Of all the bands from the L.A. Hardcore scene (TSOL's sound rapidly changed) the Circle Jerks were the band that had the lyrical wit/humour and musical chops i admired the most over the long haul.
Really queer me sitting here You seem so sincere Your daughter flips the burgers As you reach for a second beer Mom says grace, she's learned her place The cruelest years are on her face Two car garage, a master charge Her tits aren't firm, at least they're large
Murder the disturbed And all those perturbed Kill the democrats Support tuition tax
You served a meal, you spoke with zeal You think you've still sex appeal Your daughter serves desert As you enact your biggest deal Success has shown a second home The kids are cute, how they've grown One is dead, one's on reds She goes to school, she's too well fed
Murder the disturbed And all those perturbed Kill the democrats Reinstate the draft Murder the disturbed

Good shout Andy. I need to investigate Circle Jerks more. I like everything I've heard
They first entered my world when I saw their appearance in Repo Man
When The Shit Hits The Fan

...Chuck Berry, actually asked the Circle Jerks if he could get on stage and rock with them, fact fans. Knowing what a oddball perfectionist loon he was, that's quite a compliment.

This was the first song i heard from the Circle Jerks, included on the classic 'Let Them Eat Jellybeans' compilation that Jello Biafra put together back in 1981
I hope you’re having fun. Where’s your uniform? Where’s your gun? Better rub up that suntan oil ’cause you’ll be fighting in the hot sun.
It’s not..Vietnam, just another oil company scam. Salute that flag of Uncle Sam. Get your money out, place your bets… it’s Afghanistan!
Fix bayonets, check grenades. Got enough bullets, got enough rounds to wipe out this place? Where the infantry & the cavalry parachutes fill the sky, bodies burn and people die.
