The Blasters

The Blasters are a rock and roll band formed in 1979 in Downey, California, by brothers Phil Alvin (vocals and guitar) and Dave Alvin (guitar), with bass guitarist John Bazz and drummer Bill Bateman. Phil Alvin explained the origin of the band's name: "I thought Joe Turner’s backup band on Atlantic records – I had these 78s – I thought they were the Blues Blasters. That ends up it was Jimmy McCracklin. I just took the 'Blues' off and Joe finally told me, that’s Jimmy McCracklin’s name, but you tell ‘im I gave you permission to steal it." more »

I see you down in the front line
Such a sight for sore eyes
You're a suicide makeover
Plastic eyes

Looking through a numb skull
Sell effaced, what's his face
You erased yourself
So shut up, you don't let up

You have a growth that must be treated
Like a sudden severe pain in the neck
You can smell it but you can't see it
No explanation identified
'Cause you don't know, you don't say

And you got no reply
Hey you, where did you come from?
Got a head full of lead
You're an inbred bastard son

All dressed up, redblooded
A mannequin, do or die, no reply
Don't deny that you're synthetic
You're pathetic
