Too Punk To Live

from Is A Locked Room by Your Vice

about

As with all good “Funny” hardcore records. Most of this might be dated. There are probably some universals I have stumbled upon but. This was a reaction to an old video Jello Biafra was putting up early in the pandemic where seemingly his message was maybe not clear enough because I heard it as “question wearing masks”. Which felt so irresponsible. Almost as irresponsible as me not watching the whole video which I am sure I didn't. PUNK!
As an old punk getting older, my goal is to not be so strident in my character that I start just sounding like “Old man on lawn yells at cloud”. Also because this is a punk song, I maintain the right to be totally wrong on the source material and calling something out I found frustrating but still stand behind the sentiment.

lyrics

Disaster capitalism
play into our fears.
Trying to make me wear a mask
I've been suffocating for years.

Too Punk to live.
Won't believe your lies.
I listened to my heroes
now i'm gonna die.
Jello Biafra gave me the truth
with his irreverent take on the news.

Disaster capitalism
play into our fears.
Trying to make me wear a mask
I've been suffocating for years.

I really liked the song
Goverment flu.
But now I just don't what to do.
Even in a pandemic
I wanna stay punk.
And even with Jello
pedaling junk

Disaster capitalism
play into our fears.
Trying to make me wear a mask
I've been suffocating for years.

It's the fine line between being a realist and being a contrarian punk asshole.
What do you think Jerry Brown????
OK boomer
