I am having a really boring day It's one of those days when everything is boring and lame No matter what I do it's always the same It's more boring shit over and over again Everything I try is stupid and dumb I'd do some drugs but the drugs are all gone Not another boring day full of boring shit The world outside is so fucked up it's making me sick I gotta find something to do before I go insane I'm so fucking bored it's damaging my brain I'd torture my dog but that would be all wrong So I guess I'll just have to write this stupid boring song

velcro shoes 01:40
Ever since I was a young pup I've refused to grow up Then one day I was told that I am growing old This wasn't part of the plan I'd rather die young than be an old man Stumble drool get confused polyester slacks and velcro shoes So I did everything in my control to end my life before I got old Now my teeth are falling out and my hairs turned grey I'm gonna have to go into hiding one day This wasn't part of the plan I'd rather die young than be an old man Stumble drool get confused polyester slacks and velcro shoes

Ever since the day I was borne I've been fed lies Everything I learned in school, it was all lies Everytime I look in your eyes all I see is lies My life has become one great big fucking lie Sick of the Lies

they hate me 01:40
they hate me at least they think they do because I'm everything that they are denying they work their dead end job for 40 hours a week always bowing down to some pencil necked geek they sit behind their desk growing old and getting fat I think it's obvious, it's themselves that they hate they hate me and everyone like me they think we're all stupid and lazy but they're the ones that chose the same path as all the rest instead of thinking for themselves they just follow the other slaves they lock the door to their cell so they are nice and safe safe from everything but their own hate they hate me now it's for real it's a burning fire that eats them up inside it leaks out every pour and makes them beat their wife and kids then they go downtown and beat some hookers on the skids they start drinking and doing drugs then get fired from their jobs then they end up on the streets with nothing left but their hate

ALiens from outer space Are not taking over the human race It's just more disinformation To stop us looking for our real enemies Wake up turn off your TV Give your fucking head a shake Our enemies are all humans Not aliens from outer space

I'd like to set the record straight about my Mom She's not the person I sang about in that other song As a matter of fact - She's a really nice old lady She likes to work in her garden - And she never talks down to anyone I'd never hurt her - Not intentionally She is the best person I've ever met And I don't care - If you think this song is dumb It doesn't matter because I love my mom It's very unlikely that she's ever going to listen to this song But it's more for me than it is for her I've been meaning to do this for so fucking long She believes in God - But that doesn't bother me Because her god is loving and caring - And he wants us all to be free I'd never hurt her - Not intentionally She is the best person I've ever met And I don't care - If you think this song is dumb It doesn't matter because I love my mom

I fell through the cracks Now I work in the back Cutlery is my specialty My kingdom unto me I got a story to tell I haven't always worked in this hell Bubble bubble bubble toil and trouble Plates stacked high amidst the rubble Of pots and pans pass me another I'm your friend the dishwasher I was a rock & roll idol I filled my ego and forgot my sole I did it all for the kids Now they pass me by on the skids I got a story to tell I haven't always worked in this hell Bubble bubble bubble toil and trouble Plates stacked high amidst the rubble Of pots and pans pass me another I'm your friend the dishwasher

Freedom of choice is under attack by left handed Nazis you better fight back If these PC retards get their own way we'll all have to use apples, we'll all have to be gay Fuck you Apple, Fuck you Steve Jobs, you're polluting our language with you corporate buzz words Fuck you Apple, Fuck you Steve Jobs, You just want to be the internet slumlords We have to keep the internet free, Where everyone is equal we talk peer to peer Open information for everyone to see, No more secret societies Freedom of choice is under attack by left handed Nazis you better fight back

Let's cut through the shit - Dispose of the metaphor Speak in simple truths - Using one syllable words Not notarized declarations - Full of half baked expectations Loaded with accusations - And dripping with condemnation I call bullshit - I ain't gonna listen to it Don't treat me like an idiot - Or I'll just fucking split

If you don't want your kids to smoke you should teach it in school Because it should be obvious, they don't obey your stupid rules We're Continually beaten down by idiots and fools How long will it be before we have their heads on poles They kids are getting restless, they won't put up with it anymore They're sick of the lies , they've been fed for their whole lives I hear the cry for revolution, but is that really the solution Replace corrupt politicians, with mercenaries armed with machine guns We have to remember, what happened before The system we have right now started with a civil war We can't blame the dictators for dictating, It's us that put them in power It's not them that has to change, It's us. No matter what the penalty If there's a law we will break it Just to prove to ourselves That we are free For my whole life I've seen the multideath corporations rape our earth to make their bombs and guns. They use food as a weapon, and money to control us. I don't have the solution to all of this but there is one thing I can tell you. We don't need to replace the government. We need to get rid of the government. No matter what the penalty If there's a law we will break it Just to prove to ourselves That we are free

about

this is the 9th and most recent album by the dayglos. I noticed one day (a couple of years ago) that armageddon was definitely 100% percent guaranteed going to happen really really soon. I thought to myself...."again....already.....really....it's only been a few months since the last one and I still haven't paid for all the dope I fronted",. But then it occurred to me...."holy fuck...this is like the 5th or 6th armageddon that I have survived (as long as I pay off those fronts) I think I just might have a skill worthy of sharing with the world". So that was it. The Armageddon Survival Guide was born, or more accurately conceived, It obviously still had to be recorded but I won't bore you with all the technical mumbo jumbo that goes into the making of a modern rock and or roll album. Anyways....it's getting killer revues some even saying that it is our best. We are quite proud of our accomplishments on this one. Just when it was expected of an aging punk band that hadn't released anything for a few years to try and reclaim the glory of their youth by slapping together a painfully mediocre middle aged sounding insult to everything punk......not a fucking chance, we are not that kind of band, besides we never had any youthful glory to try and re-capture. We have always been and always will be the hardest rockin, and most sarcastically irreverent street punkers to ever come out of Esquimalt BC. No fuckin' kidding dude bro (in esquimalt it is customary to refer to all people regardless of how they choose to represent themselves as "dude bro" to prevent people from being singled out and discriminated against for not behaving like everyone else). SO....as I was saying....It definitely has the best sound of the lot. Recorded at the Armory Studios in Vancouver BC on 2 inch analog tape and mixed on an SSL console to capture every nuance of the performances of Blind Marc on drums, Willy Jak on bass, Mike Jak on guitar, and little old me...the cretin on guitar and vocals. Ok that's enough bullshit, just listen to damn thing and tell me what you think of it.
