Where's The Fun?
00:50
|
|
||
|
What's up with this craze that passes for hardcore these days? It's core in name but not in style. If you think it is, you're in denial. Fuck this. Hardcore tradition grew out of punk rock, it's true. Now this kung fu metal crap is edging punk right off the map. Fuck that. Suck ass. Where is the fun? Where is the energy? Where is the outrage? Where's the punk rock urgency? Circle pits are way more fun. You're just trying to hurt someone. Are kung fu breakdowns here to stay? Somehow we got lost along the way.

It's All You
00:25
|
|
||
|
I was right. You were fucking wrong. Don't blame me for your being fucked. It's all your fault. I'm not to blame. This one's all you. It's not me. Point out any scapegoat that you can find. You're still the asshole who fucked it all up.
|

Bully Moshpit
00:04
|
|
||
|
You're so fortunate that I hate violence. Otherwise you would get my foot stuck in your face.
|
||||
4. |
|
|||
|
We just want a good time, instead of supplying yours on our dime. I just wanna see some bands, instead of watching for flying feet and hands. Get the fuck out. Take your friends. This is where your bullshit ends. We may have aggression to vent. But we don't share your violent intent. I just want to enjoy some tunes, not worry about you and your buffoons. Get your feet off my face. Take your "dancing" some other place. Fuck your violent atmosphere. Don't fight your invisible ninjas here.
|

Pass The Effing Popcorn
00:32
|
|
||
|
Everyone gather 'round. The ship is going down. People are finally getting it. Seeing through the bullshit. Cardhouse of lies crashing to the ground. It's about fucking time that you came around. This is gonna be fun as shit.
|
||||
6. |
Cut Through The Crap
00:37
|
|
||
|
So you say we're in Iraq because we're so humanitarian? Because we must defend human rights and never cut any dictator slack? Well the Sauds are worse than the Taliban. And what of our "friends" in Uzbekistan? And when do we stop the genocide in Sudan? Why are we still friends with brutal regimes when we claim the moral high ground? Why do we ignore true crises to launch preemptive wars for dubious reasons? Use your mind. Grow a spine. Understand this country's running out of time.
|
||||
7. |
Get Your Shit Done
00:26
|
|
||
|
Time to man up today. Handle what life throws your way. Reveal for all to see your accountability. Fun is fucking fun. Just get your shit done. Make us all proud. Don't let us down. Find a way, see it through. Don't let this world bury you.
|
||||
8. |
Hope You Like Infest
00:18
|
|
||
|
I hope you like Infest, 'cause that's what we're listening to. I've had a bad day, and nothing else is gonna do. I'm so pissed that I wish all would die. I don't wanna hurt you. That's why I shout along with Joe, to purge my rage. My world, my way. Feeling much better now. The next car ride, I'll let you pick the music out.
|

Yours is not the only path. Cut the self-righteous crap. We're all in this together. Grow up.
|

10. |
Works Both Ways
00:20
|
|
||
|
You have every right to proclaim your hatred of fags. You don't mind if I exercise my right to declare you scum of the fucking earth, do you? Have a nice fucking day, you fucking piece of shit.
|
||||
11. |
|
|||
|
Why did you not flyer for this show? You can't rely on word-of-mouth alone. It's not enough to settle for a decent show. We need a fantastic show. Make sure bands come back again.
|
||||
12. |
Fuck Christmas
00:08
|
|
||
|
Stop mistaking inclusion for your persecution. People celebrate other holidays too. Their recognition is no threat to you. Cut the bullshit. Stop pretending.
|
||||
13. |
Stop Fighting
00:17
|
|
||
|
This world is bigger than your dumb little religion. Your upbringing based on lies teaching you who to despise. Real life will teach otherwise.
|
||||
14. |
Flaccid
00:15
|
|
||
|
Massive ego. Well-stroked cock. Something to prove. Prepare for launch. Blowing a load into far-off lands. Stretched too thin. Reaching collapse. Losing strength. Flaccid, limp and useless.
|
||||
15. |
Stupid Bills
00:06
|
|
||
|
Off to the record store. Where did all my money go?
|
||||
16. |
Black Is The New White
00:18
|
|
||
|
I don't get it. What's your deal? Why can't you realize how gays feel? Your race has fought for its rights. Now you would undermine their fights. Fucking weak Christian mind. Can't see their struggle reflects thine. Compared to race, orientation is lesser. Now the oppressed is the oppressor. Fuck your bigotry.
|
||||
17. |
No Labels Here
00:24
|
|
||
|
That's cool that you're straight edge. I don't give a damn. But I don't need to claim that phrase as part of who I am. I've arrived at similar views on my own, as I choose. Belief systems and labels I eschew. Don't need a name for my point of view. No superiority, just individuality. More power to you. I don't disagree. You can be straight edge, and I can just be me.
|
||||
18. |
Marriage Is For Suckers
00:44
|
|
||
|
So-called tradition, only for the straight. I won't be suckered into the same fate. Your stupid religious institutions don't interest me. Codifying one's love should not be necessary. Until to all this privilege applies, it stays a right that I refuse to recognize.
|
||||
19. |
Frayed Nerve Endings

