File Cabinet - 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.

..and stuck into categories we never made defined in ways we never imagined shaped by the words we meant not to say made into something we never were filed into cabinets and quickly forgotten only remembered when time is of essence accused by the pointing fingers we point judgement made on faulty assumptions look around, look away i can't see the light of day don't you ever wonder why it's gone, much too far privacy inside a jar i don't understand the reasons we continue to live our lives as we do misunderstood and lonely kid ourselves with things we think teetering on the brink
