lyrics

when my shades are left open the cold creeps in
when i dye the wool at night the sheep seep in
distrust for the pantry and your fingerless gloves
a meet and greet with the lost above

precariously perched, slowed to a crawl
the end of a velvet rope, where's the wherewithal?
en vogue & been around the block
get up at 5am and punch the clock

take it back
and pay it fashion-forward
you add the interest
to what you owe her
you pull the shades down
you get the expectations up
don't leave those fast food values in the pickup/Ricky's truck

rough trade in puns and absolutes
secondhand funny cars and champagne flutes
i grew stronger within the bricks
and smiled wider when i got sick
we cut profits when we cut costs
and added value to the trash we tossed

take it back…

relentless
ambitious
contentious
auspicious
the day is gone...
but the lights are on

the dj samples original sin
dogs bark at the ark & the bigger beast within
got confused from the turpentine
so just park the car and pay the fine
we’ll play together then we’ll play the fool
paddles on friday, saturday’s for shul

take it back…

Family Fun

Family Fun is equal parts punk rock n' roll and nothing. A refreshingly haphazard, multi-lensed beast drawing upon influences musical, historical, comical, and sexual. Hardcore threaded with the theatrical, punk rock peppered with proud pop insensibilities, draws fervently from a gorge of culture and history whether it be Born Against, Dinosaur Jr., Agnostic Front, ELO, Iggy Pop, or Joan Rivers. ... more
