Tell me why?
Why are they always pushing me
Block my vision so I can't see
Hold me down while they grind on me
Mind your own just let me be
Corporate men bankers and friends
Laugh as they play monopoly
Puppets and pawns set up the scene
fronting a false reality
Media hype runs down a pipe
People believing what they say
Closer to you ever could see
Yeah, but it seems so far away
Watch your mouth mind your speech
Be aware stay on your feet
Try to run get you when you're weak
Why are they always hounding me?
Why, tell me why
Mothers crying sons are dying
Sounds of weapons bullets flying
Never giving always taking
Filled with lies always faking
Never caring and never sharing
Always rough and overbearing
Why do you want to fight with me?
Tell me why
Sell them tractors and give them seeds
Help them boost their economies
Let them up hear their pleas
Mind your own just set them free
Corporate man bankers and friends
Thinking they can run the show
Never think you ever could see
Yeah its closer than you know

The Circle Jerks sono un gruppo hardcore punk statunitense formatosi alla fine degli anni '70 ad Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles. Fondati dall'ex cantante dei Black Flag Keith Morris, il gruppo ha rapidamente conquistato la scena californiana e le radio alternative grazie al suo nichilismo ironico e alla vitalità delle sue performance live, spesso caratterizzate da violenza esplosiva. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "I Don't Care", "Wild in the Streets" e "Golden Brown". L'album di debutto, "Group Sex", del 1980, è considerato un classico del genere hardcore punk. The Circle Jerks hanno influenzato numerose band successive e continuano ad essere attivi anche oggi.
