James .R. Dixon When a baby is born in Detroit the child is asked: "What do you want Fender or Gibson"? 442 are from the home of Iggy Pop, there is not a bad track on this seriously hard punking LP. Hard to pick a favourite , "Rise of The worms" but the other 10 tracks are just as electric. Dam near Perfect record! Favorite track: The rise of the worms.

krotix There is something to be said for the missing ingredient in much of Punk today, though there are still plenty of fired up bands and fans

The ingredient is anger at being treated as a statistic/ number/ a nothing and this Michigan band harkens to Iggy/ MC5 and dare I say Negative Approach.

This is Punk not HC, but it comes right up to the wire defining both. Favorite track: A man ain't a man to the man so f*ck the man.

We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand defiant against the fucking state We stand defiant against their fucking hate Kicked in the head, dragged across the ground Locked in a cage, attacked by their hounds We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand defiant against the fucking cops We stand defiant against the fucking pigs We stand defiant against the fucking state We stand defiant against their fucking hate We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant! We stand, we stand defiant!

Out of control 02:43
lyrics

I feel like paper in a storm Without face without form Moving faster than a Maserati I'm higher than a kamikaze It's out of control We’ve been handed out defeat Just like a child given out a treat All your talk of law and order That’s just fear and paranoia It's out of control When life has worried you to death And it's stolen your last breathe Utopias in garbage dumpsters Man made natural disasters

That motherfucker puts his hands on you that motherfucker asked you where you going that motherfucker ask you a question Then he tells you to shut the fuck up As the beat goes on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on upside your fucking head As the beat goes on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on upside your fucking head A man and a man to the man so fuck the man I said a man I need a man to the man so fuck the man that motherfucker brutalize then stand in court telling lies you've been placed under suspicion because dumb motherfuckers believe superstition A man and a man to the man so fuck the man I said a man I need a man to the man so fuck the man I said it once before but you all seem to love repetition A man and a man to the man so fuck the man A man and a man to the man so fuck the man A man and a man to the man so fuck the man A man and a man to the man so fuck the man A man and a man to the man so fuck the man

You can't keep me in this cage because my mind is full of rage And I really just don't give a damn to be your sacrificial lamb I wanna dance dance dance, then dance some more I wanna dance dance dance, then dance some more Prepare for the zombie apocalypse, while living off others tips Climbed a mountain just to dig a hole, to bury that soul that you stole I wanna dance dance dance, then dance some more I wanna dance dance dance, then dance some more Bored to the point total contempt A repetition from the previous attempt When all your lovers have let you down You'll find all the fuckers never disappoint I wanna dance dance dance, then dance some more I wanna dance dance dance, then dance some more Listen to the sound of my burning soul, fired up on the rock n roll Listen to the sound of my burning soul, fired up on the rock n roll Listen to the sound of my burning soul, fired up on the rock n roll Listen to the sound of my burning soul, fired up on the rock n roll

Today I might be dirty Tomorrow I’ll be dirt You need someone to blame You better get religious Don’t want to hear this I don’t want to hear that I don’t want to hear you All that we used to do You don’t need tattoos When you’ve got scars And I don’t need you When I’ve got self respect Don’t want to hear this I don’t want to hear that I don’t want to hear you All that we used to do I’m now here, nowhere Stop me, stop me stop me now Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before, before I thought you might just be the one The one who’d fucking save me

It's alright now 04:02

It's all right now, all right all right now There's blood in the street,and a man in a sheet Click that button, alt-right , delete Systematic blood and gore They're feeding babies to the dogs of war A slight of hand, up the sleeve Another religion that I can't believe America America There are no snowflakes during the long hot summer And it's alright alright alright alright All right all right all right all right It's alright now It's alright now It's alright now It's alright I was disillusioned by my own illusions Finding safety in my own confusion America America Blind politicians with their lies wide open Things fall apart, the center can't hold Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world The future ain't so hard to read To a man who holds a history book

Time might kill me but it won't defeat me My face is smiling While my soul is crying Up is down and down is up and everything is all screwed up Up is down and down is up and everyone is broken up Up is down and down is up and everything is all screwed up Up is down and down is up and everyone all fucked up I'm looking in the mirror A weapon of mass construction They try to tear me down Give me their frustration Up is down and down is up and everything is all screwed up Up is down and down is up and everyone is broken up Up is down and down is up and everything is all screwed up Up is down and down is up and everyone all fucked up I'm looking right through you You're the stranger I use to know Stop looking forward to the past It was never really all that great Up is down and down is up and everything is all screwed up Up is down and down is up and everyone is broken up Up is down and down is up and everything is all screwed up Up is down and down is up and everyone all fucked up All the poems have been written All the cigarette smoked When you're lying in the gutter Remember to look up at the stars

We are the worms born from dead societies Faceless tragedies, pantomimed comedies Yes yes, it's the rise of the worms Yes yes, it's the rise of the worms We fixate upon the flickering neon lights And the sound of the drum We start revolutions on our days off from work As we starve to death where the food is really good All this fear all this hate, living in a warfare state Profits for the war machines , austerities for the poor Yes yes, it's the rise of the worms Yes yes, it's the rise of the worms We fixate upon the flickering neon lights And the sound of the drum We start revolutions on our days off from work As we starve to death where the food is really good We are the thoughts of beautiful insanity Drab reality to the fashionable apathy Yes yes, it's the rise of the worms Yes yes, it's the rise of the worms We fixate upon the flickering neon lights And the sound of the drum We start revolutions on our days off from work As we starve to death where the food is really good We starve to death where the food is really good We starve to death where the food is really good We starve to death where the food is really good We starve to death where the food is really good

Anger and rage 02:20

Anger and rage I’m locked in a cage shrapnel sharp words existence’s absurd I’m out of my head I should be in bed I scream and I shout A total freak out We are the madness of our given reality Artificial intelligence and real stupidity Do you know what I mean? A radical peace A militant love Over the years I’ve grown into a child Love is too great for human emotion Dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean Do you know what I mean We are the madness of our given reality Artificial intelligence and real stupidity Do you know what I mean ? I’m out of my head I should be in bed I scream and I shout A total freak out All my rainbows are in black and white They thought I was crazy but it’s just gaslight Do you know what I mean ?

It goes 'round 02:54
lyrics
buy track
I’m in love with the wilderness The wilderness of broken glass Adrenaline at full throttle And the green fairies inside this bottle It keeps going round and round round and round I can’t sit through this conversation It just lowers my low expectations We never know who to call When everything goes seriously wrong And I’m always awake while the city’s asleep Always duck while others leap The speechless crime of the mime The abstract persistence of time It keeps going round and round round and round I can’t sit through this conversation it just lowers my low expectations We never know who to call When fist fucking goes seriously wrong
