Too Young 01:45
This life in the suburbs ain't cutting it I need a place where I can lose my shit But a bunch of old fucks tell me I'm too young What do they think, that I'll ruin their fun? I'm not here for the drugs I'm here for the scene I'm gonna buy some merch not amphetamines punk is for the kids that wanna go wild not these old geezers all tame and mild Because I'm TOO YOUNG! I don't go to shows just to get smashed I'm gonna bash my friends up I'm gonna slam All these "Real Punks" don't like how I look When did punk rock go by a rule book? So, fuck The Cobalt and Funky Winker Beans I'm gonna break shit at 333 Be a piss baby go ahead and cry all these fucking hosers deserve to die Because I'm TOO YOUNG!

I saw a kid lying on the street dead the cops came up and they shot him in the head The kid was black so he must've been a thug Even though they killed him just because I don't care about anyone but myself Life is meaningless without my wealth The police force is here to protect my things and incarcerate anyone that I hate I don't care if the world burns (I wish it did) Pass me a gun and we'll take turns (Killing kids) Accomplice to murder cause I can Your business ethics are a fucking scam! I'll support police brutality as long as I keep making money

No Rights 01:20
Politicians need approval Pass a law that doesn't apply to them Jurisprudence, for the wealthy Manipulation via duress They've got no ties We've got No rights! Sit on their asses, sign some papers When the fuck do I get my say? I can't vote if I'm underage Who's future is it anyway? They've got no ties We've got No rights!

My son ain't no fag My girl ain't a whore I need you to shake your ass, go around and flaunt my cash This is a middle class war... You can't go out at night And start a ruckus with all your friends 'Cause maybe the neighbours will see and then they'll all judge me and we wouldn't want that... I'm so dumb Life's so dull Be a doll What will they see? It looks bad on me What would the neighbours say? My girl will stay at home My son will be a marine They don't get a fucking say who cares about them anyway? I can tell you it's not me... You've got to go to class Get off your ass and get a job You gotta get good grades Cause what would the neighbours say? My kid ain't a slob! I'm so dumb Life's so dull Be a doll What will they see? It looks bad on me What would the neighbours say? My son hates my guts and my girl she's a slut There's nothing I did wrong I blame their fucking mom poor, poor pitiful me... I worked hard to give them food But they never earned my trust I gave them everything, capitalist war machines, I just didn't give them love I'm so dumb Life's so dull Be a doll What will they see? It looks bad on me What would the neighbours say?

I don't drink milk Got a lot of problems to fix in this place I wanna live and not eat a face I don't drink milk There's no cow that ever hurt me Curds and whey ain't something I need I don't drink milk I don't drink it I'm better than you!

I sit alone locked in my room all day I'm scared to admit that I'm afraid cause there's a war and it won't end today There's a nuclear threat and it's coming our way American Dream I worked for ten years at that fucking place but the economy crashed and it spat up in my face so now I'm laid off and I'm laying on the street where indifferent big wigs don't care if I eat They just pass by and tell me to get a job they laugh and point and call me a lazy slob the system isn't made for the working class we must rise up we must fight back at last! American Dream

I wanna lose my mind, I wanna lose control I wanna beat the shit out of everyone I don't know These bruises just ain't cutting it By the end of the night I want blood in my spit Because I wanna bleed Black eyes are cool yeah everyone knows And I don't care if I break all my bones Throw my ass headfirst into a post Yeah that's the shit I love the most Because I wanna bleed

Telephone 01:51
Down in the dumps, need a hand turn to god he's your man There's no way we could be wrong in this telephone game centuries long Telephone Down in the dumps, need a hand turn to god he's your man There's no way we could be wrong in this telephone game centuries long Telephone One million translations you think they all got it right? The metaphors were already so damn convoluted passed down through generations who couldn't turn the page society is stuck in reverse we're living in the dark age Telephone
10.
No Fun 00:58
Got drugs, got beer and the pit, I steer clear Ruin fun for everyone Cross my arms at the back of the room No Fun No Fun No Fun I'm No Fun! Go to shows don't give a shit Cause apathy is totally hip, man I don't care about the other bands I go to shows and I never slam! No Fun No Fun No Fun I'm No Fun! I'm No Fun!

about

When we were deciding what to call this record, I had come up with this record title based on a quote that I had read somewhere: "Maybe Vietnam never happened because America lost". When I pitched this idea to the band it was easy to understand the satire as I had just explained it to them, and it stuck. But we never thought about how it might translate to someone who has never met us, and how they might think we're another edgy right wing punk band. I've always believed that any satire that isn't obviously satire, is a misuse of satire. That's what we did here, and so it just comes off as us being shitty people -- in some ways we are for not noticing. I'm ashamed it took my partner telling me "you know it's kinda fucked up, right?" for me to understand how terrible all of it was.

In the end, this comment wasn't ours to make -- none of us are Vietnamese. -- and the Vietnam war is one of the greatest crimes America has ever committed. We're really sorry to everyone that it took us this long to get and sorry that we even did it in the first place, and we're especially sorry to anyone of Vietnamese descent for making light of such a dark part of history that to this day affects the people of Vietnam. It was mindless and insensitive.

In the future, if we reissue this record we will rename it, and we won't be selling anymore related merchandise.
