Props to rH for releasing
Challenger-When_Friends_Turn_Against_You-(VLS
)-2004-rH But we bring you here the same
tracks in digital quality straight from the
MCD out On Day After Records.
Ex Milemarker blah blah blah, you all know
about that band and how much they rock.
Lyrics :
The Indictment
Physician! Physician! Why donÆt you heal
yourself?
Technicians! Technicians! Tear your tools
from their shelves.
Plastic surgery is needed immediately. WeÆve
got to look our best for the inquest.
Just like Leopold, doing it all for the love
of Loeb.
WeÆve gotta look our best for the inquest.
Look alive for the autoposy.
Days turned to weeks and minutes to days and
then the bandages came off my face and I was
as shocked as anyone to see the brand new me.
No complaints! Who doesnÆt like the feeling
of skin on scapel?
IÆm going to win this lawsuit with the ease
of a swimsuit competition.
Here comes the judge!
(Everybody stand up!)
Here comes the judge with the verdict.
Judge: Before the jury presents their verdict
is there anything the defendent would like to
say to the court?
Defendant: Umm, yes. Well, actually.
The real crime is the time you wasted waiting
for the permission this gavel could give
but if you want to live- I mean, really live-
youÆre going to have to give something of
yourself away.
Judge: LetÆs hear what a jury of your peers
has to say. I think theyÆve got your number.
I think itÆs not your day. LetÆs hear what a
jury of your peers has to say. Their thumbs
are pointing downward. Today is not your day.
LetÆs hear what a jury of your peers has to
say. I think theyÆve got your number. LetÆs
hope they throw away the key.
Notes:
A song about fear of jury duty. I had wanted
to do a ôPeopleÆs Courtö style dramatic court
room scene in a song for a while. But
unfortunately, not much of substance is on
trial in this song: just the usual, injured
feelings of overly sensitive members of the
intelligensia. The last day of our recording,
as everyone still was trading off turns at
vocal takes to decide who got to do the voice
of the judge, engineer Stan Wood felt his
grip on sanity begin to weaken just a little.
Crash Course In Crashing
We crushed ourselves,
So the broken bones,
Well thatÆs on me.
We can tip toe aroundû
Race without a sound.
From North Carolina to the seven seas.
Cast the sails higher pick up speed.
And weÆre going going going ætill eventually
we reach the end.
At 6 degrees can you feel your extremities?
Is the power going off inside of you?
Do you know where you will go to when weÆve
broken all your bones?
Well the destinationÆs out there.
So spin the globe around and put your finger
down and we will drive.
We will drive each other crazy.
From North Carolina to the seven seas.
Cast the sails higher pick up speed.
And weÆre going going going ætill eventually
we reach the end.
At 6 degrees can you feel your extremities?
Is the power going off inside of you?
Do you know where you will go to when youÆre
left out in the cold?
Can you feel the frostbiteÆs kiss?
Notes:
Dave LaneyÆs North Carolina battle rap; also
a song about the statistical likelyhood of
car accidents. Although there are two
guitarists in this band, there are three
guitar tunings on this song. What are we
thinking? How are we going to pull that off
live?
Victim Of Changes
Wrote your name in cement with a stick. You
think itÆs going to stick, but theyÆll just
sandblast it away eventually and youÆll be
forgotten, like everyone else. Thick as a
brick, dumb as a post. The one who
compromises most is the one who never
changes. It gets underneath your skin and
makes you angry. Very angry. You look pale,
so pale, are you not feeling well?
Unrecognizable because you havenÆt changed at
all.
Notes:s
The lyrics to this song written ten years ago
(or so), as a prediction for the future,
which actually did come true. ôWrote your
name in cementö references ôAl Burian, King
Of Punk,ö written into wet cement in front of
Marc OwensÆ apartment, Durham, NC, and still
there as far as I know. The more recent
experience of writing my name in cement in
Chicago and having it obliterated within one
hour prompted me to resurrect the song
lyrics. ôAngryû very angry,ö added in 2004
just so I could hear Remis sing it. Song
title was lifted from Judas Priest.
The Tree Surgeon
Extend a branch to make amends like trees
that grow and know no end.
Like trees that forget that if they spread
their branches too far they will kill
everything.
You could grow so tall
You could live so long
You could do so well
and suffocate all who are below.
Hey man, youÆre stretching out further than
you think.
Give me some room! This is my world too and
youÆre crowding me.
You canÆt see the forest for the trees.
You will kill everyone.
WhatÆs it going to be?
Are the rings wrapped so tight you canÆt
remember whatÆs inside?
Narcissistic and persistent, ungrateful to
the ground.
A lesson learned a thousand times is a lesson
you didnÆt learn.
Your skinÆs as thick as bark but IÆm going to
leave a mark.
Looks like itÆs time to get the hatchet out.
Notes:s
The song topic was not lifted from Rush; itφs
actually a coincedence. And there really is
such a job as a tree surgeon. It seems like a
good job to have if youφre not a ôpeople
person.ö
Bombs Over Baghdad
Bam! Pow! While youÆre waiting to hear mortar
fire, check this out:
The valedictorian is back in town, and heÆs
missing an arm! ôRemember when we danced to
æBombs Over BaghdadÆ at the high school prom?
Well, how ya like me now?ö
If Hinkley had a shot in the directorÆs
chair, would he have developed Jodie FosterÆs
character?
Or just given Bickle better aim?
This is a party! This is a disco! Yeah!
YouÆve got time for that right now.
YouÆve got options, youÆve got futures.
YouÆve got investments in your day-to-day.
And the world is spinning slowly weighed down
by the weight of white men.
You ought to hang your head in shame.
YouÆve got sticky fingers from the blood
thatÆs on your hands.
ArenÆt you ashamed to let the poor kill the
poor in your name?
Notes:s
The only time IÆve ever been in a recording
situation where it was openly and honestly
declared that we needed to get it to sound
more like a beer commercial. We really worked
on those guitar solos.
