Better Off Dead

The 7th song from Pornocracy. It was written by Chris Baltrus in 1998, and was said to be written in about 30 seconds. The song was meant to sound like 80s hardcore bands such as Void, Negative Approach and Born Against. It was written for a "semi-imaginary" band called Warehouse Value before it was recorded for ASOB instead in 1999.

## Appearances

* Pornocracy (Track 7)
* The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Track 16)

## Blurb

The music to this song was written in about thirty seconds.  This was sometime during the winter of 1998/1999. Shortly thereafter, the lyrics were scrawled onto a brown paper bag and the whole piece committed to my one-track tape machine.  Parts of this song are basically ripped off from every hardcore band before 1987, the most obvious sources being Void, Negative Approach and Born Against. Originally intended for the semi-imaginary band Warehouse Value, it was officially recorded in November 1999 at Runaway Studio with myself playing drums, bass, guitar, and singing; my good friend Glenn Erlandsen contributing an additional guitar part that seems to have been obscured by layers and layers of noise.  I wanted the song to sound like shit.  That’s the “punk rock” way.  The monstrous amount of echo on the vocals is also completely intentional. Since the song is about killing yourself, I figured it should sound really really scary.  How do they make people sound really really scary in the movies? Echo.  I’m serious. The Arrogant Sons of Bitches were so frightened by the song they included it on the album.  If it sounds a little out of place, it is because the rest of the band isn’t as punk rock as myself.  Screw “Noise Reduction.”  Screw “Pop Sensibility.”  Screw “Being in Tune.”  Punk is an attitude, maaan!!! Anarchy!  Society!! Amenity!!!  Androgyny!!!! Remember these words so you can write them on your book-bag. Capitalism is for sissies.  Be hard-core.  Wear a wife-beater. Tear down your tree-house.  Toilet-paper your school.  Use lots of hyphenated words like Greg-Graffin.  Tell President Reagan to shove it!!!!!!!!!! (by Chris Baltrus)

## Lyrics

Get up.

Get dressed.

Go to school.

Go home.

Jerk off.

Go to sleep.

Do it all again.

Get up.

Go to work.

Smoke a butt.

Go home.

Jerk off.

Go to sleep.

That's my fucking routine.

Go out to the pawn shop.

Sell your soul, buy a gun.

Take it home, say goodbye.

Point it at your head.

Whoever said life wasn't easy was right

Fuck living, you might as well be dead
Everything but the Pizza

The 10th song from Pornocracy. It was written in 2000 with help from John DeDomenici and the final line was suggested by Chris Baltrus's roomate.

* Pornocracy (Track 10)
* All the Little Ones Are Rotting (Live)
* The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Track 19)

## Blurb

I had a really bad day in school. A teacher that I had really respected and kind of admired took me aside during my lunch period and just pretty much yelled at me, called me a failure, told me that I was the most selfish person he had ever met stuff like that. He blamed something on me that wasn't necessarily my fault, and if it was it was an accident. But he was having a bad day, so he took it out on me. The next day I went to Washington D.C. to visit Chris Valentino with John and Dave. One night I was like "John, let's write a song." So we went out in the hall, exchanged riffs, pulled a few people aside and said "is this good?" and they said "yes." Then I tried writing lyrics, and I couldn't so Chris's friend suggested the "walking away/calling me gay" line which we kept. I ultimately wrote lyrics about the day that I gave up faith in everybody in the world and I realized that I have to do what makes me happy. To be a success inside, you can't try to impress other people with what you've done. If someone has high expectations, its easy for them to be let down. So, yeah, those are just a few key points in this crazy fun song.

## Lyrics

What would you say if I threw this whole damn life away?

What would you do? You'd get pissed like I owe something to you.

   I just want to get in my car

   And drive away to somewhere very far

   Where a beautiful world's not blocked out by billboards.

       'Cause everyday it looks the same

       It ticks the piss right out of me

       It seems that everyday you're walking away, nothing to say.

Its like every time I stub my toe before the starting line.

What does this mean? Fuck this world, let's forget everything!

