We shop at Walmart, Kroger, 10 for 10, it's cheaper than food My time is short, my patience thin, It's rotting my mood We've got gridlock, road rage, and bad attitudes I kinda get the feeling that we're all getting screwed   We've got the lowest BMI on screens and the magazines Hey no wonder why the little girls have low self esteem Now its suburbia, Xanax, and Bow-flex machines So sick of this TV culture that is slowly killing me   So toxic, only corporate deodorant can save my pits So stinky, this credit line the government feeds me with   She's got 3 karats on her finger, Does she got gynie bling? I juice 3 carrots in the morning To protect from this cancerous living

Wanna check your crankset Wanna feel your bottom bracket and your head tube   Sliding down your dropouts I can service your drivetrain, baby And your top tube Is longer than all the others   Gotta modify my fork Put it on your 29'er And it feels so sweet Ain't another frame finer   Wanna bang, Gary Fisher? GOT TO DO GARY FISHER Gary Fisher, Gary Fisher done.

Fuck Chico 02:05
The windows are boarded, There's blood on the walls, A half-dead cat begs me for food with her claws We've run out of gas and we've got to stay here Sierra Nevada can't pour enough beer They're wild in their eyes and they're on LSD A flea jumps from half-dead Cat onto my sleeve I'll sleep on the porch, You'll sleep on the lawn You'll get the rash, But I'll be stabbed by dawn.   Fuck Chico! I'm never goin' back again Fuck Chico! I'm never goin' back again   You call me at 7:00, there's fear in your voice You want to come home but you don't have a choice I try to console you, my words are in vain Your bandmates are zombies, they're gnawing your brain   Fuck Chico, I'm never goin' back again!

Caleb: he told me on Facebook I didn't believe it I had to look Government cannot be trusted Extra terrestrial busted They're coming in pods by the dozens Our nuclear weapons can't save of now Crop circles fields are infected Alien life forms detected No it's not Yes it is... ALIENS FLYING OVER CHINATOWN

Bail Out 01:50
I hear Canada is nice... Let's get out while we still can That's change I can believe in   Bail OUT Bail out Fall out Far house Bears out Enjoy the nuclear winter from afar Axe in hand, The zombies will not find us here Addiction to dino oil Ravaging our resources Let's get out while we still can No one can make me think twice Twice   Axe in hand, The zombies will not find us here Not my problem anymore

Went to Plum Market, Got pee on my butt Shouldn't have left the house, ‘Cause I'm dressed like a slut You look fine on a bike, Just don't tell me your age Scissor me timbers in a Live mammal cage   Tried to go to work, But my bike ate my foot Now my ankle's in a cast, And my summer's ka-put Should’ve played HOOKY But I needed the cash Now foreclosure's on the brink And this money won't last Pretending I'm a bawler Down at the 8 ball Porkins cut me off ‘Cause I puked in the hall Now I'm walking home alone ‘Cause I don't have my keys And I don't remember how I got bloody knees On a scale of 1-10 She was fully a 9 Jotted down her number, Said to call me sometime But the note flew out the window, Now I don't have a shot And I'm searching through the gutters So we can wiki-wiki, wah-wah

On your knees, fuckin' dead I've got a bag full of babies 'Cause my zombies need fed   Float away on a giant clam You can push me if you're a mermaid or just a merman   On your knees, fuckin' dead there is a fat man crying and he's giving me head   That's the kind of dream you don't share Keep it to yourself, I don't care Tell it to your pillow, not me Ho-ho-homie

about

Once upon a time Laura and Jess were sick of not being in a band and casually walked up to Kevin and said, “Hey you want to start a band with us called Scissor Now!?”
Kevin liked the name. He also liked these two and enjoyed the music they used to play, so he said, “Yes”.
They started on a Tuesday.
Two years later they recorded a album (this one). Laura moved out of town, but Scissor Now! Couldn't die and Jef Porkins was asked to play bass. He, just like Kevin so long ago, said “Yes”. At one point, Adrienne Berry joined the band playing sax as well, it was beautiful, but short lived. She moved away.
Jef, Jess and, Kevin continue to play as Scissor Now! to this day.

about

Scissor Now! Ann Arbor, Michigan

We're from Ann Arbor, MI. Describing our sound is usually a futile exercise as our perspective from the inside is quite different from yours on the outside. Jazz drums, punk bass, and pop vocals w/ a sax lead. Let us know what you think we sound like, it's always interesting to hear. Sometimes they’re flattering, sometimes it's just a band with a saxophone. One thing we know is, we're not ska. ... more
