On The Counter
Step on the gas or you’ll lose it
Cover your ass and reuse it
The vain and the proud will abuse it
Some other guy beat you to it
I’m on the counter and counted this time
Say you’re gonna use it
You know you’ll just abuse it
Some of us will lose it this time
Get on the top of elusive
Abra cadab the abuses
Stand at the door of excuses
Hell of a time just to lose it
Say you’re gonna use it
You know you’ll just abuse it
Some of use will lose it
Banned if you choose it

The Punk Setup

(here we envy the oldest trick in the book…the punk setup)
It’s written then set into stone
They bought it. Come out all alone
It’s rotten but count it for sale
And later go count it for bail
They got all the paint off the door
But what for?
And they go all the way
To the mountains to play
The Punk Set Up
It ain’t worth it to say
When they’ll just find a way.
The Punk Set Up
Go fire the cannons on em x4
And they go all the way
To the mountains to play
The Punk Set Up
It ain’t worth it to say
When they’ll just find a way
The Punk Set Up
All they wanted was more
Til they couldnt find the door
The Punk Set Up
Now. They just want to say
That they stripped all the paint
The Punk Set Up

Hey who let the garter snakes in here?
Been living with the garters far too long
Don’t know to fight when something’s wrong
The best deed is to throw it away
Maybe somewhere there’s a better day
Been livin with the garters much too long
Do tell when something’s wrong

Claws Break Down

Yea you’ll catch it someday
But I won’t get caught
I bet the timings costly
But my time wont cost
They’re stuck on us but the claws break down
I get a private sully
To them yer the boss
When you take a walk on a sunday
You know you gotta run from the start
Now I can’t imagine the Tuesdays and Wednesdays
The Thursdays, the Fridays and Saturdays

Look at the place
Look at the walls
Down on your face
Out in the hall
You can’t even wait
Til your numbers called
Cos every young country’s bound to fall
Get to the station
Climb all the walls
Down on the pavement
Better stay tall
The run of the bulls
Ain’t nothin at all
Cos every young country’s bound to fall
Pallet up. Break down. Its side to side. Lost crown
The better the taste
The faster they fall
The common mistake is
They never stood tall for you
I’ll write calm on the battled wall
Cos every young country’s bound to fall
Gonna learn to fall on the 9 to 5
Gonna learn to fall on a late night drive
Learn to fall on the Hollywood scenes
Learn to fall on the card that reads
“FALL!”

Makin’ it all settle down
We can’t all wear the captains crown
They’re gonna stomp on my throat
On their climb to the steep throne
Hands will shake at the carnival
Settle the deal on the 18th hole
The mess ignored on aisle 3
Is it really getting ya down?

They’re running outta plastic
Yea the plastic’s fallin off
Until it all collapses
The plan is called off
Every time you look up
They go down under the way out
Commie Klara,her comma ,correct all along.
Commie Klara the source you collect is all wrong
Commie Klara could see
And with the fire reichstag
Die_Gleichheit saw it all
Is still a current tactic
The best stats sawed off
Die Gleichheit could read
And bury it down under the sea

Babylon Gone

|

|
Gimmie your home, ballots and bones
Babylon gone
Radio songs balance their funds
Babylon gone
In this culture of a headache
And the cost of the pathetic
Go write your own song!
A Perm and decay on cross colored stain
I wanna see something better
Bitter the taste of the laws that we break To the letter
Throw me away like the trash from today
Cos I wanna be something better
Bitter the taste from the verse that we take to the letter
Go write your own song!

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!!

This record was announced for release when I was sick with Covid. X ,always has a special place in my heart since late 70’s early 80’s. It just made my day!! Especially the song I gotta fever!!

Gutsy rock & roll from this Brooklyn group bursting with hot-rodding riffs and snarling vocals, hearkening back to classic dark punk.
