Used to Be 02:27
you want things how they used to be it's no longer sunshine and daisies now we're all lying dying in the streets, out in the streets, dying in the streets load up your guns put up the wall you got yours now the rest of us don't even matter at all drown your sorrows in that alcohol empires all crumble and you're ready for a fall we told you to be faithful and we told you to be kind and we told you to be better but you didn't pay any mind we told you to be tolerant and we want you to be true now it's all coming back for you it's all coming back for you you want things how they used to be even if it's a physical impossibility watch what happens on your tv screens an alternative reality is all you ever see

it started with a bottle of old tommy because i only had ten bucks on me we would mix it with a bottle of squirt and we would drink til our insides hurt now i've tried everything, at least a sample it was never more than i could handle those days were the best it was midwest excess i said yes to midwest excess it used to be about the music until everything got confusing with all the drugs and boozing i might have started to lose it had so many friends but i lost them they started coming around less often they almost went forgotten til they started showing up in coffins and i must have missed the message in the middle of all the wreckage when i said yes to midwest excess i've tried everything, at least a sample midwest excess it was never more than i could handle midwest excess i still stand with a bottle in my hand i can't seem can't seem to put down i still stand with a bill and a gram i can't seem can't seem to put down now i'm here still with a fistful of pills i'm trying to choke choke, choke it down and i still feel like the king of the hill until they put me in the ground

Meth Mouth 03:39
Cold winter day, driving and waiting for the call Long drive, windshield wipers clear the raindrops as they fall Stereo broken, stuck in motion, only words I recall The consuming illusions must happen to us all When your own worst enemy lives inside your head you see The whole world in grey-scale while you watch the demons crawl The worst wound you can have is the one that doesn’t leave a bruise Thinking about the last night’s nine o clock news Latest mass shooting getting rave reviews Trend in the media commonly to abuse The power of the spotlight in order to confuse They still play to the hands with limitless greed While they pull us below in a time of need Follow the cash flow, no mystery From a bird’s eye view you can plainly see The powers-that-be grow like a disease Overlooking our boulevard of broken dreams While the whole world sleeps through the echoes of the screams, just like this - We’re staying asleep Trapped in distractions and dopamine dreams And through everything that should shake us awake We keep sleeping, keep sleeping the days away Wait, now it might be far too late To turn around and look back on the mistakes we made When history’s just an empty stage Written and erased on a faded page Every day it gets harder to separate The blurry lines between the real and the fake So fear can penetrate our hearts and our minds Keeping us blind, just a second- rewind Trying to find the source of the problem - Of course Indoctrinated hatred Another angry bigot with a gun Is a cause as well as a symptom One by one by one by one You’ve had a lot of opportunity, so much you could achieve You’ve got a lot of useless stories no one seems to believe Buried liberty in a shallow grave, wrapped in a tattered flag You’re talking heads with loaded guns - mouths overflowing with poison One by one by one by one Another venomous lie for 24 hours of attention But we’re staying asleep Trapped in distractions and dopamine dreams And through everything that should shake us awake We keep sleeping, keep sleeping the days away

Shadows on the surface as it rotates to a different state Spinning crooked on a fragile axis, a pinwheel in a strong wind Thrashing and pulling and tearing ourselves against the draw of the current Rats on a sinking ship Holding on with tooth and claw Get ready to swim The oceans are rising Everybody got the same idea Try to save your own skin Get ready to swim The oceans are rising And your lungs are filling up but You keep breathing it in Repainting the landscape in blue and grey The horizon line the same color as the end of time Concrete eroding the streets decay Stoplights, storefronts, exit ramp signs So hold me close and I will say We can watch from a safe distance But no distance is safe Under the force of the incoming tidal waves Take a deep breath, kiss me goodbye, before we’re swept away Here comes the flood

Каждый день больше похож на Deutschland 1938 Фанатики в доме заменят главу государства Демократический процесс слишком устарел Просто обманывают и откладывают, пока мы не доберемся Мы называем это страной свободы и возможностей Так пусто и так ослаблено от того, что было раньше Еще два поколения, и собирается сделать это три Полностью лишен права голоса обществом Пока ты не копаешь мою могилу (хор) Приходи копать мою могилу (x4) Два три четыре Разделение каждого выбора прямо вниз по середине Продал мою душу давно, теперь в зеркале нет отражения Криминализировать голоса несогласных, притворяться, что вы должны нам спасибо Темные доллары в банке для фашистского аналитического центра (хор) (мост) Добро пожаловать в новую антиутопию, Тюремное государство Америка Говорят, что матушка-Россия кровоточит здесь, в США, Жадности Прошло то место, где вы должны были узнать Демократия была отложена В пользу фашистского поворота Подавить протест вместе с прессой Смотреть все золотые мосты горят Зажечь огни партизанской ярости Холодная война на экономической арене Клетки для иммигрантов Живой конец здравого смысла Можешь ли ты все еще жить своей жизнью и притворяться? все хорошо? Прежде чем копать мою могилу

about

Five years of writing, rewriting, and a massive amount of recording has resulted in 'Cut for Content' - the most savage, groovy, and eclectic album in our ten year ska punk career.

This album is dedicated to the memory of Derx Brax, and would not have been possible without his hard work and dedication. We miss you, brother, and think about you every day.

about

4 Aspirin Morning Madison, Wisconsin

"Punk and ska do a drunken slam dance when Madison's 4 Aspirin Morning takes the stage." - Madison Isthmus
Born at the bottom of a 40 oz and raised on an 80s and 90s record collection, The 4 Aspirin Morning (4AM) kicks open the cellar door and resurrects the underground punk/ska scene... a wave of guitars collides with a storm of horns to create a fresher, darker, more aggressive sound.
