lyrics
Fight or die!
All around me the walls are closing in
I’ll stay and play the dead man’s hand again
I won’t back down
I’ll stay and fight for what is right
My words are weapons
My heart can roar
Louder than a lion
I took too much from too many
Now it’s time to fight so just get ready
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
A fist can hurt and looks can kill
Just take my word
You fight or die
The pressure builds
The more you hurt
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
We never get to choose our end
We say we’ll do it all tomorrow
And then we keep on living in rage in pain or in sorrow
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
Fight or die!
Don’t back down
Too late to cry
Just tear it down
My words are weapons
My heart can roar
Louder than a lion
I took too much from too many
Now it’s time to fight so just get ready
All around me the walls are closing in
I’ll stay and play the dead man’s hand again
I won’t back down
I’ll stay and fight for what is right
My words are weapons
My heart can roar
Louder than a lion
I took too much from too many
Now it’s time to fight so just get ready
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
A fist can hurt and looks can kill
Just take my word
You fight or die
The pressure builds
The more you hurt
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
We never get to choose our end
We say we’ll do it all tomorrow
And then we keep on living in rage in pain or in sorrow
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
Fight or die!
Don’t back down
Too late to cry
Just tear it down
My words are weapons
My heart can roar
Louder than a lion
I took too much from too many
Now it’s time to fight so just get ready

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.
