Forming Lyrics

Chorus:
Rip them down
Hold them up
Tell them that
I'm your gun
Pull my trigger
I'm bigger than--


Mr. Prez in his big white house
Listen he sez we're coming out
Infiltration-- we're numbing your minds
Concentration-- we've done time

Chorus

Over there the queen she sez
Let's stamp them out and dry those tears
Saturation-- we want it in taxes
Flagellation-- we've got gashes

Chorus

In the cold, the czar's claimin
Just protectin rockets aimin
Alteration-- the Earth is changin
Observation-- we want action

Chorus

I the Emperor proclaim
Us the masters we rule this game
Inclination-- somethin to dream on
Deprivation-- we are sons

Chorus


Mr. Prez in his big white house
Listen he sez we're coming out
Infiltration-- we're numbing your minds
Concentration-- we've done time

Chorus

Over there the queen she sez
Let's stamp them out and dry those tears
Saturation-- we want it in taxes
Flagellation-- we've got gashes

Chorus

In the cold, the czar's claimin
Just protectin rockets aimin
Alteration-- the Earth is changin
Observation-- we want action

Chorus

I the Emperor proclaim
Us the masters we rule this game
Inclination-- somethin to dream on
Deprivation-- we are sons

Chorus

Anyone, Anytime, Anyhow
Whoever will buy this shit
Were the fucking Germs
Their playin it all wrong
The drums are too slow, the bass is too fast
The chords are wrong
He's makeing the beat too wrong
Aww i quit

The Germs were a classic LA punk rock band formed in 1977, disbanded in 1980. Their fast spit-and-blood punk rock sound mixed with singer Darby Crash’s (real name Jan Paul Beahm) highly literate and dark poetic lyrics made them, to many, one of the most distinctive bands in the entire punk scene. The Germs are still remembered by fans as being among the best in the genre. They disbanded when Crash, after long bouts with drug addiction and self-destructive behavior, committed suicide at age 22 on December 7, 1980. The Germs’ 1977 single, Forming/Sexboy (live), is generally regarded as the first punk record from Los Angeles.

The band started when Jan Paul Beahm and Georg Ruthenberg decided they should start a band after being kicked out of University High for antisocial behaviour, allegedly for using ‘mind control’ on fellow students. They named themselves “Sophistifuck & The Revlon Spam Queens,” with Beahm (then ‘Bobby Pyn,’ and later Darby Crash) on vocals, Ruthenberg (then and later called Pat Smear) on guitar, an early member called Dinky on bass, and Michelle Baer playing drums. This lineup never played live.

In April ‘77 the band featured its final bassist, Lorna Doom, with transitional member Dottie Danger on drums, later famous under her own name as Belinda Carlisle of The Go-Go’s (Carlisle never played live, due to her being sidelined by a bout of mononucleosis for an extended period, although she can be heard introducing the band on the Live At The Whiskey recording), and was soon replaced by Donna Rhia, who played three gigs and recorded their first single. Nicky Beat, of various noteworthy LA bands, then sat in for a time. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
