lyrics

You can barely remember exactly what happened,
Let alone predict the future, or what lies within,
You hope nobody will, recognize your face,
The classes are walking by in somebody else’s race,
You swear that you were destined to be anyone but you…
…know you trust the wrong people now it’s up to you!

Somebody tell us what it’s all about,
We don’t know it we don’t want it,
Somebody tell us what it’s all about,
We don’t know it we don’t want it!

I take my coffee black, no sugar anymore,
Deprived myself of pleasure, ah now we struck a chord,
You’re listening to me louder, I can’t speak when I’m blinded,
I’m wailing on myself again, it’s nonsense,
But it really doesn’t matter now I’ll be getting on…
…and off this train of thought, It’s doesn’t hurt so bad anymore.

Somebody tell us what it’s all about,
We don’t know it we don’t want it,
Somebody tell us what it’s all about,
We don’t know it we don’t want it!

You left yourself wide open hoping for the best,
When they took it all your eye-yes are swollen,
And now-ow-ow you’re jaded like the rest,
You trust it… and you hold it.
It’s a foolish fucking notion that you can get ahead…
…a head start only helps when you’re in the race!

Somebody tell us what it’s all about,
We don’t know it we don’t want it,
Somebody tell us what it’s all about,
We don’t know it we don’t want it!

And when will you tell yourself the truth? Look me in the eyes, accept your words are lies!
And when will you tell yourself the truth? Look me in the eyes, accept your words are lies!
And when will you tell yourself the truth? Look me in the eyes, accept your words are lies!
And when will you tell yourself the truth? Look me in the eyes, accept your words are lies!

The Brass Action image

The Brass Action Vancouver, British Columbia

Thanks for everything! We decided to call it quits right before the pandemic hit Canada. Check out our last show on YouTube!

The Brass Action was high-energy horn-driven punk at its finest! This 6-piece Vancouver Ska Punk band brought it for 12 years with Psychobilly, Rockabilly and Reggae influences! We danced, skanked, moshed, sweat, and that's why we were called The Brass Action. ... more
