- Bottled Violence
Get your bravery from a six pack
Get your bravery from a half-pint
Drink your whiskey, drink your grain
Bottoms up and you don't feel pain
Go out and fight, fight
Bottled violence
- Cashing In
How do you do? I don"t think that we"ve met.
My name is Ian and I"m from Minor Threat.
You know I tell them, usually, to be at their best.
Catch me in town after every set. Yea, yea.
We don"t care. We don"t pose.
We"ll steel your money. We"ll steel your show.
I got your money and I feel fine.
- Good Guys
i`m a bored boy born in the road
some say my manners ain`t the best
some of my friends they`ve been in a whole lot of trouble
some say i`m no better than the rest
but tell your mama and your papa
sometimes good guys don`t wear white
everyday i work hard
at night i spend a restless [?] time
- Guilty Of Being White
I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born
GUILTY OF BEING WHITE [x4]
- In my eyes
You tell me you like the taste
You just need an excuse
You tell me it calms your nerves
You just think it looks cool
You tell me you want to be different
You just change for the same
You tell me it's only natural
You just need the proof
- It Follows
I thought I had left it behind
In another fucking time
When boys were boys, girls were girls
And faces were hard to find
IT FOLLOWED ME
All the stupid thinking
- Little Friend
There are no words
For what I want to say
No description
For what I feel
It's a non-emotion
It's something gray
Way down
Inside of me
- Look Back and Laugh
I want to tell you a little story
Cause it makes me warm inside
It's about some friends growing up
And all the things they tried
I'm not talking about staple shit
They went for something more
I guess it was too much dreaming
Too much to hope for
- No Reason
So you hate me
That's the way it goes
What the fuck?
I guess I'll never know
If it makes you feel better,
Then I guess it's just as good
You know I'll never accept it,
Cause I never thought you could
- Salad Days
Wishing for the days
When I first wore this suit
Baby has grown older,
It's no longer cute
Too many voices
They've made me mute
Baby has grown ugly,
It's no longer cute
- Screaming At A Wall
I'm gonna knock it down
Any way that I can
I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna yell
I don't want to have to use my hands
IT'S LIKE SCREAMING AT A WALL
SOMEDAY IT'S GONNA FALL
- Seeing red
You see me and you laugh out loud
You taunt me from safe inside your crowd
My looks, they must threaten you
To make you act the way you do
RED, I'M SEEING RED
You see me and you think I'm a jerk
- Sob Story
Life's not been good for you
It's just not fair
You did nothing to deserve it
You did nothing at all
Sit back and watch
It turns from bad to worse
No matter how loud you cry
It always hurts
- Stepping Stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
You're trying to make your mark in society
Your using all the tricks that you used on me.
You're reading all them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes.
- Straight Edge
I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
- You Betrayed Me By Growing Up
Goddammit, we were supposed to stay young
But now it's over, it's finished, it's done
Normal expectations, they were on the run
But now it's over, it's finished, it's done
Maybe it was no one's fault
I know it wasn't mine
And now (that you've moved along)
And now I'm next in line