   I walked for half a mile in the cold

   Just to find some place to be alone

   And what do I get? A bunch of pollution

       And everyday its all the same

       It ticks the piss right out of me

       It seems that everyday you're walking away with a smile on your face.

           So I'll take the problems on my head.

           I'll take the blame and save your ass.

           Kick me when I make mistakes

           Because you really are the best.

           So you can use me if you care, that funny kid with funny hair.

           And show me off to all your friends any time and anywhere.

           I'll still be left with empty feelings cause they never go away.

           And I fuck up everyday.

   I try.

   I'm just wrong?

   You're the one that's wrong.

       'Cause everybody makes mistakes

       Don't take your problems out on me

       I can't apologize, I'm walking away, nothing to say.

       And everyday its all the same

       It ticks the piss right out of me

       It seems that everyday you're walking away, calling me gay.
The PEZ Song

The 7th song on Built to Fail. It was written in 1998 one month before it was recorded for the album.

## Blurb

This song was written in the pleasant era where few barbiturates were not a part of my life whatsoever. It was written about PEZ, which I'm really not that obsessed with nor was I at the time, it just tasted good. It is essentially the perfect candy: it tastes great and keeps you busy. PEZ Dispensers are great things to fidget with. Anyway, yeah, I was miserable for some reason, because I'm always miserable for some reason and I wrote this song about everything going wrong. I don't know where PEZ came into the picture. This song was written about one month prior to recording. Woo!

## Lyrics

I’ve had a bad week, its a bad bad world.

No friends, cash, success, still no girl.

New life’s what I think I need.

Made a mistake that I can’t change

or fix it up. Life’s bad and strange.

I know just what I need.

   Cigarettes? No. Rot my teeth. Make my smile yellow and my breath reek.

       P-E-Z! Its all I got but all I need.

  No alcohol. You’ll make me fat. Make me sick I don't want that.

       P-E-Z! Its all I got but all I need.

Its cheap, tastes good and doesn’t smell.

With packs on ten, I share the wealth.

I like my P-E-Z.

Tons of flavors, every one kicks.

Its just a piece of candy, but I’m addict.

I like my P-E-Z.

  Coffee- Yeah, good but dumb with the diner’s $2 minimum.

       P-E-Z! Its all I got but all I need.

  Acid- No, not today. I got more than enough messin’ my brain.

       P-E-Z! Its all I got but all I need.
Thanks, Sorry!

Thanks, Sorry! is a live album by Jeff Rosenstock. It's a mix of 4 different live shows performed between February 6th and 9th, 2019 at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, with what they considered was their best performances chosen to be in the record. It's the only live album in his career to come to streaming and to have a physical release (with the exception of the limited CDs for This is What You Get). The physical version also comes with a link to a set of extra live songs, called Sorry, Thanks!

That's What Friends Are For

The 12th song on Built to Fail and the last track on most versions. It's a hidden track and a cover of the Dionne Warwick song. It was meant to be a song that would end every show but that plan fell through.

## Blurb

Well, we originally planned to end every single show with this rendition of the Dionne Warwick classic, and the audience would sing along and it would be lots of fun. Then we realized we needed to have fans in order to do such a thing. Regardless, it appears on Built To Fail under a number of copyright infringments most likely.

We didn't write this song, you dumb ass. However, if YOU wrote this song, please e-mail us. We would like to talk to you.

## Lyrics

And I never thought I'd feel this way

And as far as I'm concerned

I'm glad I got the chance to say

That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away

Well then, close your eyes and try

To feel the way we do today

And then if you can remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'

Knowin' you can always count on me for sure

That's what friends are for

For good times and bad times

I'll be on your side forevermore

Well, you came and opened me

And now there's so much more I see

And so, by the way, I thank you

Oh, and then, for the times when we're apart

Well then, close your eyes and know

These words are comin' from my heart

And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining

Knowing you can always count on me for sure

That's what friends are for

In good times, in bad times

I'll be on your side forevermore

Oh, that's what friends are for, oh

Oh, keep smilin', keep shinin'

Knowin' you can always count on me for sure

That's what friends are for

For good times and bad times

I'll be on your side forevermore

That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'

Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure

'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for

For good times and for bad times

I'll be on your side forevermore, oh

That's what friends are for

(Ha ha, that's what friends are for)

(Ha ha, yeah)

On me for sure

Count on me for sure

Count on me for sure

That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Kill Your Cats

The 16th song from Pornocracy. It was written in 1999 and had many different extended names, such as **Kill Your Cats and Eat Their Ovaries** and **Kill Your Cats And Eat Stuff**.

