Melvins

The Melvins are an American band that formed in 1983. They usually perform as a trio, but in recent years have performed as a four piece with two drummers. Since 1984, singer and guitarist Buzz Osborne (also known as King Buzzo) and drummer Dale Crover have been the band's ongoing members. The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk. "Melvin" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name. more »

Yea, is living in the jungle, fighting for survival, but
There's no place to go.

Yea, there's pressure all around, the walls are crumbling
Down, the walls are coming down on you.

It is time we rectify this now, we got to see it now, got
To see it now, now, now.

They attack you from the right side, down the left side,
Down the middle till you don't know who you are.
Stay around, think it don't really matter, there trying to put
You 6 feet under the ground.

It is time we rectify this now, we got to feel this now, got
To feel this now, now, now.

It is time we rectify this now, we got to heal it now,
Got to heal it now, now, now.

Yea, is living in the jungle, fighting for survival
But there's no place to go, no place to go, no place to go.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer
Now there's no place left to go
Got to get off of this rot
Do you want to be born here again?
I don't want to be bored here again
There just ain't no resistance
Beware of those guys in disguise
Were living in the jungle fighting for survival
Can't wait much longer, hurry

They'll attack you from the right side, down the left side
Down the middle till you don't know where you are.
Stick around, think it don't really matter, there trying to put
You 6 feet under the ground.

It is time we rectify this now, we got to hear it now, got
To hear it now, now, now.

Yea, youth youth youth youth youth
Yea, yea, you you you you
