about

Our "old punx attempting to keep it real" anthem, which I wrote when I was 23.

lyrics

Your dialectic of defeat is a space populated by some of the oldest 21-year-olds I know. But your cigarettes can't smoke it out of me, and 8 years of work haven't choked it out of me. And the wisest, most jaded group of scenesters assembled in the most comfortable bar means nothing compared to the expression of incipient analysis on a 15-year-old face. Circle pit beats drink-and-sit. We need a new synthesis: experience plus energy, by the kids/for the kids, both literal and internal. I'll take this cliche over your decay any day. Boil it down to independence and communication without pretense. The day I graduate from that is the day I slit my wrists. Since when did we aspire to turn into our parents?
