Thanks much for the words, Lawrence. In which band have you been playing together with TR?

Loved your review. I think i might have more of a soft spot for Kill over Independence just for the fact that TR had just finished recording it when we met and toured together briefly. These guys were true blue punks that would play anywhere anytime for anything. We played a show in a small basement in Columbia Missouri. Probably the worst place these guys played and they gutted it out for the kids that showed up. I loved those sweet days.

But would the kids of today really appreciate these lps? I doubt it.

hah. im 17 i love this album as well as independence. if you see me you may even catch me wearing my toxic reasons t shirt i got down at the record store with the american/english/canadian flag. I get the same question usually, “Why do you hate those countries?”. And I always have to explain that the people in the band were from those countries.

I love this record too. The UK sleeve was unbeatably horrendous, hahaha
For Caroline:

“Break the bank”
Your loved ones tell you to get a job
Piss off, I’m not a lazy sod
I’d rather not pay into Ronnie’s bank
I’d rather make a withdrawal with a food stamp

I’ve lost my pride in my country
because of its wrath its tyranny
Big business rules my way
the little doesn’t get his say

A life of crime to pay my bills
Rent so high cut out the frills
Pressure builds and I’m getting old
Society’s ready with a plastic mold

Don’t fit me in with your middle class
Tax my wages kill my ass
Make me pay for your Star Wars plan
Break the bank to your Knees Uncle Sam
To your knees Uncle Sam
