Joseph Strong (Johnny Larue)
Timeless band & they never run out of things to sing about. Still one of my favorite live acts...
Favorite track: I am woman hear me roar.

Another absolute banger by the Dayglo Abortions -- but then again, every Dayglo recording is a fuckin' banger! Hell, if "Spoken Word" was 80 minutes long it would still be a banger.
Favorite track: I am woman hear me roar.
upside down world
I've had it up to here - I will not go along
with a world where everything - is turned upside down
we're ruled by double speaking - elitist hypocrites
who serve their corporate masters - and fuck their citizens
I will have to part of it, it's all fucked up bullshit
upside down world, It's all upside down
I do not belong here, everything is upside down
upside down world, It's all upside down
after being taxed to death - we still have bills to pay
but all the money seems to - got to the same place
instead of buying decent food - to feed our hungry children
we spend it all on weapons - and spread mayhem and destruction
schools that no longer give - our kids an education
for profit medical system - that cultivates disease
then leaks another virus - from it's secret laboratories
that ends up killing millions - and tanks the economy
it's another excuse - to take our civil liberties
then we give in to fear - and get down on our knees
instead of fighting back - we take it out on each other
families fall apart - and brothers fight their brothers
I will have to part of it, it's all fucked up bullshit
upside down world, It's all upside down
I do not belong here, everything is upside down
upside down world, It's all upside down
he kids are wide awoke
I see so much anger directed at the kids
the grownups hate their music and think they're idiots
I think it's always been this way since the dawn of time
each generation thinks that they're the best of their kind
the kids are convinced that the adults are all dicks
they're liars and thieves and total hypocrites
but looking at the earth and the damage we have done
I think the kids are right and they might have a solution
It's possible that the problem is inherent in our species
all this anger and aggression we couldn't give a squirt of piss
If we would only clean up our fucking mess
maybe they would notice an offer us some help
The kids are all wide awoke so what's the fucking problem
they just want the same things that we fought for when we were them
but the world wasn't falling apart at the seams
so I wasted all my time starting riots and getting high
The kids are all wide awoke and ready for their turn
to rule the world and show us just exactly what they learned
The kids are all wide awoke and chompin' at the bit
to rule the world and show us what they will do with it
chokin' on my puke
woke up this morning with puke in my bed
heavy pounding in my head I'm just hung not dead
feeling like I need some more smoke a joint out the door
I'm off to the liquor store
driving like I'm in a race hit the store grab a case
I'm gonna get shit faced
fuckin' Eh!! it could happen any day
I'm gonna die from chokin' on my puke
passed out drunk still wearing my boots
in a pool of barf laying on the floor
drink my beer I won't need them anymore
I'm gonna die - chokin' on my puke
drinking is my favourite thing to do
all my friends are drunks too
pass me another fuckin' brew
when I get drunk and pass out
puke will flow there is no doubt
like a fountain I will spout
when I start to hack
up my digestive tract
I hope I'm not on my back
like I say - it could happen any day
I'm gonna die from chokin' on my puke
passed out drunk still wearing my boots
in a pool of barf laying on the floor
drink my beer I won't need them anymore
chokin' - on my - puke
I am woman hear me roar
life was so complicated before I became a woman
there was too much competition before I became a woman
but then it occured to me all I had to do was believe
I was borne into the body of a man
but I could become the woman that I am
I was the smallest guy on my hockey team
now I'm the toughest girl in the woman's league
I score every time I step on the ice
kicking bitches asses in the hockey fights
the other girls are all afraid of me
cuz I shave my balls and stand up to pee
I still have my great big dick
but I'm saving up for a pair of brand new tits
I am woman hear me roar - she shoots, she scores
I am woman hear me roar - I'm no longer the man I was before
I was borne into the body of a white caucasian man
a guaranteed looser who didn't stand a chance
my life is so much better now that I identify
as something somewhere in between a woman and a guy
If the truth be known I hate all the other woman
they tell me I'm just a man
and they won't let me use their dressing room
but I will have my revenge
because I'm bigger and faster than them
I will hunt every one them down
And make them wish that they were men
I am woman hear me roar - she shoots, she scores
I am woman hear me roar - I'm no longer the man I was before
about
I'm trying to not let the world overwhelm me right now. There is so much polarization of opinions, so much pointless hatred, so much war, and most of all so much propaganda and lies from our governments and the NGO's and corporations that own them that our future seems to be heading for either complete collapse or some kind of technocratic totalitarian dictatorship. Neither option is acceptable to me and it's getting me down. So this 4 song EP is (I hope) the last political commentary you will hear from me for a while. I am going to go back to making people laugh and try to pull my head out of all this darkness because realistically, the way things are going this could all just be one big psyop designed to keep us all distracted.
