All you ever wanna do is, be loud, be loud
Hanging around with your crew, look now, look now
Chop your hair, watch them stare
All you straight folk better beware
Shock-out woman, didn’t see ya comin’
Shock-out woman, stop that pushin’ and shovin’
Hanging around on the corner of your turf, teenage, teenage
Better not go if you’ve had enough, outrage, outrage
Stick back your head, don’t be led
Don’t ever listen to what they say
Shock-out woman, didn’t see ya comin’
Shock-out woman, stop that pushin’ and shovin’
Standin’ around with your fancy clothes, romance, romance
Staring in the mirror checkin’ out your good looks, no chance, no chance
Late night feels right, pick up the thread
Listen to the records spinning in your head
Shock-out woman, didn’t see ya comin’
Shock-out woman, stop that pushin’ and shovin’
Stick back your head, don’t be led
Don’t ever listen to what they say
Shock-out woman, didn’t see ya comin’
Shock-out woman, stop that pushin’ and shovin’

Said you’ve got my heart in chains my friend
You’ve done it before, you’ll do it again
Every time I think that it’s for real
But it always turns out...bum deal
Heart in chains; my heart in chains (2x)
Well I’m a real sucker for a pretty face
But every time it ends up in disgrace
Your pretty little butt is what I really want
But I fell in love and screwed it all up
Heart in chains; my heart in chains (2x)
Well I’m a real sucker for a pretty face
But every time it ends up in disgrace
Your pretty little butt is what I really want
But I fell in love and screwed it all up
Heart in chains; my heart in chains (2x)
I said you’ve got my heart in chains my friend
Done it before, you’ll do it again
Got my heart in chains my friend, yeah
You’ve got my heart in chains my friend
Got my heart in chains
I try to not look at you like meat on a rack
I don’t play games ‘cause I never have
People who play them always win
Happened before, will happen again
Heart in chains; my heart in chains (3X)
You’ve got my heart in chains girl
Heart in chains; my heart in chains
Said baby you’ve got my heart in...
Heart in chains; my heart in chains
Said girl you’ve got my heart in chains
Heart in chains; my heart in chains
Said you’ve got my heart in chains

Don’t feel safe outside (building up)
Getting taken advantage of (building up)
Having to wait and wait (building up)
Watching others slide on by (building up)
Just can’t take anymore
Eyes blinded by rage (building up)
Gonna lose all control (building up)
You’re about to erupt
When every day seems like a battlefield
Of trying to give a fuck
About some stupid selfish prick
Who thinks they’re better than you
While stupidity runs amok
If someone could give a fuck about you
It might stop the hate (building up)
Before all hope is lost (building up)
Feeling all alone in this (building up)
No longer can take the shame (building up)
You were born to give a fuck
But why should you care; you’re meaningless
People stuck in righteous ways
There’s only so much a person can take
Could society ever change?
Filled with fear, filled with pain
As if their minds could change about you
Hating someone different from you (end it all)
Jesus filled anxiety (end it all)
Feeling you have to be a man (end it all)
Think you’re without sin? (end it all now)

Blissful ignorace
“I’m not sentient, I’m not sentient”
Find yourself astray
“I’ve got value, I’ve got worth”
Bourne out of need
To do better, and do less
Running out of time
Standing there, watching helpless
It’s all a part of the plan
You’re becoming mechanical man
You’re turned into sheep
Stand in line, for your feeding
You can’t exist in this shit
Time is moving fast
The landscape is constantly changing
Grasping for your piece
Gotta make a climb on top of the others
Someone they don’t need
Replacing you fulfils their greed
Soon there’s no one left
Worst of all you led them to it
It’s all a part of the plan
You’re becoming mechanical man
You’re turned into sheep
Stand in line, for your feeding
You can’t exist in this shit
You woke up this morning thinking it would be okay
And before you knew it your life was stripped away
They entered through a crack; there’s nowhere left to hide
Now...profits climb and climb
Quest for efficiency and convenience
Fed on impotence
A hollow shell of yourself
If they could look away
And see people for people
Dollars in their eyes
They’re destroying humanity
It’s all a part of the plan
You’re becoming mechanical man
You’re turned into sheep
Stand in line, for your feeding
You can’t exist in this shit
You woke up this morning thinking it would be okay
And before you knew it your life was stripped away
They entered through a crack; there’s nowhere left to hide

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

Out of Step Outtakes

It's really awesome to hear the old tracks in the Out of Step lineup. In My Eyes sounds especially great here!

Rising Austrian band compliment phased-out garage rock shredding with eccentric synths and lo-fi drum loops.

On their ferocious self-titled debut, the Australian punks pit d-beat percussion against gnarled, metallic melodies.
