Man’s not happy with the planet Earth
He wants to go destroy some other worlds
Maybe Mars or maybe space, just to please the human race
Manifest Destiny
Join the world for the quest
Fighting to see who gets the best
You know it’s happened once before, Indians died to feed the capitalist whore
Manifest Destiny
This is not a fantasy, 30 years to reality
Man makes a killing off the unknow
Gentrify Mars for a TV Show
Sagan’s Catastrophy tonight on TV
NBC Be There, Fool!

Metamorphosis

He wakes up one morning feeling rather slow
He was up late last night because of Krietzer’s show
He had it made, not better place to be
But he turned into a punk
And now he’ll be sorry
One can’t fight all their life trying to be a man
Punk becomes a last resort, not a promised land
He’d rather be where his life could be carefree
Now he wants to save the world, too bad that has to be
This is life, at 18
This is why we’re dying
Modern world is crying
Why be you?

I'm Not Ready
01:30

Sometimes life really sucks and I wish I was dead
Problems seem to just add up, there changing everyday
I don’t know, I think it’s funny is it me or the world that’s not ready for this century
I'm not ready for this century, wish it was 1000 BC
I’m not ready for, for this century
What went wrong, when did it happen
I wasn’t born and that makes me angry
I'm not ready for this century, wish it was 1000 BC
I’m not ready for, for this century

Life Makes Sense

Tell me why I’m screaming if it’s just another day
I can’t explain the reason for the things I can’t explain
So much junk inside my head, so many things to do
Life has given me everything that I need but the truth
Life makes sense it leads me to death
Is there an answer or at least a punchline

Friend In Pain

friend in pain far away
frustration builds with every day
fear of hatred in their eyes
fear of torture by their lies
the air between is an extension of my flesh
hearts stretched thin around the nerves of time
friend in pain so far away
psychologists with long white coats
psychiatrists with long white smiles
trust in eyes like long white knives
lunatics tried to put her away
this scream is not from toughness
this scream is not from coolness
this is a scream of sadness
this is a scream of pain
insane insane insane insane
there was nothing I could do
friend in pain so far away
I wanted to kill them

life out of balance
this is my world
my mind is a factory
your mind is a factory
my mind's a big computer and it's just for keeping track of all the bodies that go by me just like twinkies on a rack ideas and faces speed right by without a momentary thought because I'm just another product and I'm trying to be bought
life out of balance
this is my world
my mind is a factory
your mind is a factory
life out of balance
this is my world
my mind is a factory
earth is just a factory
I take a look around me
and I don't like what I see
It's your fault and it's my fault
that our nation isn't free
I take a look around me
and it makes me wanna cry
corporate money-demons
steal a world they couldn't buy
I take a look around me
and it makes me wanna scream
what you think is freedom's
just a technocratic dream
life out of balance
this is your life

Stands For Nothing New York
Hardcore punk
recorded live in Crowley's bedroom 1985
"S.F.N. 'Stands For Nothing,' but
their music is definitely a cut above. Very tight playing and excellent production bring out some of the subtleties in their complex power-thrash approach. Bits of jazz thrown in here and there break the uniformity, as do the intelligent lyrics. Lotsa songs."
-Tim Yohannon
Maximum Rocknroll August 1985
