Older people I looked up to now just seem so lame
Their idealism is gone just like "the old days"
Burnt out and jaded, their old spirit faded
I hope that in a few years I don't feel the same way...
As we get older new faces appear every day
Do you have any idea of the direction of things to come
Where are we gonna go from here?
I've always felt music was something to believe in
I've always wanted more than just a "scene"
Like any other social group that we outgrow in time
Growing up and moving on and leaving it behind...
But sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time
Year after year towing the line
On this same scene and this same dream
And I try to be pessimistic but I just can't change my mind
The lyrics THE DIRECTION OF THINGS TO COME of CRIMPSHRINE is also present in the album The sound of a new world being born (1998)
Crimpshrine è stata una band punk rock proveniente da Berkeley, California. Formata nel 1982 da Aaron Cometbus, fondatore del celebre fanzine punk Cometbus, e dal suo amico Jeff Ott, il gruppo ha rapidamente guadagnato un seguito all'interno delle comunità DIY. Considerati uno dei gruppi punk più importanti, soprattutto nella scena della Bay Area, Crimpshrine è noto per la sua musica cruda e potente, influenzata da band come Black Flag e The Minutemen. Il loro sound si caratterizza per riff di chitarra distorti, batteria aggressiva e testi politici e introspettivi. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "The Last Time", "I Don't Care" e "No More Heroes". Crimpshrine ha pubblicato diversi album in vinile, tra cui l'album di debutto omonimo del 1984 e il seguito "Live at the Gilman Street Project" del 1985. La band si è sciolta nel 1987, ma la sua influenza sul panorama punk rimane evidente.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
