Lazy half arsed punk rock
Alternative.Punk.
Idiot Strength was the the name of the band I formed many years ago. I just used the name cuz I still like it and wondered if anyone out there might remember us. According to my parents I was writing songs at the tender age of three. My first piece was entitled, "Citrioens going faster"
A few years ago I decided to get myself a small computer and began to discover just how much I could do with all this new fangled techno wizardry. These songs and instrumental pieces are the results thus far. More shall arive in due course.
Story behind the song
It's about me and almost every one I've ever known
who like to consider themselves outside of ordinary scociety, or part of some counter culture. It's about facing up to the fact that we don't stay 18 forever, and settling down and getting a steady job and throwing in the towel and joining the rat race.
Lyrics
We're coming, we're coming now
is this the future ?
So dissappointing, so dissillusioned
we're disconnected, and we're discontent
and we're unhappy,
And that's why we're all running around
Oh yea
You'll get a job, get a wife
Get a house, get a life
You'll settle down someday
Maybe that's, what you'll do
become the lace in the shoe
Just take your place in the queue
They said it's time to knuckle under
Cuz they've come to steal your thunder
well they'll tempt you then they'll tease you
When they say they aim to please you
You can bet that they'll be squeezing you dry
Guess I'll be, Guess we'll be
Running around for a long long time
Chorus
They wanna stamp out all your dreams,
You're just a burden to their schemes
They've got your number
So you'd better keep running around
Oh yea
Verse 2
You wont be tied wont be bound
That's why you'll never settle down
And when the sh** comes down
Just go back underground
Was it the joy, was it the pain
was it the anchor or the chain
Or just those stupid situations
Happenin over and again
Cuz you been ducking, and a diving
Always driven, never driving
Just, a rockin and a rollin along
To long a, along a
Road that aint leading to nothing new.
Chorus
To scared to face it when it comes
You like to think you're having fun
We know you're faking
So you'd better keep running around
Oh yea,
Run around
Middle 8
Run run round and around, always
running around, we'll drag you down underground
We're running, still running, keep running
Etcetera and so on
