THE WAY THINGS ARE NOT (Dave Wolff in article about CBGB’s – artists who challenge “the way things are”)

If you don’t like, what we friggin do

What we sing and say, how we carry a tune

Then hit the road, get lost you dope

Go screw yourself, you are a joke

Bru-tal-i-ty, is way overblown

Is way overhyped, mouths frothing with foam

It made its mark, and that fad will end

As with all prior, frail fleeting men

CHORUS

The way things are

Are not the way

We choose to live

Against the grain

Against the quo

Against all gods

Against the flow

Against all odds

If you stayed this long, then quick – get out!

We said those words, to keep you out

In pure-est form, strive to deliver

The anti’s of metal, the anti givers

CHORUS

LEAD
