I have loved the album "Young Lions" and this mantra in particular, for close to 20 years.
After constant abuse of the cassete tape flying around insidde of cars, boxes, houses, I'm delighted to be re-united with its tracks.

....jumpin here & there.......playing checkers with your own life.........That ain't gonna work baby"

This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard...Not just The Prophet Omega preaching, but also, Adrian's guitar licks are so intense as to make you sit up and listen............

late but worthy addition to the MLITBOG pantheon...
Today's music sucks so bad!!!! Rock and Roll is in what I consider a "Dark Age" so desperately needing a King Arthur to pull "Excalibur" and save Rock and Roll..........

I agree...for me it started dying in the 80s and has only gotten worse.

Yeah for me it was the late 70's and that's when I evolved into Neo punkIt was either that or the Hair band era .Echo and the Bunnymen,Bauhaus,Tones on Tail,Clash... etc....the bitter end for me was the breaking up of Soundgarden,Nirvana......
