lyrics
And so it begins again
Going on since I don’t know when
We struggle and strive
But it’s victory that keeps us alive
All the times I ended up on my face
All of the fears that kept me in my place
Why do we strive?
Cause otherwise we aren’t alive
Why do we win?
Cause to give up should be a sin
Why do we die?
Cause we don’t know what’s on the other side
Better make it count
Better leave your mark
Better be a light in the dark
So it goes on and on
We are all just a verse in a never ending song
So what do you want to bring?
A dreary winter or a vibrant spring?
And so it goes along
We are all just a verse in a never ending song
So how do you want to roll?
Are you a supernova or a black hole?
Wanna be a supernova
Decide
Time to decide
Going on since I don’t know when
We struggle and strive
But it’s victory that keeps us alive
All the times I ended up on my face
All of the fears that kept me in my place
Why do we strive?
Cause otherwise we aren’t alive
Why do we win?
Cause to give up should be a sin
Why do we die?
Cause we don’t know what’s on the other side
Better make it count
Better leave your mark
Better be a light in the dark
So it goes on and on
We are all just a verse in a never ending song
So what do you want to bring?
A dreary winter or a vibrant spring?
And so it goes along
We are all just a verse in a never ending song
So how do you want to roll?
Are you a supernova or a black hole?
Wanna be a supernova
Decide
Time to decide

Heartfelt, powerful writing. Besides the first track, the title track is another great one, as well as No X-Ray Vision (which would be really cool as a slower, quieter song too).

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit

When LA Explosion came out I was hugely disappointed. After the meltdown that was the "She Don't Know Why I'm Here" 45 it sounded anemic and lifeless. Fast forward 40 years and we have a meaty, rockin' album that destroys the debut in terms of attack and Farfisa rock'n'roll oomph. It really should have come out in 1980 instead of languishing all these years. For me, that long ago 45rpm will never be topped, but this is so fine it's impossible to resist.

Pissed Jeans return with a barnstorming new LP in songs that swing from youthful optimism to sobering reality.
