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.

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.

Rips

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Rips has been performed at 95 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

See your face, turn my back. There's no doubt about it. Fuck off all poser shit. We only play stuff that rips. Pose in hell forever. That's all there is to it.

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.

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.

Science Party

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Science Party has been performed at 29 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

Throw the government out on its ass. Replace it with a televised science class. Anti-intellectualism must die. We all know that it's our fatal flaw. No choice left for us but to enshrine the scientific method into law. The party of science is the only way. The only party with which I can identify. Neil deGrasse Tyson for prez, with Bill Nye his running mate. Or non-dudes would be fine too. So we can run this country based on fucking facts.

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.

2 Fast 2 Furious 2: Back 2 Tha Future Part II

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Justin/Mike

2 Fast 2 Furious 2: Back 2 Tha Future Part II has been performed at 89 shows and appears on Fastcore Forever

Lyrics

Rise and shine and it's off to work. Then go home, go in the jam room and blow off steam. Go to bed, try to sleep. Repeat ad infinitum. And the next thing I know, another year has gone by. Days go by. Days turn weeks. Weeks go by. How was your day? It was ok. How's your weekend? Keep on waiting. I got no plans. Always waiting for shit to happen. I forgot what I was waiting for. Caught between the jam room and the production room. And the next thing I know, 15 years have gone by. Weeks turn months. Months go by. Months turn years. Years go by. Life goes by. Then we die.

Running Shart

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Dustin/Joe/Mike

Running Shart has been performed at 73 shows and appears on Running Shart

Lyrics

Snow falls in the high desert. Mid-February, no signs of stopping. Cue some middle-aged red hat jackass: "What has happened to global warming? All those scientists trying to explain this shit? Clearly bought off by the fucking socialists." Earth is far more vast than what your puny eyeballs show. You can put your head in the sand and ignore every superstorm, polar vortex and mudslide. Our actions are having an effect. If we can't change our habits, I'll meet you at the water wars and I'll kill you myself.

Incontinence

Originally by Capitalist Casualties

Incontinence has been performed at 12 shows and appears on A Tribute To Capitalist Casualties

Notes: Listen to Capitalist Casualties "Dark Circle" EP or "1996-99: Years In Ruin" CD.

Casual Stupidity

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Casual Stupidity has been performed at 47 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

Some people actually try to think before they speak. You can't wait to show people how stupid you are. Casual stupidity proudly on display. Lack of validity all day, every day. Some realize their faults and try to improve on them. All you ever seem to wanna do is amplify them. Learning and listening? Not you, no sir. Much more fun to be a fucking loser.

Ten Deep Breaths

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Ten Deep Breaths has been performed at 76 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques

Lyrics

Desperate to escape hell on earth, a fucking nightmare. Endless invasive questions. Vetting procedures are plenty extreme. Life on fucking hold for months and years spent in camps, waiting for the fucking light to turn green. You really think a terrorist act would be worth going through all that shit? The last thing they need is for you to go around huffin' and puffin' and blowin' their house down. Leave them the fuck alone.

Holy Fetus

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Holy Fetus has been performed at 27 shows and appears on Skullvalanche and Live KRBX 2013

Lyrics

Your intention is to strip basic preventative care and family planning services from women such as yourself. You think you're protecting life. You are not protecting shit. Only making things worse for the cause of women's rights. Have you ever worn the shoes of unintended pregnancy? Have you ever felt the lump of terror on your breast? You are fucking services you would gladly utilize if you ever found yourself with no other health-care choice. Have you ever felt the sores of shame upon your genitals? Use your vote to elevate the fetus to a holy state. It's the ranks of those alive who could be sentenced to die. Pat yourself on the back. You're the last line of defense. You'll use this service but you'll deny it to others. You don't get to do that, you hypocritical fuck. It doesn't work like that, you selfish fucking asshole. Women die because of your "special" attitude. You're the one who should be rotting in your grave.

Carpet Diem

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Carpet Diem has been performed at 111 shows and appears on Goatmeal 5″, Full Spectrum Dominance 2005-08, Live KRBX 2013, and Split 6″ w/ Crossed Comment

Lyrics

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