timdarnold Fuck yeah punk rock! Just like it used to be made. Love hearing Greg and Diane's lilting duet and tribute to the "dirty flag of hatred!" Favorite track: You're Sold.

rtmgwt Dirty World by Old Death is the embodiment of all the 80s punk kids still flipping off the world and raging loud and rude despite their aging bodies. And it is also an uncompromising assessment of our times and how far we have not come.

You're Sold 01:38
You’re Sold An ignorant new world the dirty flag of hatred is unfurled You can only see the violence and the lies on the TV you're sold for gold you're sold for gold This land was never made for you and me to fall upon the blade of greed and corporate vice, Republicans would gladly kill you twice For gold You’re sold You’re sold For gold Democrats are fat cats too they sabotage the people's point of view We need to fight the greed Or this is what it's gonna' fuckin' mean - Death to you and me, death to precious liberty We DIE upon our knees It’s time to vote out the disease you're sold, for gold you're sold for gold

Sick City 02:25
Sick City All along the highway 5 Humans trying to stay alive Ragged tents and soaking beds To wrap the bodies of the living dead Hear the freeway’s lonely moan She’s got to feel so all alone Slums pile higher every day How much more do they have to pay It’s a city of the sick Human waste and it’s all politic Who can afford the rising rent Better move into a dirty circus tent Farther out on Foster road Can we send an unmanned probe Living rough is a sick joke Watch your fellow humans start to choke It’s a sick, sick city It’s a city of the sick It’s a sick, sick city It’s a city of the sick

How can you blame a nation For its very history All the blood that once was shed for a quality life for you and me We’ve let the people get lazy Gave ‘em screens to suck their lives Now they can’t think they can only just barely generalize The Deep State is a state of mind They can’t ge that far inside We can’t save ourselves in the nick of time The Deep State is a state of mind We’ve let the crazies arm babies Then take control Don’t try to count your own vote you’d better shut up and play the role They’ll steal it all from you - your life and liberty Breeder, slave and serf is all the want for you and me Where are we headed It’s too late to say All the prayers in the world won’t make the devil go away We’re goin’ under And by our own hand Looks like we’re watching the last gasp of man

American Shame They said it could never happen if you paid your dues Do the work and be more grateful that you get the chance to choose But choose what I’d like to know exactly what that means I did the work and now they want to control everything My vote, my voice and even my own body That’s not being free We the people are supposed to be the real leaders here The words of the constitution couldn’t be more clear But the GOP has hijacked our democracy They hate all of us who care about decency Election rigging like it’s all a game Making pawns from America’s pain There’s nothing in the world that can shock us anymore We were sleeping when they battered down the Capitol’s front door But we never thought they’d make it through the nation’s gate Underestimating all the ignorance and hate Pointing fingers when no one is left to pin the blame It’s nothing more than American shame
10.
The Tower 01:50
The Tower At the top of the tower sits an abuse of power. Nothing less than a monumental crime against the future hour. It was an inside job by the American mob, and their soldiers are poor and armed and wrapped in the arms of God. We're no better than this, we're just like terrorists. The Republicans are bombing kids while sucking at the corporate tit, it's a Congress of greed with so many in need, times up for the GOP's crimes against humanity! The American Lie tastes like apple pie, sick sweetness to distract you from the cancer that will take your life. So learn your history, and all of man's misdeeds, or it will happen all over and over again like a fucking disease. At the top of the tower Is a golden shower Underneath it you will find the bloated face of the orange coward It’s all comin’ down Right down to the ground America is dying right in front of us without a sound

Faker 02:15
Faker It can't speak but it's makin' sound, little lips are moving up and down. It's all hate for the nation-state, is it great or just American rape, can't wait for the latest fake today. A sick circus kind of cavalcade, took possession of the USA, it can't think but its shit still stinks, on the edge of a nuclear brink, the paper prints what the faker thinks today. All our rights are going down the drain, pretty soon you're gonna' feel the pain. You're not safe tucked out of the way, the cops are comin' 'cause they're gettin' paid, the faker wishes he was gettin' laid today. How can we go on this way? Every week is like the end of days Gave away our democracy So we could sit and WATCH TV The USA gets faked again today

about

It’s a Dirty World and Old Death uses no filters.

“Portland’s OLD DEATH serves up twelve cuts of messy, virulent punk rock. Dripping with more snot than an infected nasal cavity, Dirty World feels like an earnest ode to punk of yesteryear. OLD DEATH evokes the thrust and snarl of Back From the Pink Room-era PINK LINCOLNS in a serious way! The tunes are gritty yet melodic, with bitingly cynical lyrics with a political slant.”— MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL
