| You Fucking Square Your average hardcore kid's your average Christian You know you're full of shit if you think there's a difference On sure, they might have scary looking tattoos But when you talk to them you get society's attitude How's your webpage doing/you fucking square(x2) Dormlife can be so grueling/you fucking square You can't wait to vote/You fucking square(x2) You think I'm the joke?/ You fucking SQUARE! You're why hardcore's not as fun as it should be, you fucking square Y'know, I'm not that radical of a guy. I consider my self pretty straight laced in most aspects, but some of the kids who call themselves punk, man! I mean, if you're a straight, a square, a bore, whatever, but it's just frustrating to see kids who're interested in Ally McBeal, or Hurley clothing, or whatever fucking pop culture bullshit involved in something I really care about, namely hardcore. OFF SQUARES! Polished Hardcore Attitude Sucks (sarcastic heavy metal posturing) $16.00 CDs/Nothing to offer me 21+ shows/where only boneheads go You got that air of shitty beer and pretension Which I could excuse if your music could keep my attention (more tongue-in-cheek pseudo-metal poppycock) In all honesty, I don't really mind metal's stupidity So long as it remains autonomous from our scene Metal attitude still sucks/ your music's played just for bucks It's like Crossover phase II/ Your pedals suck and so do you Okay, so these cats write this CHEEESY-ass metal song, right, with like, this total "chugga-chugga" part that's completely fucking ridiculous. The fast parts are cool, though, so taking a cue from the song structure of AOD's "Trans-Am", and Scooter X's "Speed Metal Rules" (obscure enough for ya?) I had to write, like, my 3rd or 4th song about how much metal sucks?Seriously, though, fuck Dilinger Escape Plan, and all their ilk. If you think that shit's not gonna sound completely fucking cheesy and dated in five years (as if it's not bad enough already), you're in for a serious shock, pal. Fuck the Plastic Badge Another fucking instance/ of an asshole security pig If the subject seems repetitious/ it's 'cause the problem still exists I might say it's an example of too much authority But you have none in all actuality Maybe if you had a gun instead of pepper spray I'd be dead not If I only could stay/ angry as I am right now I could formulate/ a plan to get you back somehow On one of my many trips to the wonderful land of no toilets (trust me, that's a myth) Oxnard, CA, I was trying to get some writing done on one of their parks by the beach at 3:00, or 4:00 in the morning. A security guard informs me that I was on private property, and I needed to leave. I told him that the sign in front said it was a public park, and that there was no way it was private property, and he had no right to kick me out. He then told me that the spot I was at was reserved for the next morning. I told him that I had no intention of staying that long and just needed to get some writing done. He told me I had to leave anyway. I calmly pointed out the fact that he was a complete fucking asshole. Not very pleased, he said, and I quote, "Let's go motherfucker!", and threw down his flashlight and "gear" in an attempt to engage me in a fight. After asking whether or not we were in middle school, he collected his gear, and told me that if I didn't leave right then that he would pepper spray me "right in the face". I told him that he wouldn't, because there was no reason for him to, and he proved me wrong. After cussing a lot and washing my eyes out in a sprinkler for 15 minutes, and then listening to MDC for a while, I wrote this song, 5:00am, in the parking lot of the Oxnard 99 cent only store. Very true story. Yeah, yeah, I should have sued the fucking pig, or whatever, but hey, my sense of justice and revenge is outweighed only by my overwhelming laziness. That's life. Nailed To The Y (Chromosome) My whole life I've been told how men are to act in society Then I look in my heart and cant help but think they lied to me I acknowledge all the problems for which my gender's to blame But as I never have or will contribute to them why should I feel shame? Media's male is a lie/and as men we have to try The best we cant to breakaway/ and not live up to how we're pertrayed And really that's all we can do/ to stop these fucked up attitudes We live in a society where the word masculine is associated with oppression, victimization, and emotionless ignorance. I will not deny that we live in a patriarchy, and that yes, historically and presently men are the main perpetuators of said patriarchy, yet I refuse to bear the sins of my gender as a whole. I refuse to accept the role of deadbeat dad, rapist, or Al fucking Bundy. I am a male, and I will live my life striving to be the most positive male I can be. As if the lyrics aren't clear enough, essentially I feel the true masculine and feminine qualities of a person are always beautiful, and will always be compatable, but when one allows media, or tradition to dictate to them what their masculinity, or femininity really means, a sort of static is created, and that's where schism between the sexes occurs. The problem I find with a lot of theories regarding the sexes is that all to often they demonize masculinity, or femininity itself, when they should be discussing the effect of pseudo-masculinity, and pseudo-femininity, that is to say the gender roles which are marketed to us as a society. Example: In high school I fucking hated the idea of being a man, because I saw how most of the boys who were my peers treated women and each other, and was just fucking disgusted. I was thus disgusted with myself for being a part of that by way of sharing their genitalia. I took to denying my manhood, and would wear make-up, and act overly "effeminate", and things of that nature. Really, though, I was just playing their game by allowing them to define masculinity as being a fucking jerk, and since I was appauled by that, I acted as close as I could to THEIR definition of feminine. In retrospect I can see how I was acting like just as much of a jerk, but I pissed off some squares in the process, so I guess it's not all so bad. But anyways, don't ever let anyone define who you are, and by acting the opposite of their definition, you're still playing their fucking game. Okay, soapbox, dismounted. Move Your Feets! Think of the way we're trained to act in the system To sit back and be entertained with no interaction Squares gawk at the bands like they're a TV screen So if you don't like the ststem, you gotta move your feet ONE-respect women TWO-pogo 'til you're blue THREE-express yourself physically FOUR-leave your machismo at the door Those are the fucking rules, man! This is more than a rally to "fucking mosh" I'm as sick of that shit as you I'd just like to bring to light the cost Of standing around like your feet are glue I'm with you, this floorpunch shit has got to go But I won't stop dancing 'cause of them Physical interaction with music is crucial, y'know? And if we pogo with smiles, we will win?We'll win! A thinking man's way of saying "get up and fucking mosh!"? Maybe?. I'll tell you, I'm sick of fucking songs about "the pit", and this whole 80s revival thing isn't helping. Believe it or not, you don't have to be a fucking jerk to dance at a hc show. You don't have to run in a circle, or jump up and down, or hurt, or even come in contact with anyone. You also, however, don't need to stand with your arms crossed, only to bob your head every now and then during the breakdown. Don't let jocks ruin something that's really fun, which is dancing to punk music. Don't let 'em fool ya, it really is a blast. If you don't like how everyone else dances, do your own little jig in the corner, or don't, y'know, maybe you're just not the dancing type, nothing wrong with that, but for pete's sake, don't feel self conscious or afraid to get down however it is you get down just because you're sharing space with a bunch of lamos who don't know how to cut a rug. Oh, and above all, HAVE FUN!!!!!! |
