Fresh Hell

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Fresh Hell has been performed at 168 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

Child exploitation. Suppression of women. Death and starvation. Roadside explosions. People living a fresh hell every day. A world away, in my life of comfort, I sit here trying and failing to imagine waking up to a fresh hell every day. World of violence cries for assistance. But the 'help' they're getting is worse than nothing.

A Little Scratch

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

A Little Scratch has been performed at 41 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

I do this for me, because I must. I put a lot of dough into this. Where do you think it all comes from? I entertain you, you pay for it. You're not entitled to it. Where did this attitude come from, that music should be free? It's not, for me. A little scratch for my trouble would be nice.

Barf At The Moon

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Barf At The Moon has been performed at 60 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

Ghosts of a dim distant past catching up with you at last. Surrounding you from all sides. Nowhere left to run and hide. Gaps in what you say and do coming back and haunting you. People that you once had fucked have returned to make life suck. Barf at the moon. Spoken too soon. Distant past haunts your ass.

Tribalistic Horseshit

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Tribalistic Horseshit has been performed at 40 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

You don't care what happens to real people. All you care about is that your team wins. As long as the tribe has first-class status, someone else can pay for your sins. Winners get the spoils. Losers get fucked. This isn't a game, fuckface.

Fuck An Apology

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Fuck An Apology has been performed at 76 shows and appears on Fastcore Forever and Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

So many pegs, so many different shapes slammed into the same round holes. The golden rule is irrelevant here. We're all bred into a culture of fear. So fuck an apology. Their approval means nothing to me. We're all the same when we close our eyes. There's no reason to apologize for who you are. So fuck an apology. Live your life like it was meant to be. Sooner or later they'll recognize there's no reason to apologize for who you are.

In A World Without Hashtags

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Justin/Mike/Patrick

In A World Without Hashtags has been performed at 33 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

Suppose one day some kinda mammoth electromagnetic pulse or other anomaly knocked out communication hubs all over the entire planet. No cell service. No worldwide web. No social media. What would we do without the distractions keeping our eyes fixed to tiny screens? Would the sudden loss of attachment blow our minds to smithereens? No text messaging. No fuckin' Candy Crush. Is it too much to ask to get back in touch with our fellow human beings and actually look each other in the face? What if we had to engage each other, talk to each other? Would we break the hold our phones have on our lives, or stand stock still until we starved and died?

Where’s The Fun?

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Where’s The Fun? has been performed at 302 shows and appears on s/t demo, Diagnosis: Delicious 7″, Full Spectrum Dominance 2005-08, and Live KRBX 2013

Lyrics

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

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

It’s All You has been performed at 302 shows and appears on s/t demo, Diagnosis: Delicious 7″, Full Spectrum Dominance 2005-08, and Live KRBX 2013

Lyrics

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.

Wreck Your Future

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Wreck Your Future has been performed at 7 shows and appears on Fastcore Forever

Lyrics

Politicians pandering to your sense of nostalgia, promising a return to "the way things used to be." Back to a time before those goddamned commie liberals flushed this country down the toilet. Well the "good old days" were never that great, and the world you remember never existed. But you're so desperate for an easy solution that your brain begs to differ. All too happy to vote the same assholes into power again, ensuring that nothing changes and the cycle of shit never ends. Invent your past and wreck your future.
