We probably won't be playing again until Eric gets home from Ona Man Machine tour in November.  Right now we're just working on new songs and, hopefully, recording in the winter when James comes down.  Possible vinyl in the spring on One Eye and Raw Sugar.  -Bryan

All Saints Fans Have Been Purged From Punk Rock
When the thrills of the father become those of the son, when rebellion is just a youthful phase, when innovation and creativity are drowned amongst the baying of conformity--you're done.

Train-Hopping Parasites
Hiding behind art, behind self expression, behind poverty.  Disguised as liberalism.  Disguised as radicalism.  Now get on your bikes and ride.

40 Oz. of Social Skills
When you're stoned and I am drunk, when we make love it feels a little desolate.  It's hard sometimes not to think what's the point when I'm having to hold this fire down.  Because every recollection is fettered in the chains of addiction.  Let's just forget about it.  Bend your reason.  Ignore the past: fumbling intimacies, unmerited altercations, money in the trash, and words we can never take back.

We Don't Care What People Say
From the beach front mansions of Pass Christian, to the endless sands of Biloxi, in and out the countless punk houses of Baton Rouge, culminating in reckless filth and invincible stamina, despite crooked politicians and dirty cops--we rule this ancient city.  In defense of decadence, street lights, people.  Gulf Coast.  Fuck you.

No Gods, No Myspace 
A new design for relationships.  Relationships of distance.  Relationships that don't require meeting.  Relationships that never require meeting.  Evermore will we be engulfed in the electronic.  Starved of light, fresh air, fresh food, spontaneous movement, friendly face-to-face human company, human warmth, human touch, human smell--animals no more.

Tulane University
You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today.  But you decided to spill my blood.  You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option.  Now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off.  You had everything you wanted.  Your mercedes wasn't enough.  Golden necklaces weren't enough.  Your trust funds weren't enough.  Vodka and cognac wasn't enough.  All your debaucheries weren't enough to fill your hedonistic needs.

Crescent City Morons
(Really they're all) just nu metal jocks--heybrahs.  Hey, brah, you couldn't join the cops, so now what?  Sneak and drop kick fourteen year old girls instead of black people.  I guess they grew up around can't dance people.  A bunch of can't dance kids, living in a can't dance house, out in a can't dance car, with a doofy can't dance dad, getting drunk in can't dance bars.  You can't dance.  Homeboy, will you please get off the floor?  You morons.

Death to Irony
Now let's all cash in on the next big New Orleans trend.  Let's play pretend.  Now shake your ass like you saw on the tv.  Just how many black friends do you have?  And just how cool does that make you feel?  Congratulations, you're not racist.  You are just disillusioned, out of touch, and completely ignorant.  Defend New Orleans.  Defend its culture.  Offend the tourists.  Offend the usurpers.  We're gonna cut this shit out right.  We're kicking Batemon out the house tonight.  We're gonna cut this shit out right.  We're kicking Ballzack out the house tonight.  We're gonna cut this shit out right.  We'll kick The Saint out the house tonight.  We're gonna cut this shit out right.  We're kicking hipsters out the house tonight.

My Shitty Metairie Metal Band
How long can we vacillate between substance-less posturing and the embodiment of all that's loathsome?  In our hands violence is no longer a means of social, emotional, or intellectual deconstruction.  Jocks go out at night and pick fights from Friar Tucks to TJ Quills.  Open the parish.  Bomb the suburbs.  Cops go out at night and pick fights from Bourbon Street to Esplanade.