## Appearances

* Pornocracy (Track 16)
* The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Track 25)

## Blurb

I wrote this song on Dave's computer using Cakewalk just because I was super bored one day at his house. The sound at the end used to be produced by the rock organ patch on general midi products sounding out notes that were so high they were barely audible. Now we have little girls scream. The words were written after I got into a fight with a friend about me not fulfilling the needs of our friendship or something, and I realized how many one-sided friendships and relationships I've been a part of in my life so I wrote down these words. It was super quick and super easy to write.

## Lyrics

I'm not your "friend".

I'm not your "pal".

I don't care very well for your misconception of what friendship should be.

So when I see you in the mall

don't talk to me at all.

Cause this is all that you deserve from me.

A 30-Second song where I almost didn't say fuck.
Album Minus Band

Album Minus Band is the debut album of Bomb The Music Industry. It began as Jeff Rosenstock working on various cover songs in his free time while The Arrogant Sons of Bitches were on hiatus, one of which (Pike St. - Park Slope) would end up on the final record. The first original song worked on was Sweet Home Cananada. which was released in late 2004 to see if there was any interest in this project. With the exception of Future 86 and a few writing credits, the album was entirely made by Jeff Rosenstock. Due to the lack of budget and limited personell, the album has a very rough and lo-fi sound unlike most other BTMI releases. It also contains various samples from movies and TV put in at the beginning and end of some songs.

Where's My Sleeve?

The 8th song on Built to Fail. It was written in 1998 with one lyric written by John DeDomenici. It's also called Where's My Rectal Wart? and Where My Dogs At?

## Appearances

* Built to Fail (Track 8)
* All the Little Ones Are Rotting (Live)

## Blurb

Incredible songwritingmanship on this song. Joe came to practice one day and played a riff, I said, lets stop practice, I'm writing this song. So, I just wrote stuff that followed the riff, the song pretty much wrote itself. The only problem were the lyrics. I couldn't think of anything besides "Where'd My Sleeve Go?" because the song was called "Where's My Sleeve?" so, anyone who ever saw us play this prior to June 1998 knows that there were originally no real words. It was me complaining about girls and just screaming and dancing around like a fuck. Then one day Valentino was bragging to me about Nothing Rhymes With Orange being on the LI Ska Compilation 2 because their new bass player's girlfriend was Gary from Edna's Goldfish's sister. I THINK THAT'S THE STORY! Whatever, I said "When's the deadline, Chris? ASOB's gotta get on this." We discussed what songs to use and eventually decided on sleeve because of its incredible simplicity. Only problem was, what could the words be. I took out a pen and started writing on a diner napkin just things that rhymes sleeve/steve pat/that/at/hat, etc. And that's how sleeve was born. Then I wanted John to try to write words cause he's a funny guy but he's shy like that so he said "Jeff, I can't write." That was annoying, so I sat down with him told him to tell me stuff, made those words rhyme, wrote them down on a porno and he went in and sang them. Basically, this song makes no sense. But there's a reason for that as opposed to Mountain Dew.

## Lyrics

Where did my sleeve go? I lost it an hour ago.

My trumpet player’s name is Steve. Where the fuck’s my fucking sleeve?

   \*I got no job cause I’m a bum, my friends think I’m so goddamn dumb.

   I have a hat, I take it where I go, ‘cause I’m so fuckin’ emo!

       Where did my sleeve go? Its been there so long.

       So now I had to write a stupid punk song.

Where my dogs at? I love her, how about that?

Our old drummer’s name is Pat. John DeDom wears a dumb hat.

Girls make me act way too gay. I don’t wanna go to work today.

