Danny Abbasi This album is a time capsule for me, as I was living in the greater Shanghai area when it was released, and went on to meet a lot of the musicians who played on it, and had the great privilege to play in bands with some of them. Favorite track: Girl!.

My things left there Waiting for me My coat my shoes my spotless gloves Putting them on Abandon my disguise Abandon all fear and became myself Down the alley Heard women scream First bubbling note of city's chorus The man turned Recognition rewarding Sometimes the night is generous to me My face My face My face Put on my face my face my face And I will not compromise In the face of annihilation Looking back on everything I step into the shadows with no regret All the whores and politicians Will look up and shout "save us" I'll look down and whisper no I'll look down and whisper no Mom was a whore And when she died Restricted comments to one word, "good" Manhattan's dress Left unwanted Learned to cut And donned my face Tricky Dick And the Keene act Incarcerated Under attack He to infirmary Me to solitary You don't understand You're locked in here with me My face My face My face Give back my face my face my face And I will not compromise In the face of annihilation Looking back on everything I step into the shadows with no regret All the whores and politicians Will look up and shout "save us" I'll look down and whisper no I'll look down and whisper no I will not compromise In the face of annihilation Looking back on everything I step into the shadows with no regret I will not compromise In the face of annihilation Looking back on everything I didn't have to be a martyr You know this city is dying of rabies Violent lives ending so violently When you walk down the street And hear the human cockroaches Talking about their kiddy porno And their heroin Do you really feel normal? Do you really feel normal?
