Jot down the words you wanna say
Make sure they don't conflict with mine in any way
Make them sound good
Remember the laws that apply
I gave you a buck it's my right to decide
Pretend your life is squeaky clean
Pure as the virgin you think your daughter is
She laughs in your face
As you bring your speech to a close
But she's doing it under your nose
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
You used to wear your pretty clothes
Now that the scruff is in you're bluff, what you used to know
But here come your rules
The fashion police are in
And suddenly your politics are changing again
I Idoilise and criticize
Push them in the right direction to paradise
Praise them with guilt
Distinguish the weak from the strong
But knowing that we end up the same in the long run
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
The position you have may be lost
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life (x2)
The lyrics STAND BY of DANCE HALL CRASHERS is also present in the album Honey i'm homely (1997)
Dance Hall Crashers (DHC) è una band ska punk originaria di Berkeley, California, formatasi nel 1989. Il gruppo nacque dall'idea di Matt Freeman e Tim "Lint" Armstrong, membri fondatori della leggendaria band ska-punk Operation Ivy, che desideravano dedicarsi a un progetto puramente ska. Per completare la formazione si aggiunse Erik Larsen, batterista appassionato di ska. Il nome del gruppo deriva da una canzone di una vecchia band ska giamaicana suggerita da Erik stesso. La prima formazione comprendeva Freeman, Armstrong, Joey Schaaf, Andrew Champion e Grant Mcintire (amico e occasionalmente roadie di Operation Ivy), che si occupò anche della scrittura dei testi. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo ricordiamo "The Ska Song", "Don't Let Me Down" e "I Got You Babe".
