The Great Unwashed

Too many people got the money
They're stacking up a lot of cash
Too many people got the muscle
They gotta make a bigger stash

But I drink all night and I drink all day
I got cocaine in my veins

Too many people like the pressure
They like living on the pain
Too many people like to suffer
They have their heart attacks again

But I drink all night and I drink all day
I got cocaine in my veins
We're the great unwashed

Too many people got the questions
But do they really want to know
Too many people spend their lifetime
They're getting fat as money grows

But I drink all night and I drink all day
I got cocaine in my veins

Too many people gonna steal it
They want their fingers in your pie
Too many people gonna take it
They're gonna bleed you till you're dry

But I drink all night and I drink all day
I got cocaine in my veins
We're the great unwashed

Someday I'm gonna make some changes
I'm gonna put you in your place
Someday I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna win this [censored] race

But I drink all night and I drink all day
I get so damned stoned to hear what you say
I got cocaine in my veins
We're the great unwashed

What did I tell you about the effect of Ann Coulter on brain cells ?

The Fourth Horseman!!!

If anyone had ever told me that I would see The Anti-Nowhere League quoted here at 2+2, well, I would have laughed my ass off.

Excellent job, Andy!

More food for thought:


Animal
Hello Mrs Shaw
Could I borrow your lawnmower?

(Unintelligible) Up your body!
Why? Why me?
Why am I so lonely?

I'm an animal
I'm a sexual pervert, an animal
A living abortion
I'm an animal, nobody's hero
An animal, I'm your next door neighbour

Everybody hates me
Why am I so ugly?

I'm an animal
I'm a sexual pervert, an animal
I'm a living abortion
I'm an animal, I'm nobody's hero
I'm an animal, I'm your next door neighbour

Everybody scorns me
My wife - she doesn't know me

I'm an animal
I'm an animal
I'm an animal
I'm an animal, I'm your next door neighbour

Everybody shuns me
Why am I so dirty?

I dream of naked ladies leaping over me
I like peeping through holes in public lavatories
Domineering women in thigh-high boots
Tying me up, whipping me!

Somebody help me!
I've lost my sanity

I'm an animal
I'm a sexual pervert, an animal
I'm a living abortion
I'm an animal, I'm nobody's hero
I'm an animal, I'm your next door neighbour

No sex for me!
You, you made me
You scorned my body
You degraded me
You twisted my mind
You made me unkind
You fed on my cravings
You persecuted me
You don't understand
You!


I first saw the Anti-Nowhere League in Washington, D.C. in 1982. They were playing with, of all bands, The Damned and Minor Threat. It should appear in anyone's chronicles of "Great Moments in Rock and Roll History."

Pretty odd lineup, though, eh? Second in peculiarity only behind Gang of Four, Bad Brains, and The Bush Tetras at Roseland in 1980.

[MMMMMM]

"m must stand for magnetism as he draws the liberals right into his conservative cloak".

Maybe that's because I'm really a liberal and they don't understand me.

Most of those who think they're liberals are actually closet control freaks instead.

Well...have at it, Cyrus!;-)

i wish i would have been old enough to see Minor Threat or Bad Brains play...

[Rushmore]

I gotta tell you--it was the NUTS. Bad Brains were, well, totally insane. The shows were just bodies flying around, total mayhem. The band was so fast and so tight, and HR was like some freakin Rasta crackhead gymnast...it was great.

Minor Threat, on the flipside, was not nearly as great a band, but in D.C., everyone loved the hell out of 'em, so there was a hell of a lot of great energy there, too.

And 38 ain't that old. At least I wasn't listening to Springsteen and Phil Collins and goddamned Rush.

right on.

so were you pretty heavily into the hardcore 'scene' in the early 80s?

there are 2 pretty cool books out that detail a lot of what went on with some of those bands.

American Harcore: A Tribal History by Stephen Blush
this book has a TON of memorabilia images and pics and references just about every band that did anything in any scene ever during the rise and fall of hardcore. very good book, really details the violence, isolation, depravity, and community of the scene.

Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azzerrad
same author as Come As You Are about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. This book has 13 chapters about 13 different bands following the path of underground indie music to The Year That Punk Broke, with Nirvana's Nevermind. excellent writing, excellent insight, excellent quotes. i really enjoyed this book.
