lyrics

You pushed that door now you’re trapped for sure
We sound like dopes, but with a lot of hope
Addictives tones that run through your bones
UJ without drug prescription, more explosive than a gas station
It's the soundtrack to our lives, it sounds better than The Hives
Unlike most of the bands you love, we're not wearing the shirts of the Ramones
We're spreading around, like oil on the ground,
The sky is falling down, under this wall of sound
We keep the true sound of the underground,
Along with other bands, activists and friends
This shit’s not so bad since 97’ we’ve been around
And we wanna make it last until the end
No concessions cuz we’re stimulated by true passion
Music's keeping us alive, gives us the strength to survive
Open your fuckin’ears, are you ready for your new addiction
Forget all you've heard before, sing along 1-2-3-4

All my friends and I love Rock & Roll
We’re here to blast your fuckin’ soul
We like when it sounds cynical,
Raw dirty, and a bit radical
We're the most original
We want to drive you up the wall
Thanks to the music we are eternal
& soon we will come to your town, no matter how far it's from home,
we'll come to your town, to speak up and sing these songs

We can not and we won’t stop / We've done it from scratch, we've never asked for anything
But nevermind we play sub Pop / From the start, there was no other alternative
Love it or not we pack a punch / and make you want to start an everlasting riot
Get ready for the latest crop / it's the sound that you’ve always wanted us to drop

This one’s for the family, proudly and noisy, we riprizent the BSC,
Bad Ska do you know? We created the style and you use it now

From Goober P. to Op Ivy / Bad Ska C-O-R-P, ...
From Choking V. to Beastie B. / Bad Ska C-O-R-P, ...
From Hüsker D. to MDC / Bad Ska C-O-R-P, ...
From Johnny C. to Social D. / Bad Ska C-O-R-P, ...
