Poser

Think you're different, pretend you're bad
Think you're edgy, you're so sad
Anti-corporate, anti-greed
You prop up both with whiney need

Want handouts?
cause you're a poser
Try to stand out
cause you're a poser
you lean left
cause you're a poser
you're not a punk
you fucking poser

Support big unions and their greed
Spit talking points for going green
Hate on people that succeed
You're just a hipster wannabe

Want handouts?
cause you're a poser
Try to stand out
cause you're a poser
you lean left
cause you're a poser
you're not a punk
you fucking poser

You can't speak truth to power
when you're the one that's in power
You tell me you believe in hope
Anarchist?  What a joke

Want handouts?
cause you're a poser
Try to stand out
cause you're a poser
you lean left
cause you're a poser
you're not a punk
you fucking poser

*Recording Details: After buying a cheap Estaban G-10 practice amp, I decided to record all the punk rock songs that weren't attached to my Anti-Social(ist) playlist with the amp.  I used my Heil PR-20 to record the amp in Ardour through my M-Audio Fast Track.  I never even reached 1 on the volume and recorded it fairly quietly.  I'm pretty happy how it turned out.  I wanted a sort of tinnish overdrive for the mid-80's punk sound.  I recorded vocals with my Heil PR-20, using my car as a vocal booth.  I recorded bass through my Multi Track into Ardour.   I redid the drums in Hydrogen, mostly using the standard kit with a few exceptions. 

Just Scratching the Surface

Supported and expanded Bush's unconstitutional Patriot Act.  And then had four US citizens killed without judicial process.

Ordered private company, Boeing, to shut down and then fire 1,000 non-union employees.

Was fast and furious to put guns into criminal hands, ending in the murder of US Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry.

Fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin for discovering his friend, mayor Kevin Johnson, had embezzled government funds.

Gave tax dollars to campaign contributors and lobbyists claiming it was for 'green energy', and rewarded others with high paying federal jobs.

Had armed SWAT agents raid a law-abiding guitar factory, Gibson, because it was owned by a Republican.

Forced banks to give mortgages to people who couldn't afford them, and collected $23,000 in legal fees for himself for doing so.

Ordered military to stand down while Benghazi consulate was under attack, resulting in 4 American deaths that could've been prevented.

We voted for death by hope.

(Just think, that clock was $10 trillion when Obama took office... a number he said was irresponsible and unpatriotic.  What does that make the current number?)

Lost

Why
Would
You

Why would you do the things you do?
When you know it's bad for you?
Refuse to fix youself and mend
The wedge between family and friends
You can run but can't change your past
How long do you think you'll really last?
This is what happens when you mix up love and lust

Lying Liar Who Lies

You turn to me when I say to you
And try to tell you that I'll be true
You left me without a goodbye
Told friends I left you alone to cry
Now all my friends are mad at me
Even though you're the one who left me
It was hard enough when you hurt my pride
But why'd you go and make up lies?

A lying liar who lies
A lying liar who lies
A lying liar who lies
A lying liar who lies

So I moved away, and I moved along
Even though I was the one who was wronged
Found new friends and a new place
My heart was healing, life was great
I picked up, started over again
Then you contacted my new friends
Made up more lies about me
What's your problem?! You left me!

A lying liar who lies
A lying liar who lies
You're a lying liar who lies
A lying liar who lies

The Only Easy Day

It's the tough times (It's the tough lives)
It's the rough times (It's the rough lives)
That make you who you are
Strengthen you inside
It's the hard choices, impossible choices
That define you even when you're lost inside
It's your actions that make you are
Life's about what you can shoulder
Not what's 'fair' or 'right'
It's integrity that drives you onward
Problems are only passing if you keep your goals in sight

Cause the only easy day was yesterday
When the clouds are forming and the skies turn gray
To face the coming storm, you must be brave
Cause the the only easy day was yesterday
The only easy day was yesterday
When the clouds are forming and the skies turn gray
To face the coming storm, you must be brave
Cause the the only easy day was yesterday

Life is hard (so fucking hard)
And getting harder
Because we as people are now broken in every way
That's how they want us
Groveling on our knees
No will left to fight
Just begging for release

The excuses you use to hold yourself back
are all of your own design
 To set yourself free, you have to face your fears
It's ok to fail from time to time
 Pick yourself up, brush yourself off
That's what sets people apart from sheep
Life has no safety nets, there are no life lines
Just you, your will, your heartbeat

 To fix your life
You have to make a choice
To embrace the struggle
And live with the pain
To no longer sit down
To give the voiceless voice
To do the right thing
And go against the grain

Cause the only easy day was yesterday
When the clouds are forming and the skies turn gray
To face the coming storm, you must be brave
Cause the the only easy day was yesterday
The only easy day was yesterday
When the clouds are forming and the skies turn gray
To face the coming storm, you must be brave
Cause the the only easy day was yesterday

The excuses you use to hold yourself back
are all of your own design
 To set yourself free, you have to face your fears
It's ok to fail from time to time
 Pick yourself up, brush yourself off
That's what sets people apart from sheep
Life has no safety nets, there are no life lines
Just you, your will, your heartbeat

The only
easy day
was
yesterday
The only
easy day
was
yesterday

Roam

 As I make it through each day
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...
Questions linger in this way
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...

What is it in me that just can't seem to find peace and rest?
Why is it I dream of moving and moving
I just can't be content

Am I just a man without a home?
Am I doomed to walk this path forever alone?

I was born roam
I was born roam

Man with no home
Man with no home
Man with no home
Man with no home

I always tell myself I'm free
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...
But if that's true, why do I repeat
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...


What is it in me that just can't seem to find peace and rest?
Why is it I dream of moving and moving
I just can't be content

Am I just a man without a home?
Am I doomed to walk this path forever alone?

I was born roam
I was born roam
 Man with no home
 Man with no home

There's always reasons not to stay
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...
But I can't tell if I'm running away
 Will I stay, will I stay, will I...

 What is it in me that just can't seem to find peace and rest?
Why is it I dream of moving and moving
I just can't be content

I was born to roam
I was born to roam
Man with no home
I was born to roam
