discomfort lives in my heart always been with me from the first damn day no one can hate me more than i hate myself it’s much safer that way i know the outcome and it’s fucked i know the outcome and it’s fucked nerves cracked with acid always be ready for the worst can’t knock you down if you’re already on the floor this is my best laid plan i know the outcome and it’s fucked i know the outcome and it’s fucked what would it take to fix this what would it take to feel secure there’s comfort in the known even if the known is poison mix it up with a smile i know the outcome and it’s fucked i know the outcome and it’s fucked you’re so brave, you tell it all now lay it out in the brightest colors you’ve got this is the lie, cracked against the boards this is the lie, crashed into a sign this is the lie, cracked against the boards this is the lie, crashed into a sign

when yr politics when yr politics are only reaction yr world narrows when yr politics are only reaction yr world narrows to the size of yr mirror sad to see you go this way it’s terribly boring but there’s money in it the grievance grift the shift of blame a sense of superiority but there’s money in it the lifestyle grift got nothing new to say and a thousand ways to say it

i keep trying to talk to girls and i keep thinking about world war III what else can you do in the heart of a dying empire soot from all the blowback, sleeping in a landfill whiling my days away til i die behind a bar i’m fun at parties! a real hoot! i keep trying to talk to girls and i keep thinking about surveillance my tv ads know i’m sick but don’t know what diseases i’ve got i’m fun at parties! a real hoot! bodies under the highways, bodies under the plantations bodies under the train tracks, bodies under the mines i’m fun at parties! a real hoot! i’m fun at parties! a real hoot!

about

TO PURCHASE VINYL: drunkensailorrecords.bandcamp.com/album/great-news-lp

"are some names crimes?"

ask my dad, he hates our band's name.

daddy's boy is questionably a hardcore band by folks that would rather spend time talking about their pets than actually talking about their music. they would also rather spend time cooking meals together than actually practicing.

what would a band sound like if we said "let's sound like void" if the guitar player never listened to them? or if everyone else said, "yeah, major born against vibes," and the bassist didn't know what that meant. or a drummer who said "yeah, let's just keep listening to that MOZART tape"?

probably something like GREAT NEWS!
