Pennywise gave away their album for 2 weeks through myspace. I picked up two copies of it, and it was solid. They did it when their independent record label Epitaph Records, wasn’t too thrilled about doing another Pennywise album. So Pennywise split, and did their own thing.
Here’s the first video (after the lyrics) for the new song “The Western World” off the album Reason to Believe.
We are the dregs of the western world
The steroid boys and video girls
We are the viral internet stars
And the anchor man can’t stop crying
We are the dead with the dreaded disease
The nuclear sons for you and me
Let’s go, all right, all right, let’s go
What the fuck are you saying?
Now I don’t wanna live here anymore (Gonna watch it burn)
We are the best and we’ll fight to the death
‘Til nothing’s left worth fighting for
In the western world
This is the end of evolution’s rise
The feeding frenzy of the uncivilized
The paparazzi parasites and the vultures can’t stop feeding
This is the face of our vanity
The tabloid death of inhumanity
Let’s go, all right, all right, let’s go
What the fuck are you saying?
Now I don’t wanna live here anymore (Gonna watch it burn)
We take the best and we spit out the rest
And always leave them wanting more
In the western world
We are the dregs of the western world
The steroid boys and video girls
We are the viral internet stars
And the anchor man can’t stop lying
We are the dead with the dreaded disease
The nuclear sons for you and me
Let’s go, all right, all right, let’s go
What the fuck are you saying?
Now I don’t wanna live here anymore (Gonna watch it burn)
We are the best and we’ll fight to the death
Until there’s nothing left worth fighting for
Now I don’t wanna live here anymore (Gonna watch it burn)
We take the best and we spit out the rest
And always leave them wanting more
In the western world
In the western world
In the western world
I highly recommend the Pennywise Discography, and while most don’t buy cd’s, their punk rock anthems are a must own for any fan of music. The latest cd included, check out the long history of Pennywise in my official store.
