lyrics

Exit Rhymes: 

I'm paralyzed by pointless options,  
Take them away.
The queues all cleared, confetti burning,  
And we're tuning in. 

Carve my country into conquerable bits, 
In these lofty ranks the boldest cowards win.
So many upturned palms,
Just a target for the bombs,
Side of the dial will determine who's let in. 

Who's looking out for empty wallets? 
How far they fall? Who cares at all? 
How blind's the eye that caught us looking? 
Is there mercy in these wheels in motion?

Drop the needle on the Martyrs greatest hits, 
Off with his head, 
there's no way we can dance to this,
The people's choice, 
a staccato robot voice, 
Saying , "Party 'til the payday loans begin ." 

No use in staring down
the watch that's been unwound, 
It's all how you adapt 
to the evolving traps they lay down, 
I like to spend my nights
just hanging with my friends, 
We were so pleased and howling
breathing life into dead ends. 

Who are these people in the crowd
Are they like me?
It seems impossible to see eye to eye, you'd think,
With so many paths
to stumble down you have to ask, 
How insurmountable to budge even one belief?

Somebody stop me now, 
I fear my gears are grinding down,
The work week never ends
 until you die right at your desk, 
I'll wait for the big change, 
No, you go first, I insist....
If it all goes well 
I'll buy that life on my wishlist...

"Like all those bands that broke the mold back in the day like Stiff Little Fingers, X, Lena Lovich, and the Runaways, TA-80 have that vibe ... You’re drawn immediately (and) unable to separate unless an outside force is applied. jerseybeat.com," ... more