By hearing this you seriously decreased your IQ.

   First you want to love me, shit cause now you wanna go.

   All I wanna know, baby, is where’d my sleeve go?

Adults!!!... Smart!!! Shithammered!!! And Excited by Nothing!!!!!!! (shortened to Adults!!!) is the 6th studio album by Bomb The Music Indudstry. It was initially called an EP but the band has since reclassified it as a mini-album by the band members, similar to To Leave or Die in Long Island. The digital release has 8 different covers which are cycled when refreshing the page.

The album started as the single for Struggler released in late 2009, and was meant to instead be a series of 7" singles, but eventually formed into a single release instead. The album was recorded in only 5 days and involved the entire band working on each song, rather than various people working on various songs.

## Lyrics

Well, I lied to you again. I said I wanted to be friends and I said that it would never end but I was out before it began. I bit my nails and wrote away, I had been waiting for the day that it was the end.

The clouds, grey and covering the sky, barely let the sun slip by at about 2:05. Everyone was starting to cry. There's nothing that needs more explaining. YOU CAN'T RUN MY FUCKING LIFE ANYMORE!!!

I'm going home tonight to tear your pictures off the wall and I won't spend another night waiting for your precious telephone call. I won't feel sorry for anything I do because I live this life for me, not you!

Don't think that I'm gonna call you tomorrow to remember the days gone past. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... IT'S OVER! and you can kiss my ass and if I never see you again that'll be too soon.
Meatheads Attack Spencer at Nine

The 4th song from Pornocracy. It is also known as **Meatheads Attack And They All Fall Down**. The song was originally written in 1998 and was going to be called **Song For The Faggots, Queers and Queens**, but was changed on JT's request due to being offensive.

## Appearances

* Pornocracy (Track 4)
* The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Track 13)

## Blurb

Originally called **Song For The Faggots, Queers and Queens**. JT made us change the song title because it was really offensive. The song itself was about a cast party for a high school play where a bunch of jocks and thugs and assholes crashed it. This would have been fine, cause it was a party and everything, but these kids just ran around calling all the kids who were in the play "faggots, queers, queens" et cetera. They also broke lots of stuff, threw food and beer bottles around and started picking fights with the people who actually belonged at the party. It pissed me off and I wrote a song about it.

## Lyrics

Seems that every time I wanna have a good time

You and your wife beater wanna ruin it for me

Whether I'm at the diner, at the beach, or at a party

Bowling, playing pool, or rockin' out to Silent Majority

You're tough, superb, can you take me or can you not?

You probably could so call off your crew and handle it for yourself

But you won't, cause you're a bitch. Another 5-on-1 pin

Nike wearing lowlife, selling out to the hardguy trends

And what are you when you become another symbol of what seems to

Be an authority over the kids

You do the things that you hate when its done by the "pigs"

One day your system will collapse

And we will laugh when a geek puts you in a body cast

And I'm afraid to use proper nouns in this song

Because I'm sure that you and your crew will come and beat me up at once

I swear I'll do what I want and don't you disrespect

Or call me faggot, queer or queen or else I'll write another song

Aren't Saturday nights meant for you drinking in some alley

Not getting shitfaced at some party ruining all of my friends fun?

Just another bitch who next millenium will cry

When he opens up his eyes and is being beaten by a prison guard

And what are you when you become another symbol of what seems to

Be an authority over the kids

You do the things that you hate when its done by the "pigs"

One day your system will collapse

And we will laugh when a fag knocks you on your fucking ass

Throw the first punch, throw the last

Throw an empty bottle at the past

Whatever happened to unity?

(Its absent in reality) Drunken-- a stagger in the dark

The night was so much fun

When a cellmate rapes your ass

We'll see who's having fun

Drunken--another night alone
Bomb The Music Industry!