Headache
00:33
|
|
||
|
I don't need this fucking love. I don't need emotions. I don't need these useless feelings. I don't need weakness. Nothing but a waste of time, another fucking headache. I will thrive on solitude, I depend on nobody. I don't need anyone. I'll make myself happy. No use for this head-game shit. Another source of torment. No more than a simple distraction, an obstacle in my way.
|
||||
21. |
|
|||
|
Your flag is merely a piece of cloth. Patriotism can go fuck off. Your brain has more worth than any army. Only you can make yourself free.
|
||||
22. |
Happy Place
00:36
|
|
||
|
Fuck this world, fuck you all. Everything is dead to me. Right this moment, right this second, I'm just where I wanna be. Just me, the music, together in a blender. Smashing guitars, distorted bass, blasting drums. I'm in my happy place. Nothing can touch me. I'm ready to destroy. Through a black fucking rage, somehow my spirits raise. Yelling my fool head off, yet totally at peace. This is my home.
|
||||
23. |
|
|||
|
Hundreds of animals raised in pens for the purpose of being blown away. Sent to captive habitats. Private hunting clubs where they die en masse. No chance of getting away, as cruel bastards blast pre-captured prey. Does any part of you feel bad about the hundreds of lives you steal? Go on, kill them all if you insist. But I better see you eating all them shits.
|
||||
24. |
|
|||
|
You made a leap for the fortune and fame. Instead you got the shaft, and there's no one else to blame. Fucked in the face. Raped in the ass. Left for fucking dead. Easily forgotten. You learned firsthand what the biz is all about. You'll need a stomach pump to get all the semen out.
NOTE: I hate these lyrics and wish I hadn't written them.
|
||||
25. |
Attack Of The Titos
00:11
|
|
||
|
When literally all is said and done, and you just wanna say, "shut up and play!", we'll still yell about shit that bothers us, because your disdain doesn't make all of our planet's problems go away.
|
||||
26. |
Last Refuge
00:25
|
|
||
|
In this style that we play, there's no money to be made. There's no getting laid, no markets to play, no way of attaining fame. Music stays pure this way. Start your fastcore band today.

I Wanna Be A Frog
00:04
|
|
||
|
Bears are always angry, but frogs are always cool.
|
||||
28. |
|
|||
|
When future history books are written, you won't be remembered as a decisive, courageous leader, but rather what you are: a universally despised asshole piece of shit.
|
||||
29. |
Warehouse
00:12
|
|
||
|
Yet another useless dive. A warehouse for empty lives. That's enough. Fuck this place, I'm going home. Drunken fucks make me depressed. Far past time to ditch this mess.
|
||||
30. |
Not Done Yet
00:21
|
|
||
|
Your life goes to shit. Try to escape from it. Your mind is bruised, you turn to booze. Sliding down the slope, quickly losing hope. Getting fucking trashed. Must it be like that? Open your eyes and realize your friends are there for you, and they will help you through. I am here for you. I will be your friend.
|
||||
31. |
Coward
04:37
|
|
||
|
Lost in my own loneliness, pain and fear. Fear that no one could ever understand. No value in this world. I create my own. There is nothing here for me. I refuse your sympathy. I'm content to run and hide, and trap myself in my own mind. No one will share my thoughts. My emotions rot. Now and then I start to think I have a chance. But I know that I'm fucking doomed to fail. But what do you care? You'll never know, 'cause I'll never show.
|

