Tracklist

  1. 1.Never Listen1:17lyrics +
    We're going down that drain
    Just as fast as we came
    Everyone's watching
    But we're missing the aim
    
    When you're swirling around
    It's hard to see the funnel hit the ground
    Inertia won't stop till we're six feet underground
    
    Shoulda told you the first time
    Thought I told you another time
    You never heard it
    Cuz you never listen
    
    Shoulda told you the first time
    Thought I told you another time
    You never heard it
    Cuz you never listen
    
    Shoulda told you the first time
    Thought I told you another time
    You never heard it
    Cuz you never listen
    
    Shoulda told you the first time
    Thought I told you another time
    You never heard it
    Cuz you never listen, no no
    
    You never heard it
    No
    You never heard it
    No
    You never heard it
    No
    You never heard it
    No
    Cuz you never listen
    No no
  2. 2.Color Blind2:28lyrics +
    Conveniently
    You're impaired visually
    But your eyes work fine
    Its just your brain not working like a normal human being
    
    But I know
    That you can see
    But I think
    That you just don't want to
    
    I heard you're color blind
    And we're all the same
    But who matters more
    Who matters more to you
    Yeah who matters more to you
    
    I heard you're color blind
    And we're all the same
    But who matters more
    Who matters more to you
    Yeah who matters more to you
    
    The color that you say you can't see
    Reeks of injustice and superiority
    Convenient to believe we're all on the same page
    You don't see a difference we're all one family
    
    Your choice to exploit
    Your visionary deficit
    Shows an ignorance
    Quite so evident
    
    I heard you're color blind
    And we're all the same
    But who matters more
    Who matters more to you
    Yeah who matters more to you
    
    I heard you're color blind
    And we're all the same
    But who matters more
    Who matters more to you
    Who matters more to you
    Who matters more to you
  3. 3.It's Your Vuneral2:31lyrics +
    They got your hair cut up just right
    Clean and fashy high and tight
    The camera gets your best side
    Can't see the formaldehyde
    
    Leaking out of your ears
    Leaking out of your nose
    Did you regret it nobody knows
    A dead man tells no tales
    You thought the master race would prevail
    
    It's your vuneral
    It's so beautiful
    It's your vuneral
    Watching you go 6 feet underground
    
    It's your vuneral
    It's so beautiful
    It's your vuneral
    From the comfort of my own home
    
    Thought you could conquer the beast
    Carry it around for you to unleash
    Kill the weak and poor
    Instead you fell on the floor
    
    You can barely breath, got a cough
    Head keeps running hot
    They stuck a tube right down your throat
    Your lungs are gonna explode
    
    Just you and the undertaker
    Taking you to meet your maker
    While we watch you on our iPhones
    Where do you think you're going
    
    Going down, down underground
    If there's a hell that's where you'll be found
    Or turned into cockroach dung
    They'll chew right through your lungs
    
    It's your vuneral
    It's so beautiful
    It's your vuneral
    Watching you go 6 feet underground
    
    It's your vuneral
    It's so beautiful
    It's your vuneral
    From the comfort of my own home
    
    It's your vuneral
    It's so beautiful
    It's your vuneral
    Watching you go 6 feet underground
    
    It's your vuneral
    It's so beautiful
    It's your vuneral
    Watching you go 6 feet underground
  4. 4.Holding Down the Fort2:33lyrics +
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    
    California looks so nice
    All lit up with the fires oh so bright
    All those people driving
    But nowhere to go
    California say aloha
    Mahalo
    
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    
    California has its faults
    It shakes and rattles every day
    You can go far
    But you can't get far away
    From all the problems you won't face
    
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
    I'm holding down the fort
    But I've got a feeling you're not coming back
  5. 5.How to Kill a Zombie2:26lyrics +
    Airplanes drop powder in the air
    Now there's zombies every where
    Shoot them from your easy chair
    Tell Rick Grimes I'll be right there
    
