InfidelZombie

Nothing on the album is punkrockinger than Makin’ Steps. Jim shreds, Red growls, and the whole thing just fucking rocks. And everything else I’ve heard by Red On Strike is just as uncompromisingly rowr.

Lyrics:

Well I’ve been wondering if you’ve got the time
To fill the empty little spaces in your mind
Did you get your answer? Well honey I got mine
Your pathetic little games ain’t worth my time

Did you ever notice? I never lied
But your sordid little tales never seem to die
Are we on forever? Well honey, are you blind?
I’ll be makin’ steps that you will never find

Move a little faster, makin’ steps on down the line
I gotta hurry, I’m losing time
Gonna get some freedom, get so far away from you
And all the stupid little shit you put me through
Makin’ steps is the only thing to do

Did you learn your lesson? It’s about time
Are you still guessin? It’s the end of the line
You're a fuckin' loser, and honey I’m not blind
I’ll be makin steps much further down the line
And pickin up new friends from time to time
But you stupid little asshole I hope you die!