Bomb The Music Industry (often shortened to BTMI) is a punk collective from New York, whose primary member is Jeff Rosenstock. It formed in late 2004 with just Jeff Rosenstock and throughout its history had a rotating set of members. The band usually consisted of whoever was avaiable at the time for recording and touring. Jeff continued the DIY ethics set up by The Arrogant Sons of Bitches, releasing all their music for free under QuoteUnquote records and allowing fans to create their own merch or give out free burned CDs at shows. They also made a point to play low cost and all ages shows, prioritizing accessibility for all fans. BTMI played mostly ska and punk rock, but introduced a lot more influences and experimentation in the music with a constantly evolving style. The band announced an indefinite hiatus in 2012, and played their last show in early 2014.

The 2nd song from Pornocracy. It first appeared as the 2nd bonus track on Built to Fail+. It was written a few weeks before Built to Fail came out, but was pushed back onto being a bonus track and then appearing on Pornocracy.

## Blurb

The longer that the release date gets pushed forward on our CD, the more ridiculous this song is. It was in the slew of songs that were written weeks before recording *Built To Fail* and we didn't have the time to prepare it (among those songs were **The Pez Song**, **Margo and Jeff Get Dicked Over By Lots Of People**, **Piss Off** a song that has still not been released due to the band's disdain for it and **Animal** a song that was recorded, but John couldn't play the drum beat fast enough for long enough so the song ended up being five and a half minutes so we scrapped it). Go Ska! was about the slew of recent ska bands that arose due to the popularity of ska in 1997. That was a good time to be a ska band, that's when people started listening to us. Then, once ska died down again people stopped listening to us. Of course, this song had to come out in the year 2000 when everybody has nearly forgotten about the short wave of ska popularity. Some call it stale, I call it innovative. (Blurb 1)

Great reason of why we don't have two trumpets (or any trumpets) anymore because it sounds so fucking out of tune unfortunately. This is great though, all of the shit was totally spontaneous this time around, me speaking to the little kid, the lets go ska!s, the R2D2 noises on my saxaphone, the ska! hep!s at the end. It was cool, too bad it sounded terrible. (Blurb 2)

## Lyrics

I heard a rumor and it's hard to ignore everybody is saying punk's not cool anymore

So I called all my friends just to make sure then I went down to the record store

Took all my CDs of Rancid and traded them in for the new Rancid album

Shaved off my Mohawk, I got a bald head and a tattoo that says "I'll skank till I'm dead".

   No one likes the punks these days

   LET'S GO SKA! WE CAN START TODAY!

Politics Schmolitics, we can get some food and we can write songs about being rude

I got a porkpie, a bad attitude, a checkerboard tie and a three-piece suit

I'm glad that I found this sound

And I hope there's cheap tattoo removal when this trend dies down

   I wanna be cool the Rastafarian way

   LET'S GO SKA! HEP HEP HEP HEY!
Royale Fuck Deluxe

The 3rd song from Pornocracy. It was originally written in 1998, and the instrumental was later repurposed to make the song again for Pornocracy. The original lyrics were lost however, so it had to be rewritten from memory.

## Appearances

* Pornocracy (Track 3)
* All the Little Ones Are Rotting (Track 3, Remix)
* The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Track 5)

## Blurb

This was a song that I wrote in 1998 when my girlfriend left for college and said she wanted to see other people. I was upset, but I had to deal with it. Anyway, I later found out from a friend that she had slept with some other guy which really pissed me off because she couldn't have even have had the balls to tell me. I confronted her about it one night and directly after I wrote this song. A year and a half later I found the MIDI file I wrote for it on my computer and I thought it was really good. I had to try and remember the lyrics however, because I lost the original ones. I think that was a good thing because they're less emo and more funny now. I am friends with this girl now, and I feel really bad about this song, but, fuck it.

## Lyrics

As I look at the moon, my eyes are closed.

You have gone so soon, like the moon.

You know what I miss? The old you.

You're a cold hearted-fool.

You swore to me that things were still cool. How untrue.

The cards have been dealt and my hand doesn't exactly rule.

   As I looked at the sky, I was glad I didn't cry.

       Love-- thrown away.

      I'm happy that you are undauntedly mistreating me.

                   Look at my life you can't honestly say that I could

      and it would be better for us both.

So what now I feel sick?

I was right, did I have to be so cruel, like the moon.

Hiding away as the sun shows the pain in the world.

