*** With A Microphone - Lyrics - Victims Family

Victims Family is a hardcoreãpunk band formed in 1984 in Santa Rosa, California by bassist Larry Boothroyd and guitarist and vocalist Ralph Spight. Drummer Devon VrMeer completed the trio. Their sound blended punk, heavy metal and jazz, making them difficult to categorize into a single genre. Allmusic says, "since its inception, the trio has refused to be pigeonholed to any single musical style â incorporating elements of hardcore punk, jazz, funk, hard rock, and noise into its challenging sound". They were known as one of the most musically diverse bands in the San Francisco, California underground music scene. Over the years, Victims Family went through four drummers and two breakups. Their name was taken by a piece by cartoonist B. Kliban.

I'm an *** with a microphone Shouting slogans into thin air Screaming at a demon A demon of my own making. I imagine my screaming can change the whole world. You just could not care less. I'm a monkey in a vaudeville show Dressed up in human clothes Staring into spotlights. And when the show is over I look up and I see nothing has changed. You just could not care less. I am just wasting my breath.
