Story Behind the Song
Recorded this in the early 90's, dug it up from a bunch of old tapes and decided to put on our new CD as an ass-kickin' final song
Lyrics
Another Week
Drive-by shootings everyday, innocent young children pay
Arson, theft & homicide, violent crime's a way of life
Families gathered 'round the TV watching all the misery
It can't be stopped from claiming victims
Soon it's coming to claim me...
Never in my 20 years (will I get to live another)
Have I sustained such crippling fears (will I get to live another)
Of a future grim and bleak (grim & bleak, grim & bleak)
Will I get to live another week
Clinton gives his New Deal speech while vagrants camp out on the beach
The wealthy dine in Sunset Plaza, no one cares 'cause nothing matters
Earthquakes, fires, toxic waste, there's not much more that I can face
I've seen it all, watched LA fall from thriving Mecca to disgrace
Cars play chicken on the freeway, stubborn drivers give no leeway
All their fumes go in the air, our lungs are scarred beyond repair
How much more can we endure, it's nothing short of all out war
We're losing and we're losing bad, our doom is lurking right off shore...
Just off shore