Now my heart has been broke and you're the one crying.

Is this some sick joke?

Maybe next time someone sits on your crotch you'll pray that he chokes.

      Months-- thrown away.

      You pissed on my trust and that's always the way that I'll see you and me.

      And as it stands now that's the way that it always will be.

      So we're done and in the end it wasn't all real fun.

      You're the one who ended up not being the one.

and as time passes by, its stands ever still and I just can't figure out why.

      Heartsick disease.

      You hand-cooked me royally fucked with tomato and cheese.

      I'm at ease, cause I don't care now.

      Have fun the choice isn't me.

      Good-bye again

      as I tell myself over and over that's we'll still be friends, but I know

       It won't be the same in the end.
I Pissed in Your Mountain Dew

The 5th track on Built to Fail. It was originally written in 1997 and is said to be the earliest surviving recording of the band. It has had 3 different renditions, one on Integrity and one on Built to Fail. It's the only song from Built to Fail that was still played after the release of Pornocracy.

## Appearances

* Integrity (Track 2)
* Built to Fail (Track 5)
* The Apology EP (Track 8/10)

## Blurb

This song title makes no sense. This song makes no sense. I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote the words. The first verse is about drinking urine the second verse is about being a rudeboy. The song however is the only song that ASOB has recorded three whole times, and its the only song that we played at the original show that we still play. (Blurb 1)

OK, for explanations of lyrics on most of these just scroll up and find the song on the big list. This was the first thing we ever recorded decently, meaning not on a tape recorder. Hard to believe huh? I think it was in the fall of 1997. It consisted of me on guitar bass and vocals, Joe on guitar and Joe Vazquez on the mixing board and acting as engineer. I was pretty nervous so I couldn't sing loud yet, and our equipment was absolutely terrible. First thing we ever recorded though. (Blurb 2)

This is just terrible, but also my favorite version of this song. Why? 1) I start laughing in the middle. 2) The unneccessarily loud screaming of "pick it up" 3) The extra dissonant octaves. 4) The drunken stupor at the end. (Blurb 3)

## Lyrics

I pissed in your mountain dew, you didn’t even notice,

are you that fucking dumb that you can’t taste piss?

Now they’ll rush you to the emergency room and give you a stomach pump

I’ll say that urine’s a lot better than eating all that junk food.

Its fortified with lots of riboflavonoids and vitamin C and shit and whatnot.

If you don’t believe me then you can drink my pee.

If you get out of the hospital stay the fuck away from me.

  You’ve been bitching all your life, dude stop whining. You’ll be alright.

Why do all the ska bands say pickitup they go

pickituppickitupickitup but what did I put down you fuck?

Did you think I dropped a beat? Put it down and its complete,

Chris is a veggie boy cause he doesn’t like to eat meat.

Rudy wears a suit and tie its 100 degrees outside.

Aren’t you hot or is style that important to you?

As you can see that 2-Tone whatever ain’t for me.

I put it down now. 123.

   You’ve been bitching all your life, if you stop whining you’ll be alright.

   I’m gonna try to make it through the night.

I Just Wanna Have Sex With You

The 13th song from Pornocracy. It first appeared as the fourth bonus track on Built to Fail+. It was originally meant to be the theme song to an apparent fake band called "The Monosexuals".

## Appearances

* Built to Fail+ (Track 4)
* Pornocracy (Track 13)
* The Apology EP (Track 20)
* The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Track 22)

## Blurb

At one point in his life, John was the biggest fucking womanizer ever, which is a shame because he's a teddy bear deep down inside his anus (john likes anus jokes). He was going out with this girl for like two days and then his friend for Oregon visited and he had sex with her after dating this other girl for TWO DAYS! Then John begged for the other girl again once his Oregon friend had left. He hates it when people talk about this. Anyway, I wrote this song about him taking advantage of women which he doesn't really do, but I thought it was funny. It was initially going to be the theme song for our non-existant band with Perry Carbone, the Monosexuals. However, being that we were non-existant, we never played or recorded that song and it became ours by default. (Blurb 1)

I think the solo on this is better than the one on Pornocracy and the rest...this came out really really good I think, its terribly distorted and fuzzy because of the tape, but it still rocks the shizzy. (Blurb 2)

## Lyrics

I don't like the way you cook

I just like the way you look

All you do is bother me

But I really want your body

   I don't know what I wanna do

   I just wanna have sex with you! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh!

