Band Name Origins:

Corruption of the word "refugees". Wyclef Jean, in a press release for his new clothing company, said (in part) "Everyone in the United States is a refugee to some degree. No one's culture originated here. In the past either our parents or ancestors left their homelands to come here for various reasons. People die because they are refugees. People need to remember that." Submitted by: baudtender

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Ready Or Not"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Gun blast,
think fast,
I think I'm hit.
My girl pinched my hips
to see if I still exist.
I think not,
I'll send a letter
to my friends

Why They're Nonsensical:

your girl pinched your hips to check if you weren't dead? how is that going to help anyone stay alive?! another thing...you later mentioned that you died...so how can you send a letter to your friends?!
