happiest and most hopeful-sounding song in the world about being brutally beaten to death.

Lyrics
I coughed up blood spit out my teeth
But that wasn’t what they wanted to see
They wanted answers from me
Late that night we were walking along
When they introduced me to the dogs
But there was someone there who swears she saw it all
They took me somewhere i didn’t know
Pushed me around and broke my bones
I was thrown into a hole
Woke up slow i was buried alive
Little did they know i had already died
They claimed it was suicide
Is it okay to live like that
Always looking behind your back
So nobody steals from you i’ve been there too
I coughed up blood spit out my teeth
But that wasn’t what they wanted to see
They wanted me to bleed