   I don't like the way you cook

I just like the way you look

Your beliefs really hurt my head

but all I think about is getting you in bed
Sixknight

* Robot Mode
* Jet Mode
* Drill Tank Mode
* Hovercraft Mode
* Laser Pistol Mode
* Puma Mode

Hovercraft

Laser Pistol

Puma

Sixknight is a character from Transformers: Super-God Masterforce and is a character featured in AniCity. He's a Transformer with the unique ability to change into six different forms. It was this ability that drove him to find a worthy challenge, leading him to come to Earth in order to challenge the rumored recently revived Star Saber.

## Personality

Sixknight is dedicated to being the best, voyaging across the universe for a long time to increase his strength and skill. The problem with this boastful warrior, though, is that he really needs people to know how good he is, and if there's someone out there who claims to be more powerful, then there's no other course of action for Sixknight than to take them on and show them who's boss. Sixknight really only understands force, believing that one's own power is all that matters—the subtleties of fighting for something or someone are lost upon him. As a Six Changer, however, he is a mercurial, impressionable sort, and Star Saber's nobility intrigued this wandering warrior, which might even be enough to make him realize that power alone is not everything.

## Abilities

* Laser Rifles
* Sword
* Transformations

Sixknight has a very rare Transformation cog that allows him to take on five alternate modes. He will change into each form by calling out their corresponding "shot".

* Cybertronian Jet (Shot 1)
* Drill Tank (Shot 2)
* Hovercraft (Shot 3)
* Laser Pistol (Shot 4)
* Robotic Puma (Shot 5)

## Notes

Sixknight's story in this series is mainly meant to be a direct adaptation of his story in the original Masterforce anime, just with his dynamic with Ginrai from that series being swapped out for Saber; although it is made a little different by how, rather than be confused as to how he could have lost to a human like he did with Ginrai, his conflict with Saber comes from his confusion as to why a mighty warrior like him would waste his time protecting such weak lifeforms like organics.
Spitpile

The 10th song from Built to Fail. It originally appeared on Integrity and was written in 1996, making it one of the earliest written songs by the band. The first half was written by Joe Werfelman and the end was written by Jeff Rosenstock.

## Appearances

* Integrity (Track 6)
* Built to Fail (Track 10)
* The Apology EP (Track 14)

## Blurb

This song is literally about make piles of spit in the middle of the street. If you take velamints you can definitely spit more than you thought you could. (Blurb 1)

Listening to this song, I think this version might even be better than the one on **Built To Fail** mainly because the horns are both at the same volume and Chris Baltrus yells "we'll fuck you up" instead of "so fucking what". He didn't know us too well, thought we were a hardcore band. That's understandable. (Blurb 2)

## Lyrics

Looking outside, looking at the trees

and spitting on all those fuckin’ fleas.

They don’t really like it a lot.

I just say “so fucking what”.

   Spit pile, spit pile, spit it out, spit it out, livin’ in denial.

  Trying to think of the words to say. Maybe its not my fucking day.

       \*Blue shit from my fresh slurpee

       and horse shit splattered on a tree.

       Fuck authority! Yeah, anarchy!

       And this is what I do when my time is free.
...And the Flame Dies Out Again (The Inevitably Glorious Exhumation of Daylight Savings Time)

The 17th and final song on Pornocracy. It was written in 1999 and had a music video released alongside the release of the album.

## Appearances

* Pornocracy (Track 17)
* The Apology EP (Track 14, Remix)
* All the Little Ones Are Rotting (Live, Video)
* The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Track 26)

## Blurb

In short this song is about the summer ending. In detail this song is about how one feels when they are given an extended amount of time to do whatever they want and when that time is over and the chains of their occupation or school or daily life in general are once again cast upon them, they realize they didn't really accomplish anything with the freedom that they were given. I had a summer where I hardly worked (which is like every summer), and I just had lots of spare time to try and get something done with my band or make money or do anything. Well, I did nothing, and at the end of the summer I felt like I was worthless. So, this is about seizing the day and all that shit.

