Retiring - Lyrics - A Wilhelm Scream
A Wilhelm Scream is a melodic hardcore band from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Many people have referenced Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Propagandhi, and Strike Anywhere as the band's similar artists. Their name is a reference to the Wilhelm Scream, a famous stock sound effect which mainly is used in films. The band previously went by the names Smackin' Isaiah, Koen, and Adam's Crack, though the former was the only name to be used in any major release. The reason for the name changes "from Koen to Smackin' Isaiah to A Wilhelm Scream was really a matter of them adding new members, and progressing maturing as a band". They have been called "the best hardcore band since Black Flag".

Another jog through hell, and why are you pacing?
We're not out of the woods
And if this lesson fails, could I pack up and leave?
I wonder if I could
No, I could not ignore
I could not abort
No, I could not afford
To lose what I am owed
To my esteemed colleagues who smiled when they met me
And hoped that I would fail
Forget the kind words told and the complimentaries
All you *** can go to hell
No, I could not ignore
I could not abort
No, I could not afford
To lose what I am owed
I guess I've known it all
But I could not refuse to go
No, I could not ignore
I could not abort
No, I could not afford
To lose what I am owed
Another jog through hell, and here we are pacing
We burned down the *** woods
I guess their lesson failed, one target remaining
It's back to Hollywood
