Whiskey Business It’s two o’clock in the morning bar time is finally here The bartender is sweeping up the room is finally clear So I mumble a last, “I love you man, From the bottom of my heart, Good luck wih you and your woman, Because hell is being apart, You got to stick with her through both thick and thin Those lonely nights apart are what will do you in.” He stops sweeping for a half-hearted wave In the direction of my back As I head out the door fresh air in my face A spring in my step as I walk through the black CH: Because drunks always talk honest Drunks will always be true They’ll pour their heart out in a torrent of love And expect the same from you Talking at a late night party now there’s two empty kegs of beer Politics becomes philosophy as the liquor store draws near “I don’t judge people before I know them Treat me with respect and I’ll do the same Under the skin we all bleed and breathe” As I struggle to maintain “It’s all about how you deal with others Not how many toys you collect in this life” We stagger our way together Leaning on ourselves to stay upright “It’s the man who keeps us down but I know we can unite It’s the man that keeps us divided, he’s who we gotta fight!”

about

Second full-length from Jesse Luscious (Blatz, Gr’ups, Frisk), Mike Sexxx (Frisk), Brady (Aborted, Black Cat Music), and Julie Thorn (Hi-Fives, Red#9, Clay Wheels)! Thirteen riot-ready songs of ripping, against-it punk rock from these East Bay shit-stirrers. Totally loud, ultimately angry, and unusually fucked.

This was originally released on LP & CD on Adeline Records.
