No Laughing Matter

it's no laughing matter although it's hard to believe
I saw a man get shot, for smoking weed
I saw a hippie beat, a protestor shot...for something that he's not
it's no laughing matter what I tell you is true
I was a man get killed because he was a Jew
I've seen a man attacked, I've seen a woman raped...the color of her skin was black
you better take your stand, it could happen to you
even if you're not black or even not a Jew

I live above the discount den it makes it very easy for me to shop
I clip out all my coupons and get toilet paper for a buck
get soap, shampoo and even records
it's so easy man being, a bargain hunter
I'm a bargain hunter cause I shop at discount stores
I'm a bargain hunter, I buy things where they don't cost more
I like to go to K-Mart, and I go to Wolco I go to Farm and Fleet and all these places that are really cheap, you know
I don't like to spend money, you know who does
all these things are so free, well almost, the Salvation Army, hey there's one
there's one that's really good
then you've got this thrift shop right around the corner
they've got these cool mannequins for $10
I'm a bargain hunter cause I shop at discount stores
I'm a bargain hunter, I buy things where they don't cost more
I like shopping discount, it's no fun shopping at Saks Fifth Ave.
you know it's too much
why go somewhere and spend all that money when you can buy all things
very cheap, at K-mart
I'm a bargain hunter cause I shop at discount stores
I'm a bargain hunter, I buy things where they don't cost more

Apt. 25
02:50
|

I'm sitting here in my apt. building spying into other people lives
I've got my binoculars focused on apt. 25
I see little girls, I see older men, I see people getting fried
and then I hear those sirens and see the police come by
but now I'm sitting here and I'm thinking what I've done
this peeping tom life isn't always fun
but there's just one thing that gives me hope
and oh no that's not smoking dope
it's knowing apt. 25, is always there for me
well they though I'd learned my lesson well I guess I fooled them all
cause I'm walking to my building now I'm running through the halls
and I look outside my window and much to my surprise
I see them at it one more time, bring joy back to my eyes
but now I realize that I must give it up cause now I'm back here in this rut
cause I can't do this all my life cause I'd probably end it with a knife
and suicide, is not what I want right now
well now I've got a wife, and now we've got some kids
and he just found my binoculars and guess what he done did
he went looking through the window and that reminded me of me
he said "daddy daddy daddy I just watched a man go pee"
so why must I hide my head, maybe I'd been better off dead
but I can't take it again
the humiliation that I went through, I'd hoped never happed to you
but just like Harry said, my boy was just like me

promise of peace and world control, promise of a national economic goal
wasted smiles and useless handshakes
nothing new, nothing learned still believe in the stuff they spurn
and ugly facade, stupid farce, national elections, nothing worse
promise of peace and world control, promise of a national economic goal
wasted smiles and useless handshakes propaganda TV debates

when I look in the mirror, I wanna see me
I don't want to see a reflection of you
why don't you just follow yourself and make a shadow of your own x2
mirror mirror on the wall tells me who to follow x2
I'm taking the time to see if it fits
but it's a size 12 and I'm a size 9
now it's time to find your own
cause I found this one, and this one is all mine

goin' down, getting ready got a gun, gonna pull the trigger
Reagan's got me ready to fire my gun, recruit em up and send em down
he don't care anyway as long as his life gets spared
goin' down, getting ready, got a gun, gonna pull the trigger
so come on Reagan be a pal don't send us down to end it all
I've got a life and I want to live, live in freedom not in war
isn't that what life is for
not for killing, not for blood, not for Reagan's fun
Reagan's got me ready to fire my gun recruit em up and send em down
he don't care anyway as long as his wife gets spared
so come on Reagan be a pal don't send us down to end it all
I've got a life and I want to life, in my country I want to stay
I don't want to go down and get wasted away

they show you on the TV, to be all you can be
but that's not all that I see, I see the Government lying to me
the murdered, the handicapped, that is how much, how much you can be
the aftermath is none to be proud, I just like to turn my head in awe
but I've just got to remember, it's quick, it's easy and it's the law
so I say to you, the man in shiny black shoes
I'll find a job and I'll find it without you

