Fruit Roll Up

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Justin/Mike

Fruit Roll Up has been performed at 160 shows and appears on Split 7″ w/ Raid and Live KRBX 2013

Lyrics

Posing for a crew pic, looking hard as shit. But posing's all you'll ever do, and I think you know it. Sometimes I swear you're looking for a reason to be pissed. Answer slightest criticism with a bullshit threat. Face like stone, skin like paper. Skin like a fruit roll-up: easily breached, easily broken. Slide right under with any bad words spoken. Always trying to go to war, no enemies to fight against. Might as well settle for your friends.

Swallowed Be Thy Wang

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Swallowed Be Thy Wang has been performed at 42 shows and appears on Split 3″ w/ Transient and Live KRBX 2013

Notes: Song title contributed by Matt Huey

Lyrics

Change from inside will corrupt you. Change from outside will destroy you. No one's immune. We're all gonna suck. Swallowed be thy wang. Super-rich free to act with impunity. Demented thoughts and prayers. Gagging on corporate cock.

Head Full Of Shit

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Head Full Of Shit has been performed at 54 shows and appears on Fastcore Forever and Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

Head full of shit. Born with head up your ass. Better dislodge it fast. No shame in admitting you don't know everything. Grab a Q-tip. Swab it out.

Fresh Hell

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Fresh Hell has been performed at 163 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.

Thicken

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Thicken has been performed at 163 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

I'm not saying let's ignore injustice. I'm not saying let's turn a blind eye. I'm not opposed to political correctness. I'm only saying you could probably stand to have some patience. Pick your battles. Rethink the power words have over you. Thicken your skin.

Another Goddamned Week

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Another Goddamned Week has been performed at 51 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

Another week of life spent not necessarily alive. Another goddamned week of 8 to 5. The work is OK, but not so much the pay. So what is it that keeps me here? Could it be the fear of instability and inability to find something better? I spend my week worrying until Monday comes around again, and then another goddamned week begins.

Fortress Of Solid ‘Tude

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Fortress Of Solid ‘Tude has been performed at 50 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

I'm just over here doing my own thing in my self-fortress. I don't expect you to get it. Don't expect me to explain it. Sometimes it hurts when I don't get enough support, but I try not to complain. I didn't choose this path to be popular.

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 75 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?

The Terrorists Win

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

The Terrorists Win has been performed at 78 shows and appears on This Comp Kills Fascists Volume 2 2xLP and Live KRBX 2013

Lyrics

Campaign of demonization, outright lies and distortions. Women's rights not up for consideration. Violence against doctors increasing, starting with half-ass bombings, culminating in a fatal shooting. Clinic closes down. The terrorists get what they want. Pretend to condemn the violence, but quietly celebrate.

Where’s The Fun?

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Where’s The Fun? has been performed at 297 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 297 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.
