Lyrics
The Excuse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Buy their CD, don't care about the the lyrics, It's the music you dig
I believe, there's more than music in this place we call scene
We can't allow straight edge bands spreading a message of hate
They don't belong to hardcore punk with their nazi charade
Trying to tell me you listened to this and no feelings arose?
Trying to tell me they'll never get you?
No! Trying to tell me you don't care about a word they say?
Let me tell you music is just the excuse