    School never taught me
    How to kill a zombie
    School never taught me anything at all
    School never taught me
    How to kill a zombie
    School never taught me anything at all
    
    Tossing turning in my sleep
    I'm counting herds of zombie sheep
    Zombie mommy makes me weep
    I pray to god my soul to keep
    
    School never taught me
    How to kill a zombie
    School never taught me anything at all
    School never taught me
    How to kill a zombie
    School never taught me anything at all
    
    Locked and loaded every day
    I kill those zombies every way
    In my house I guess I'll stay
    Fight again another day
    
    School never taught me
    How to kill a zombie
    School never taught me anything at all
    School never taught me
    How to kill a zombie
    School never taught me anything at all
  6. 6.Our Part in the Darkness2:47lyrics +
    I'm doing nothing that's the problem
    You're standing on the side
    Hold up a sign
    Expressing your disdain
    But we all share in the blame
    
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    
    I can write a song about how we should band together
    You can sign along at the top of your lungs
    But in the end, doesn't change a god damn thing
    And we all still share in the blame
    
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    
    They say it takes a worried man
    To sing a worried song
    Well we can sing and shout about it
    Bring our worries all along
    I might be worried now
    But I won't be worried long
    Because my part in the darkness
    Goes away with each new dawn
    
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
    We do our part
    Our part in the darkness
  7. 7.Permanent Record1:51lyrics +
    When the walls go down I can see inside
    It's not very pretty there's nowhere to hide
    Didn't know you really felt like that
    But now I know why there's no welcome mat
    
    Your neighbors just stare when you come to the door
    Was it something you said the night before?
    Maybe you don't remember it
    But I sure do and I'm sick of it
    
    Permanent record, your permanent record
    No I can't unhear, can't unhear
    The things you said after a couple of beers
    Lips get loose and you overshare
    
    Permanent record, your permanent record
    No I can't unhear, can't unhear
    The things you said after a couple of beers
    Lips get loose and you overshare
    
    I don't wanna hear about your brand new rash
    I don't wanna know where you keep your stash
    I don't want to hear you voted for trump
    Cuz that's the kind of thing that'll get you dumped
    
    On the outside you seemed OK
    Until I got in your brain and I can't delay
    How fast I need the door to close
    Before your cesspool brain hits overflow
    
    Permanent record, your permanent record
    No I can't unhear, can't unhear
    The things you said after a couple of beers
    Lips get loose and you overshare
    
    Permanent record, your permanent record
    No I can't unhear, can't unhear
    The things you said after a couple of beers
    Lips get loose and you overshare
  8. 8.Nuclear Dudes2:28lyrics +
    We're here, we're weird
    We're the Nuclear Dudes
    Playing games in our living room
    We're here, we're weird
    We're the Nuclear Dudes
    Keg of beer and a bag of shrooms
    
    We're here, we're weird
    We're the Nuclear Dudes
    Playing games in our living room
    We're here, we're weird
    We're the Nuclear Dudes
    Keg of beer and a bag of shrooms
    
    You got Kamchatka but you'll never get Djibouti
    You can go to space but I don't really care
    
    Although the moon is pretty critical to Risk 2210
    I just wanna yell at Zach and never go outside again
    That infection card from Zombie Dan
    Really changed the way we play
    Now me and Chris and Joe and RC
    Getting nuclear everyday
    
    We're here, we're weird
    We're the Nuclear Dudes
    Playing games in our living room
    We're here, we're weird
    We're the Nuclear Dudes
    Keg of beer and a bag of shrooms
    We're here, we're weird
    We're the Nuclear Dudes
    Playing games in our living room
    We're here, we're weird
    We're the Nuclear Dudes
    Keg of beer and a bag of shrooms

It’s speedy, poppy basic punk, à la DESCENDENTS and CRIMPSHINE, with lots of politics (and some zombies) in the lyrical mix. Catchy and infectious for sure.Maximumrocknroll #455, Ramsey Kanaan
El Sancho handles the endless American nightmare era well. We got through it, let’s party.Razorcake, Matt Werts
