Heres a rad song by Operation Ivy! Oi! Oi! Oi!

The Crowd
Wrenched into the world, deanesthetized,
Blurry images fight their way through halfway opened eyes
Awakened by alarm, fifteen minutes of hygiene
Twenty minutes eating, thirty seconds to the door.

I looked outside, I looked into the eyes
Of the impersonal mob I've seen a thousand times before
Feeling under covers like books on a shelf
If we're scared of one another,
Must be scared of ourself.

More than just another crowd, we need a gathering instead.

Drink drink in the badland,
Liquid bread for the poor.
Another member of the crowd goes down
To drown at the liquor store
Choose your escape in the heartland
Of product and demand.
When you feel like a wasp in the swarm
You gotta get away anyway that you can.