|
|

|
I'm sorry if your intelligence is insulted, but would you rather see your freedoms catapulted?
|
||||
33. |
|
|||
|
Try to ruin everything. You would piss on our graves in pursuit of your goal to halt the progress made. Not in my backyard. Not in my city. Not in my country. Not on my planet.
|
||||
34. |
|
|||
|
Living on the street. Scavenging for something to eat. Diving into dumpsters. Nothing less than what you deserve. Back alley BJs from the businessmen whose fortunes you raised. Sleeping outdoors. Stripped of almost everything that's yours. This should be your punishment, your just desserts. All your assets auctioned off at fractions of their worth. Kicked out to the gutter to live out your time on earth. Preserve the upper class. Ignore the problems of the lower castes. No other concerns. Resolutely refusing to learn. Happy to let yourself be a tool for your partners-in-wealth. Planet's going to shit. That's OK as long as your friends profit. All the bullshit that you pull will come around again. Someday somewhere down the line, your reign will one day end. Nothing lasts forever, my friend.
|
||||
35. |
Fadeouts Are For Chumps
00:28
|
|
||
|
Talk about a failure of imagination. Was it that hard to reach a conclusion? I don't get it. Do you really expect us to believe that you don't know how to end a song creatively? It's not even all that fucking hard. Figure it out.
|
||||
36. |
|
|||
|
Explosions light up the black night. White cloud descends as the sky burns bright. Phosphorus spreads through the town uncontained. Burns through my skin, causing agonizing pain. Caramelized, leatherized, cooked alive. Everyone dies. So this is what liberation feels like.
|
||||
37. |
Flavor Of The Month
00:21
|
|
||
|
Same fucking breakdown, every fucking song, every fucking band. No intelligence, no imagination, no motivation but wealth, fame, chicks. This flavor of the month is what they're calling hardcore. I can't accept this fucking bullshit and I'm taking it back now.
|
||||
38. |
Waste
00:20
|
|
||
|
Surely there's a better use of your time than hitting the bars. Surely there's a better use of your dough than alcohol and cigarettes. All you ever do is get drunk every night. Drinking and smoking. Wasting and draining your life. I'm trying to forget I ever knew your name or saw your face.
|
||||
39. |
Sleep Like A Baby
00:10
|
|
||
|
Stick a yellow ribbon magnet on your gas-guzzling SUV. It's the very least you can do. To ease your conscience, anyway.
|

40. |
Not-So-Bullshit Attitude
00:13
|
|
||
|
I'm sick of my own stupid shit. Drag my mind out of its self-dug pit. Ready to face the day. Be myself, come what may. All I need are my tunes and my friends. Fuck the rest.
|

41. |
Extraordinary Rendition

Vaguely Arabic appearance. Detained at the airport. You've just been fucked.

Faulty black heart. For you, death is too good.

Destroying your skin. Why is it important?
|

Fuck your happiness. Why should I be happy for you? Go to fucking hell.

Dying Others' Deaths

Watching lives erode and wither away. It's not fun.

You need to be slapped in the face repeatedly.

Level 3: eternal struggle. Light speed over endless hurdles. Then there's Level 4. Hardest video game in motherfucking human history.
|

48. |
Your Crew Is Stupid
00:04
|

Fuck your pathetic crew. Try to look badass and tough. Come across looking dumb. Just another clique with no place for me.

New home with new practice space. Time for a mammoth dumpster raid. Carpet diem: seize the carpet.

Why must I always be so dumb? Why do I not fucking learn?

A world of hatred and intolerance is the goal to which you aspire. Claiming that this is what god wants, but power is what you desire. When your twisted vision meets with opposition, you complain of persecution. Such a damn hypocrite. I have to wonder if you believe your own shit. Humanity regresses under people like you. I'm not gonna join the list of tools who follow you. The shit that spills out of your mouth is god taking a dump. Your misled mind is his fecal waste and he's playing us all for chumps. A sick prank on a cosmic scale. A test for humankind to fail. You're his disgrace to the human race. This is god's joke and he laughs in our face.