## Lyrics

Potpourri of uselessness.

Sit with much pain as I watch a summer go by with the boredom of watching paint dry.

Why this time? Gone away. Nothing good can ever stay.

Basic freedom, cigarettes and free pornography.

   It always takes so much longer to find out what you want, not to get it.

   Of course I don't know the latter or how to do the first.

   Once I occupy myself I'll end the hurt.

And the flame dies out again.

Gotta answer to someone else. Now emotions rear their blistered calloused heads.

I worked myself too hard by not working at all.

I swear to God, I'll get back at me once the summer leaves unfall.

   I always have a chance but blow it just like i can spare it.

   It can't pass me by anymore. Why am I sad?

   Out with the bogus, in with the rad.

       I'm gonna change my world, I'm gonna have a blast.

       I'm gonna rock and roll, I'm gonna play it fast.

So controlled by education.

Taught myself to think too much.

Look back realized I'm not so...

   Fucked up, ditched out, failed, won, who cares?

   Ate, drank, puked, shat, brushed, washed, dressed, worked, played, so what?

   I've got the rest of my life to do what they want me to do.

   Now I'll only have one set rule.

       Don't let another summer pass me by.
(I Must Be a Proctologist Because...) All I Do Is Deal W/ Assholes

The 2nd song on Three Cheers for Disappointment. Most versions of the song other than the original replace the 'W/' with 'With', but likely for space's sake it was shortened on the CD release.

## Appearances

* Three Cheers for Disappointment (Track 2)

## Lyrics

Well, contrary to what you think and what you've seen on MTV

You don't have to be an asshole all the time

Watch me as I take this knife out of my back

To cut wrists and throat, I'll laugh, bleed to death, choke

I've been used for all I'm worth, can't feed your ego anymore

Or be that friend who would take a shot for you

Why not do one fucking thing that isn't for your fucking self?

You'll cry and I'll laugh at you

'Cause I'll be gone tomorrow, and you'll look into the mirror

And you'll lie (You'll lie!) when you claim to care

"I can't believe he's gone for good"
"I wish I could've said something"

Don't kid yourself, you were never there for me, complacently

You down talk me and all the kids agree

You're irreverent as you feign respect for me

Anger and pressure build up inside of me

I'll explode and you'll fake a frown

So, are you happy now?

Yeah, you got what you wanted

You got your third second chance

You got the fifteen dollars out of your pocket

My last will and testament will claim you shall get

Stoned to shit at my, my funeral

And when I'm gone tomorrow, you'll talk to your new shiny friends

And you'll lie (you'll lie!) when you claim to care

"Let's have a toast to our old friend"

"He'll be there in our memories"

Go fuck yourself, I won't waste my time there

And it's so easy, and it's so easy, and it's so easy, and it's so easy

And it's so easy, and it's so easy, and it's so easy to just give up
Built to Fail

Built to Fail is the first offical album by The Arrogant Sons of Bitches. It was initally released on Breaking the Law Records in 1998, but the band was unimpressed with the inital release of the album and later self-released it with a colored cover. Some of the songs appeared previously on Integrity. The cost of the album was $1000 to create a 12 song album, although occasionally a 13th song is added on. A year later in 1999, four more tracks were recorded for the album, although never released offically and only appearing on various burned CDs and the Discography Compilation. The sound is a lot more hardcore and speedy than later releases, as well as being far more edgy lyrically. In 2002 the band worked on a remastered version called Built to Fail 2, but it never got released.

## Blurb

This is a song about the everyday pressures that my parents had placed on me during my Junior year of high school. It was time to study my ass of for SAT's, time to work as hard as I could on my classes because colleges would look at my junior year transcript, however I was under so much pressure that I really couldn't concentrate on anything. I wanted to end my life because it was so frustrating, never being able to get the results that other people wanted me to get out of school and tests and stuff. Its a pretty personal song. yep.
