from MTFC / SHITFIT SPLIT "NO COMPLAINTS", released 07 July 2015
lyrics
Right now, he's doing what he wants
It's time he does it when he wants
All his life, (he) meant to get this far.
Now, you're fifteen and you're in charge.
You can't control us.
We made us free.
We make our own gods
and call it, "me".
He makes you think he thought it through.
First rebel ever seen by you?
His friends support and love him well.
Fun livin' now. Don't see no hell.
You can't control us.
We made us free.
We make our own gods
and call it, "me".
We've got our own brains.
Don't insult us with your doubt.
We charge our hair
and we listen to Kraut
None sense rebellion.
Then we add in some truth.
No right or wrong,
without a moral absolute.
Right now we're doing what we want.
"Do what I want. When-when I want".
All his life, (he) meant to get this far.
Now you're fifteen and you're in charge
You can't control us.
We made us free.
We make our own gods
and call it "me".
(If) we fight the system
we will always be free.
That breeds a problem
that we didn't foresee.
No lasting satisfaction
from our carnal mission.
We've damned ourselves into
our own internal prison.
Crunchy garage jams co-mingle with country on the Brooklyn band's surprise LP, a not-so-secret love letter to the Rolling Stones. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2018
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
