about

Don says:

How many songs do you know that are about The Life Force?

lyrics

It - is driving me crazy
It - is driving me crazy
Tossing me aside
As I’m hitting my stride

It - what brings us together
What tears us to pieces
Breaking down our pride
Adding us up just to divide

Everybody needs it (Yes, I need it too)
Everybody needs it (Yes, that goes for you)
Everybody needs it
What can we do?
Cuz I don’t want to be
What I really want to be
And I don’t want to sing
I don’t want to sing about

It - is what keeps us going
It - but never arriving
It won’t let us drive
We’re along for the ride

Yo Yo

It - what makes us make music
It - when nobody’s listening
We know this band’s no good
We’d stop playing if we could

Everybody needs it (Yes, I need it too)
Everybody needs it (Yes, that goes for you)
Everybody needs it
What can we do?
Cuz I don’t want to be
What I really want to be
And I don’t want to sing
What I really want to sing

about

The Shut-Ups Atlanta, Georgia

We're a five-piece new-wave power-pop band from Atlanta and Athens, GA and practice daily at 6AM. We do more before 8AM than most bands do all week.

We're not about Pleasure or Fun. You may enjoy listening to us. You may not. You may pretend to enjoy us because others you respect seem to. They may be pretending, too. In which case you may want to consider what else they're pretending about.
