lyrics

the demons don't live inside of me
they've got a lovely prewar co-op down the street
the board must be other demons apparently
their references must be other demons

i remember when the leather cracked
i remember when they shot lincoln
who taught the idiots the word "respect"?
whose idea to get em thinking?

i don't play bridge but the ghouls really hold their own
i see em at the playground sometimes making fun of my kids for the way they look and dress and then they smoke cigarettes

i remember when the leather cracked
i remember when they shot lincoln
who taught the idiots the word "respect"?
whose idea to get em thinking?

came from tomfoolery
led to tomdrunkery
which made men of you me
we operated the heaviest machinery

You say the market's fucked
but who gives a fuck about the market?
we laid down all the gas
and all you did was spark it
you're batting from leftfield
the iron age and a four course meal

i remember when the leather cracked
i remember when they shot lincoln
who taught the idiots the word "respect"?
whose idea to get em thinking?

came from tomfoolery
led to tomdrunkery
which made men of you me
we operated the heaviest machinery

hold our breath til we all fall down

you were too kind
you never asked much
coddled and spared
had a soft touch
good men don't speak up
and the worst need constant attention

hold our breath til we all fall down...

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
