lyrics

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

about

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