It's Just Beautiful

look at the pretty sky, watch the green grass grow
it's such a lovely day to see the children play
see the flowers bloom, see the children play
I just can't believe that it's such a wonderful day
there's no rain from the cloud above the sun is shining and I think I'm in love
if the birds keep singing this pretty song, I think I'll sit here all day long
look at the pretty sky, watch the flowers bloom
it's such a lovely day to watch the green grass grow
see the children play, hear the pretty birds sing
I just can't believe that it's such a wonderful day

Indecision

it doesn't matter what I say you always seem to get in the way
it's so hard to try to stay away from you
you can't even make up your mind so how hard must I try
your indecision really bothers me
what that you say, it don't mean nothing, to me
I can't understand
it doesn't matter what I say you always seem to get in the way
it's too hard to try to stay away from you
how hard must I try when you can't even make up your mind
your indecision really bothers me

What if Jesus was a bastard (alien) as the sperm given was God's
would that change history, lay doubt on belief
it's just a thought to think, is it wrong to be...Questioningly
What if T-Rex was a scavanger, couldn't run fast at all
would that change history, lay doubt on belief
is it wrong to be...Questioningly
it's just a thought to think (that we are free)
is it wrong to be (and we don't need)
it's just a thought to think (anything)
it's just a thought to think (that we can't see)
is it wrong to be (everything)
it's just a thought to think (that is in front of us, we choose not to believe)
What if the ice caps were melting as we watched them fade away
would that change the future if denial ruled the day
just a thought to think, is it wrong to be...Questioningly

Don't Look Back

She got kicked from Baltimore too drunk to let it pass
they won't, hold her back
looking at each other they thought time had never passed
they won't, won't look back, don't look back
First time that they met it was already too late, so unaware
the times that change they're still the same
you try and not forget, so unfair
Time will pass whatever circumstance will bright it back around
familiar as the last but different none the less
if you let it happen it just might work again
but new for you again to go through...
don't look back
eyes wide open never wake cast underneath then wet, never again
nothing new nothing learned was more than a cassette
now as well as then...
don't look back
Time will pass whatever circumstance will bright it back around
familiar as the last but different none the less
if you let it happen it just might work again
but new for you again to go through...
don't look back

It's been this way forever, who are you to change things...change
don't stand up sit down disagree, don't talk shut up but listen to me
where were you when we all were there, your dangerous ideas, you just don't care
we've done our time so we deserve, we're not the best but it's our turn
so take your place amongst the herd and go away, don't disturb
your age it shows for God's sake, leave the show to us
here, have a drink and go away...go away
don't stand up sit down disagree, don't talk shut up but listen to me
where were you when we all were there, your dangerous ideas, you just don't care
we've done our time so we deserve, we're not the best but it's our turn
so take your place amongst the herd and go away, don't disturb

What You're Doing To Me

I don't know how this began, there she is alone again
do you know what you're doing, what you're doing to me
the way she paints her ruby lips the way she moves her hips
does she know what she's doing what she's doing to me
I listen to her talk the way she does her catwalk
do you know what you're doing what you're doing to me
I wake up from this erotic dream and I let out a loud scream
I don't know what I'm doing what I'm doing to me
it's time to tell her how I feel it seems so strange yet so surreal

RING 13 De Kalb, Illinois
Ring 13 started in early 1983 and later they went to see the Circle Jerks and the Clitboys at Tuts in Chicago 4/10/83 which completely blew them away! Ring 13 saw the Ramones in DeKalb a few years earlier, 1980, which got them inspired enough to stay on the path of punk rock. So to basically paraphrase Field Of Dreams, if the Ramones play, kids will follow (a Replacements nod too). ... more
RING 13 recommends:
great songs from an NIU band that knew how to (punk) rock! DeKalb Illinois music scene ruled and Blatant Dissent were a big part of that.
go to album
The future of music is looking good if this is the direction of where punk (music in general) is headed. This band has something special going for them, great songs, great covers (the Muffs). rock on!