Shittier Luck Next Time
01:33
|
|
||
|
It's over, you're done. Drag your ass back to your cave. You lost, you're fucked. Go the fuck home, never come back. Shut the fuck down, you fucking asshole. Never again. It's not gonna work, not anymore. We won't forget. Cynical, corrupt. It's obvious you can't get enough. Pious hypocrisy laid bare for everyone to see. Intelligent people have understood from the start that you're no good. Everyone else, they now know you can't be trusted farther than you're thrown. I realize you're stubborn as shit, but that won't matter one fucking bit. 'Cause everyone knows your shit's fucking old. Your abuse undone, receding into the past. But I know you'll be back, and I'll wish further rejection on your ass.
|
||||
63. |
|
|||
|
All you ever do is talk shit every fucking time. What the fuck's your problem anyway? You cry yourself a river, but you forget to build a bridge and get the fuck over it. To you positivity does not apply. Why can't you let the past fucking die? Why go through life always holding a grudge? Who the hell died and made you a judge? Move on. And I can't change how you choose to act. But you can't clap your hands and erase my discomfort at seeing your face, or the nervousness that I feel with every mention of your name. Try to remove the bug from your ass. Maybe then we'll finally make peace.
|
||||
64. |
|
|||
|
Officially sanctioned hatred and fear. No bastion of tolerance here. The votes are in: no equal rights for so-called "sodomites." Watching my neighbors' cheerful embrace of subpar intellect with a straight face. Feeling embarrassed, feeling ashamed, but still confused just the same. Why the fuck are you so scared? Jesus god, it's the 21st century. Take some free advice and chill the fuck out already. Is it so hard to respect others who aren't just like you? I hope you will live to regret what you've put gays through. There's no reason to be scared. Live your life, let them live theirs. Go to sleep with conscience clear. Awake to find the world's still here.

Anytown USA
03:08
|
|
||
|
Rise and shine one more time. Today's commute to work could be your very last, as a roadside bomb explodes and you're caught in the blast, shrapnel tearing through your face and limbs. Time for bed. Rest your head. Tonight could be the night a death squad comes for you, inflicting pain and torture until your life is through, leaving behind your decapitated body. Bury your bullet-ridden child's remains in the yard. Traveling safely to the morgue is too fucking hard. How much terror can one learn to disregard? Such is life, day by day, just like Anytown, USA.
|
||||
66. |
Not For Babies
00:34
|
|
||
|
Fuck off if you can't hang. Stick with something safe. Go back to your textbook breakdowns, mid-tempo double bass, chugga-chug bullshit. We'll play hardcore our way. If you think the brutality and intensity of hardcore ends with Throwdown, better think again. Listen to "No Man's Slave" and tell me that Every Time I Die isn't fucking weak.
|
||||
67. |
Swallowed
00:39
|
|
||
|
Beset by so much bullshit that I gotta do. If it's not one thing it's another. Brain has no more room. Eaten alive. Swallowed whole. Motivation vaporized. Paralyzed, slipped into a vegetative state. My hard drive has frozen up. Can't concentrate. Step away. Clear my head. Collect my thoughts and organize. Take one step at a time.
|
||||
68. |
Now And Forever
00:09
|

I'm gonna throw people's stupid beliefs in their face like a bag of poop.
|

Speed Of Armageddon
00:16
|
|
||
|
Christianist government. Violent aims fan the flames. Accelerate rapture-state. Soon to be World War 3.
|
||||
70. |
Telecom Amnesty
00:44
|
|
||
|
Spying on Americans through telecom companies. Government breaks the law then tries to change the legality. "The telecoms did nothing wrong. They did what they were told by us, so let these corporate patriots off the hook." Seeking amnesty for these duty-bound companies, so the public never learns the true depths of their sleaze. As they protect surveillance state, the founding fathers turn in graves. How can the Constitution ever be saved?
|
||||
71. |
Archaic Technologies
00:10
|
|
||
|
Far past time to harness alternative energy sources. Thwarted by the oil industry. How to escape from their clutches?
|
||||
72. |
Carnies
01:21
|
|
||
|
Trying to build theocracy, but not to save humanity. Lust for power, nothing more. Invoking Jesus to build an empire on the shoulders of the faithful. No better than radical Islam. Destroying America from within.
