How dare you come around here, how dare you show your face? You're no big fish in a small pond here, there's no room for you sir in this place So I'll save my speech, remain in chair, no laughter or applause It's been a long time since you've been this way, it's been longer just to build up my resolve You can't make it up with sorry's Hate to say it I'm no sorry Cause people love to say they're sorry when it won't do any good Why don't you tell me that you'll see me at the bar Don't act more reliable than we are. And when your years have shown and the laughter's been displaced And no pill or drink that you've got left is gonna put your horse back in this race I will save my speech, remain in chair, no laughter or applause It's been a long time since you've been this way, it's been longer just to build up my resolve You can't make it up with sorry's Hate to say it I'm no sorry It's just the same old fucking story and it won't do any good

I know you're out there somewhere drinking in that city air, eyes full of views I've only heard about. Someday you'll make your comeback. Dreams, like ghosts, drift over smokestacks. Fingers crossed, chin up mixed with doubt. Oh, I can't bear Bury this time capsule and you tell me what its worth to me. Buried. Found it right in the yard More-so than any song I've sung I still taste the words now on my tongue If someone told me life could be so goddamned demanding we'd have played it all by heart; this time capsule. If someone told me life could be so goddamned demanding would we have given up our parts?

Hey Burt, it's Frank, we have a little problem That Ernie's crematorium could solve All the split dogs, cadavers, the butterflies - they're all alive He tried to scare the new kid Fred on the late shift Told him the story about the tanks in the basement He knocked one, it leaked, now they're walking around stiff and blue The sunset is laced with yellow smoke The same that made Frank and Freddy choke And it's harder to breath No, they never should've meddled with those tanks in the basement Get the bone saw, bring some elbow grease His friends are hanging in the cemetery Scuz is having fun, the kids not weary Never seen a graveyard, never knew nobody that died. When Tina went to look for Fred at the warehouse She found his hat and then the Tarman popped out That third steps a bitch, just a heads up, now run for your life. And its getting hard to believe When he took the job his friends all said it'd make him a zombie No one knew how spot on they would be Just to buy Tina a ring That's the only reason Freddy took the job in the first place Now instead he's gonna eat her brains. I want your brains! Send me your cops and paramedics, everybody you got, yeah Cause there's no man, gun or barricade that won't fall if it's between me and you Send me your cops and paramedics, everybody you got, yeah You can board the doors or hole up in the roof, this towns a grave I share with you.

Assassinate the Scientist Gainesville, Florida

Assassinate The Scientist has been playing fast, catchy, four chord pop-punk in Gainesville since 2007! Originally a 3 piece their drummer moved to South America in 2010. It took 4 years to get another drummer on board and they snagged a 2nd guitarist to complete the package. Gary and Nick write songs about video games, horror movies, and hating everything. Nothing’s changed in 8 years! ... more
