about

This one is a consolation song for the punks. There has never been one clear consensus on what it means to be "punk" in the last 40 years, but one thing is clear — the notion of fucking shit up and obliterating everything in your path is increasingly seen as unsustainable if not philosophically juvenile. Yet, there is an undeniable punk rock quality to destroying things. This song is a call to reignite the flames of any aged punk rockers who feel their "search and destroy" way of life is viewed with increasing dubiousness by a subculture that continues to skew more progressive and politically correct. It aims to refocus punk's scorn to destroy the unsustainable – the things that are slowly hurting this world, while at the same time protecting certain possessions we consent are sacred. However, at the end of the song, we start to get lazy and we call to destroy some things we should probably figure out a way to keep.

lyrics

there is still so much left to destroy
there is still so much left to destroy
(or we’re all gonna end up looking like burnt out toaster ovens)

it’s a weird argument for punk rock
we’ll have to handle all of our belongings with care
and make the jeans last, make the stains classic
we’re gonna get more materialistic

there is still so much left to destroy
junk mail direct marketing campaigns
there is still so much left to destroy
who are you to own plot of grave?

you’ll have to strap your guitar close to your heart
and make less unrepairable electronics
and put your food in rottable containers
and stop building floating garbage islands

there is still so much left to destroy
we’ll still decimate 30 packs
there is still so much left to destroy
we’ll still all destroy our teeth

destroy the preconceived
mythologize all religious texts
and fuck your assumptions

there is still so much left to destroy
mint-in-package figurine collections
there is still so much left to destroy
not all CRTs can be chandeliers
