Oddities, abnormalities, & curiosities

1995

Sinking ship


Smut peddling cannibals hang at public urinals
mister wanna buy a watch? leafy catnip tar some rock
skid marked asphalt or a pair of dirty socks!

everything is up for sale
but never any bargains
on vacation out to lunch
nervous smokers got the jitters

coffee stains and shell shocked vets
child molesting paranoid pimps
crooked cops and the dog keeps chasing itself
this cycle never stops
cycle never stops
cycle never stops.. helplessness

street signs read anywhere anytime
can you stop the bus
this is where i wanna get off
confronted by trendy chic hipsters
treading like hamsters
and tires keep turning
rubber's burning
attached to motors
no one's learning
well me hell i'm always looking for
an exit sign
so i can get out
the easy way out
so i can find some peace of brain or a comfortable ride
a cool place to hide
or a get rich quick scheme
a scapegoat or an excuse without any loopholes
so i won't trip or hang myself

something ugly settles
as if i'm heavy or short on breath
a feeling of helplessness
a feeling of helplessness
a feeling of helplessness

when i keep hearing their jibberish
vote no on yes
don't panic this is only a test
don't panic this is only a test
don't panic this is only a test
don't panic this is only a test

all those unfortunates caught in bad circumstances
lesbian skinheads who think they're in love
computer programmers owning nervous disorders
and a few sexual fantasies
only running on half filled tanks
half filled tanks
half filled tanks
half filled tanks
who will stand on the deck
on the deck? of a sinking ship...
helplessness
helplessness
helplessness
helplessness

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Circle Jerks are an American hardcore punk band formed in late 1970s in Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles. Founded by former Black Flag vocalist Keith Morris, the group quickly gained popularity in the Californian scene and on alternative radio thanks to their nihilistic irony and energetic live performances, often marked by explosive violence. Among their most representative songs are "I Don't Care", "Wild in the Streets" and "Golden Brown". Their debut album, "Group Sex", released in 1980, is considered a classic of the hardcore punk genre. The Circle Jerks have influenced numerous subsequent bands and continue to be active today.
