From the recording That's Not Me
This song is Kruiser’s tribute to 70’s funk music. When bassist Aiden Heuser joined the band, their love of funk took more of a center stage than before. When recording the song, they wanted to take what they did on “Misadventure” from their second album, but make it more funk rather than rock.
It was released as a stand alone single due to it not fitting well with other songs they were writing at the time.
The song is about literally nothing. When Liam wrote the lyrics the goal was to capture the vibe rather than tell a story.

Lyrics
Stop your petty fighting, just sit back relax
When minding my own business, you just overreact
You’re sick and tired of funking, get verbally attacked
You’d rather see me wearing a white feathered hat
You feel I’m a competitor
But really I’m no savior
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
When there is a problem, Im gonna turn my back
When there is money in it, gonna cover any tracks
You’re sick and feeling busted, your wrist just got a slap
Look through your television now it is a wrap
Can’t make my mind on anything
More so then I have ever been
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
If you feel we’re all the same
Some of us might find it so mundane
If you think you’ll make everyone happy
Then let your freak flag fly, reach out to the sky
And you might not find it
To keep from feeling free
Stop your petty fighting, just sit back relax
When minding my own business, you just overreact
When you’re sick and tired of funking, your wrist just got a slap
But when you see me wearing a white feathered hat
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
That’s not me, baby that’s not me yeah
That’s not me, baby that’s not me yeah
That’s not me
Oh oh oh ooh oh
That’s not me, baby that’s not me
That’s not me, yeah that’s me
