lyrics

Hey kid were you born to rock?
Living tie-dyed, brain-fried, dazed and shocked
Smash your head against the wall
Saying kiss-off, piss-off, to hell with it all
Nothing they do seems to get through
You’re like a cinderblock

Hey punk what’s it all about
Do you care if they stare when you strut and pout
What will remain will when you leave this place?
Feeling no love in your goal of reaching second base
Nothing they say stands in your way
You’re like a cinderblock

You’re telling me, you don’t wanna be
The lowest common denominator
You say you love her?
Then why you acting like you hate her?
Can’t you see you’ve turned you life into a mess?
How can you sleep when the alarm clock's screaming?
You better smell the coffee now and wake up.
Life ain’t no circus, so take off that clown make up
What lies behind those eyes is anyone’s guess
Seems it’s the new religion more or less

Sure kid, I’m a stupid fool
It’s not the same kind of game as when I was in school
You can explain to me all the things that you do
And in the end I’ll pretend I was not like you
Don’t want to hear your side or wound my stubborn pride
I’m like a cinderblock

about

CRUST New Jersey

Four college bandmates with solid mediocre musicianship and unstoppable creative drive. E minor power anthems? Heck, yeah. Wizards, demons and circus freaks? Of course. Meandering, brain-numbing jams. All day long. Sappy power ballads? Child's play. High-quality, 64-bit digital recording and modern mastering? Not a chance. Fun? It's the bedrock of everything CRUST does. ... more
