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.

Speedholes

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Speedholes has been performed at 53 shows and appears on Split 7″ w/ Grim Statistic

Lyrics

Blasting, shredding, ripping, tearing. There's no reason for the season. In and of itself. Three assholes playing too fast. There's no point except to blast. Reckless, mindless violence. Just go fast and fast.

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.

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.

We’re Stupid

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

We’re Stupid has been performed at 58 shows and appears on Potrzebie 9″

Lyrics

Holding ourselves hostage. We live our lives in chains. We know we have the key, but we flush it down the drain. Selfish and stupid. Too self-absorbed to get off our phones. Time is running out for us. The world is dying. The situation, mortifying. Everybody knows what needs to be done. We've just chosen not to do it. It's just not worth the inconvenience.

Consider You Done

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Consider You Done has been performed at 55 shows and appears on Potrzebie 9″

Lyrics

You fail to impress with your snarky smug self-righteousness. Like you really know better than anyone. I never want to agree with anything you say or be on your side. You: dumb. Your tendency towards needless hyperbole makes me tune you out so easily. If you told me I was going to hell, and I wouldn't have to see you there? Sign me the fuck up.

Congratulations

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Congratulations has been performed at 70 shows and appears on Potrzebie 9″

Lyrics

Congratulations. You have become what you hate. Ignore your own mistakes. Use your victimhood to pay it forward. Twisted and consumed. You can justify it any way you want, but you might just be an asshole. That's your choice. That's a choice you make.

The Old Cold Terrible Truth

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Dustin/Mike

The Old Cold Terrible Truth has been performed at 6 shows and appears on Potrzebie 9″

Lyrics

Spider next to you on the wall. Kill it! Grab the nearest shoe and grind it into dust. Did you spare a thought for the spider's soul? Or that of the dog whose remains lie in the road? You could care less where they go. It's never occurred to you before. What about the soldier hit by an IED, reduced to a pile of limbs and guts rotting in the street? What makes we humans so special that only we could reach an afterlife? Understand that I want so badly to believe, but the faith to which you cling strikes me as absurd. I can't pretend to understand the universe, but I can't bring myself to believe in fairytales, either. Don't expect to register a thing beyond your final breath. You had no consciousness before birth. What makes you think you'll have it in death? Better resolve to get it all in. Live your best life while you still can. You were nothing before you lived, and when you die you will become nothing.

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.

When Dunning Met Kruger

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

When Dunning Met Kruger has been performed at 38 shows and has never been officially recorded and released.

Lyrics

Nothing gets by you, it seems. Smash those libtard commie dreams. You have grasped what most could not: it's all a twisted government plot. None shall pass. Fuck a mask. No need to even ask. Liberty just for me. I must strive to be free from your conspiracy. As the count grows, you can't look past your nose. It's all lies. News faked to make us quake with fear. Now you've really screwed the pooch, and all your friends and neighbors too. And with your final gasping breath, you swear that this just can't be true. Lots of time down in hell to realize you played yourself.

Carnies

Lyrics by Mike, Music by Mike

Carnies has been performed at 122 shows and appears on Full Spectrum Dominance 2005-08, Split 7″ w/ Dead Stare, and Show Us The Meaning Of Haste

Lyrics

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.
