Circle Jerks, anyone?

[dolo amber]

Inspired by the progressive punk thread, I dug out some Circle Jerks and had a listen... and I've realised that KEITH MORRIS IS A PROPHET!!
Or psychic. Or something. Look at this:

From their 1981 debut ablum "Group Sex"

PAID VACATION

i hope you're having fun
where's your uniform?
where's your gun?
better rub on that suntan oil
cause you'll be fighting in the desert sun
it's not...vietnam
just another oil company scam
salute that flag of uncle sam
get your money out place you bets
it's afghanistan! fix bayonets
check grenades got enough bullets
got enough rounds to wipe out this place?
we're the infantry & the cavalry parachutes fill the sky bodies burn and people die

With the exception of that last line, pretty spooky, eh? :o

But then again, this was during the Reagan years, so maybe he's not a prophet so much as we're reliving the same bullshit over and over again...:eyes:

1. yep

I used to listen to them alot.
I recently sent "operation" to a freind who was
thinking about getting a vasectomy (or whatever it's called)
since he now has two children.

They put on a good show when I saw them some 15 years ago.

2. hahaha.. you're all gonna die, and you voted for that guy!

science
modern technology digs your grave
care of moscow and DC
votes you never gave

no more housewives;
"days of our lives",
television,disneyland,
basketball or stars and stripes

my country 'tis of thee
sweet land of liberty
of thee I sing...

3. I love the Circle Jerks, but my favorite song of theirs is a cover of The

Soft Boys song "I Wanna Destroy You" with Debbie Gibson singing back-up vocals.
