Pegboy
Pegboy is an American punk band from Chicago, Illinois with a relatively large cult following. They were founded in 1990 by John Haggerty (ex-guitarist for Naked Raygun), along with his brother Joe Haggerty (drums, formerly of The Effigies), Larry Damore (vocals/guitar), and Steve Saylors (bass). Both Damore and Saylors had been members of Chicago-based hardcore band Bhopal Stiffs, whose 1987 demo had been produced by John Haggerty. Pegboy's 1990 debut EP, "Three-Chord Monte", was also the first release by Quarterstick Records, an offshoot of Touch and Go Records. Steve Saylors dropped out in 1992 after job commitments prevented him from touring. Steve Albini, a longtime friend of the band, filled the bass slot on the "Fore" EP. Former Naked Raygun bassist Pierre Kezdy became the permanent bass player in 1994. After the reformation of Naked Raygun, Mike Thompson took over for Kezdy on bass.
Pegboy supposedly played a "farewell" show on New Year's Eve in 1999 but then denied that it was really a "farewell" show a few years later when they returned to live action.

You
by: PegboyYou, you feel life's a calamity
You, you're not sure who you are
You, you wish you could be someone else
You, you wish that it won't be too far
You, you wish you could be better now
Bet, the grinds getting tougher
Bet, you wish you could be something else
Sometimes life seems much rougher
All your castles of sand have blown away
You're no different then they are
Though your castles of sand are blown away
You're no different then they are.
You, you wish you could be satisfied
feel the rope get tighter
Try, I know that it's withing your sight
Feel the chain get lighter.
All your castles of sand seem blown away
You're no different than they are
Though your castles of sand have blown away
You're no different than they are
Why on earth would you have dreams anyway
