I’m the Mayor of Mississippi, you’ve seen me on the streets/ You ignore my eyes, but I can see through you/ You come across the county/ You come down from the hill/ You buy my neighborhood but you won’t pay my bill/ You went and stole Albina, and you let Vanport drown/ I’m the Mayor of Mississippi, you can’t keep me down/ Lost a house to market figures/ Lost a love to measured numbers/ What’s now left will last forever, it is not for sale/ My family moved out east, they said they’d pay my way/ I’m the Mayor of Mississippi, my home is where I’ll stay/ I’m the Mayor of Mississippi, I’ll be here when you’ve gone/ When the school system has failed you, and you go where you belong/ I don’t need your salted caramels, I don’t need your brand new condos/ I don’t need anything, with a line so long/ I’m the Mayor of Mississippi, and you don’t know my name/ You search to find yourself, but you are all the same/ I’m the Mayor of Mississippi, and you don’t know my name/ I’m the Mayor of Mississippi, and you don’t know my name/

Nico goes to goth night, he’s got his shark pants on/ Nico goes to goth night, how did it take so long/ Nico goes to goth night, and now some girl is crying/ He likes to touch his hair, he wants to start a riot/

Macy's 01:56
I couldn’t take the pressure/ I couldn’t take the pain/ Of all the expectation/ Of all the poverty/ I felt myself sinking/ I felt myself drowning/ Looking back at nothing/ All my ideals crumbling/ I used to be in anarcho band/ But now I do the windows at Macy’s/ Kids they just don’t understand/ You can’t always go on dreaming/ Lost a few to heroin/ Lost a few to suicide/ Lost a few to new careers/ Lost a few to Jesus Christ I used to be in an anarcho band/ But now I do the windows at Macy’s/ Mom just smiles and shakes her head/ And says she likes my new haircut/ All my friends are going grey / We’re going grey, we’re going grey/ All our clothes they start to fade/ They fade to grey, they fade to grey/ It’s okay we’re turning grey/ We’re turning grey, we’re turning grey/ All our dreams they start to fade/ They fade away, they fade away /

An adult life spent on the road I should have just stayed home How did I get from there to here? The kids say music saved their life I think they just stole mine I got to tell the truth This hasn’t been fun for years I say I say it’s all the same I say I say it’s all the same I say I say hey it’s all the same Never asked for nothing else I say I say it’s all the same I say I say it’s all the same I say this ain’t no tragedy I never tried for nothing else This ain’t art no it’s just punk Give the kids just what they want What they want is to hear me howl and scream This ain’t life no it ain’t much Give the kids just what they want Keep writing songs about politics and human misery I say I say it’s all the same I say I say it’s all the same I say I say hey it’s all the same Never asked for nothing else I say I say it’s all the same I say I say it’s all the same I say this ain’t no tragedy I never tried for nothing else

OX Fanzine said:

Als Folge der Tatsache, dass die reine Masse an Plattenlabels und Bands umgekehrt exponentiell zu ihrer Klasse längst ins Unüberschaubare gestiegen ist und jede kreative Verwerfung demzufolge als unabdingbare Notwendigkeit zum Überleben verkauft werden muss, gibt es kaum noch Labels, deren Veröffentlichungen dies tatsächlich sind, die wirklich herausragen aus der Masse, die man getreu der altbackenen Phrasierung also praktisch blind kaufen kann. Taken By Surprise allerdings ist ein solches Label, denn statt allwöchentlich den nächsten Schwung Plastikmüll auf den Markt zu spülen, hat man ein Auge für die wirklich großartigen Bands, für die MANDATES, CHEMICALS, THE CRY, NIGHT BIRDS, RED DONS oder eben PISS TEST, die allesamt in ihrem Spektrum zu den Besten zählen und eigentlich mit Platin überschüttet sein müssten. Doch warum nun PISS TEST? Zum einen, weil sie Metal Mike Saunders, Anführer der ANGRY SAMOANS-Leichenfledderei, endgültig überflüssig machen und dessen Arsch mit ihrer Fortsetzung von „Back From Samoa“ in die ewigen Jagdgründe schicken, zum anderen weil sie dabei lässig auftrumpfend wie die RIP OFFS vor den Bullenwagen der Humorlosikeit pissen und mittels Rob einen Klassenkampf im Sinne von D.I. starten und einfach mal zehn Nazis in Ostberlin aufknüpfen, weil sie nicht einsehen, dass die ihre Steuern bekommen.

PISS TEST - LP I thnk I reviewed this band’s EP a while back when it came in to the rag, but I like this one a lot better. PISS TEST plays ragged, catchy, non-hyphenated p-u-n-k. They sing about getting jaded because you lost your friends to drugs or God. They sing about having to get shitty jobs and being broke as fuck. It’s the kind of record you put on when your friends are drinking on the porch and you’re throwing your empties at the shitty fucking yuppies who moved into your neighborhood and have the audacity to jog by your fucking shithole of a house. You know how no band sounds like DEAD MOON, but you can tell when they have DEAD MOON records in their collection? Yeah, it’s like that. (GH) (Jonny Cat)
