Major labels blow all their money massively and blame it on the band.

I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.
Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money, and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.

I now believe that major labels can only work with people who care more about fame and money than the quality of the art they produce.

People from major labels were afraid to go to Black Flag gigs throughout most of the band's existence. They treated our gigs as something threatening. I'm sure that it probably was. They probably had reasons to be scared.
As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don't. I don't think the label I'm on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they're gonna have to.

Cheap Succes
We light a candle at your funeral but hell were not sad
This major opportunity is the best weve ever had
Well never come this close again, our own cheap abuse
This sacrifice youve made for us makes up for what we lose
We exploit the death of a good friend
Let evil make some money for our band
Can someone please kill my best friend?
Do you still have your virginity?
Were waiting for bad news to come to us and make us rich
Completed with an overdose, a perfect way to go
Our sales go up cause you are more worth more dead that youre alive
We exploit the death of a good friend
Let evil make some money for our band
Can someone please kill my girlfriend?
Cause in a world where theres laughter about others disaster
It can be wrong to use and survive
Inappropriate cheap success
We exploit the death of a good friend
Let evil make some money for our band
Can someone please rape my dead friend and tell me all about it?

Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we're not interested.

Money & Fame
Music :matthias jabs
Lyrics:matthias jabs, herman rarebell
You know nothing about loving
You lost somewhere down the line
You know nothing about giving
You should draw the line
You keep looking out for something
Something youre never gonna find
When will, will you show your feelings
You will lose your mind
Whos to blame my love
You play a dangerous game
Whos to blame my love
All you want is money and fame
You play, play with emotions
You need, need a stepping stone
Youre out, out for sensations
Dont you, dont you feel alone
Whos to blame my love
You play a dangerous game
Whos to blame my love
All you want is money and fame
Whos to blame my love
You play a dangerous game
Whos to blame my love
All you want is money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame

Labels
i seem to hate labels,
that defind who i am,
you can't hide from them,
they only seem to defind you,
most of my life,
labels became a pain in the butt,
being different,
from the time i was little,
can you understand?
what it is like to be a kid,
who is different?
other kids don't understand,
why you are the way you are,
it's hard to explain,
most of the time you feel alone,
nobody want to have an open mind,
it like i'm not from here,
people seem to like you,
for all of the wrong reasons,
hard to tell who your true friends are,
because nobody want to be an out cast,
we so stuck on labels that defind who we are,
but, ever though that not all we are,
we feed it power to take over our minds,
it hard to change,
what you believe is true,
yeah the world uses labels,
why else do we feel over powered?
but, what else can we do?
besides change the way we think,
easier said than done,
when ever since you were little,
labels just became who you are,
how do you break a habit,
you want nothing to do with?
because every single day,
there seem to be a new label,
that defind who i am.

Blame It On You
Shes got pizzazz
Like a razzmatazz
Id like to slide it in
But where do I begin
Wastes all my money
Spends all my time
I aint got no luck
Cant change her mind
Chorus:
Blame it on you
I cant stand up
Blame it on you
Im keepin my mouth shut
Blame it on you
I cant see straight
Blame it on you
Uh-oh, too late
I want a little reaction
How bout a kiss or two?
She said, jump back honey,
I said, no can do.
Why do you always make a fool out of me?
I cant get no nookie
Just plain to see
Wastes all my money
Spends all my time
I aint got no luck
Cant change her mind
Chorus:
Blame it on you
I cant get no sleep
Blame it on you
Im in six feet deep
Blame it on you
Well I guess its true
Blame it on you
Yes, I do
I blame this whole damn mess, honey
Right on you
Solo
Now listen little girl, let me explain
Why you got me in such a terrible way

It's a radical time for musicians, a really revolutionary time, and I believe revolutions like Napster are a lot more fun than cash, which by the way we don't have at major labels anyway, so we might as well get with it and get in the game.

By the Fruit You Will Know Them
By the fruit you will know them
Not by the pious labels worn
For actions and words confirm
If a man has been truly reborn.
Labels do not mean anything
When inside content does not match
So never go on with presuming
What you see is true, just watch.
People can carry many labels
Wear masks of odd pretensions
The heart will always show and tell
What's their true spiritual condition.
When the LORD Jesus comes in the end
Each man will be weighed in true Justice
For God knows the ones to whom He will send
Into the punishment of that fiery abyss.

Band On The Run
Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one nice again like you,
Mama you, mama you.
If I ever get out of here,
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here.
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun,
And the first one said to the second one there I hope youre having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no one else had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam, were searching every one
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run
Well, the night was falling as the desert world began to settle down.
In the town theyre searching for us every where, but we never w ill be found.
Band on the run, band on the run
And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

Sonnet: Why Blame?
Why blame the eagle for its swoop on mice?
Why blame the tiger for hunting its prey?
Why blame the drug-peddler for playing dice?
Why blame the donkey when it can but bray?
Why blame the wind that makes the branches sway?
Why blame the snake for its poison-fangs?
Why blame the sun for a hot summer’s day?
Why blame the police for the thieving gangs?
Why blame the night for being dark and cold?
Why blame the devils when they will tempt man?
Why blame our fate when we are getting old?
Why blame the Maker for how Man began?
Why blame the circumstances for our sins?
Why blame the tongue, whenever our words mince?

First To Fall
What you doing in the alley
What you doing my friend
What you doing in the alley
Are you lost again
Aint no good going down that road honey
Aint no good at all
Getting down on your knees just for the money
And youre the first to fall
No shame you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame I lay no blame
Just come back home again
Going on a road trip easy rider
One thing youve got to know
You walking on a minefield
Better watch your number
Before you know it you might blow
I can see the sand in the hourglass
And I can hear the last call
You better take youre chance before its in the past
And youre the first to fall
No shame you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame I lay no blame
Just come back home again
No shame you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame I lay no blame
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
Just come back home again

Blame It On Cain
Once upon a time, I had a little money.
Government burglars took it long
Before I could mail it to you.
Still, you are the only one.
Now I cant let it slip away.
So if the man with the ticker tape,
He tries to take it,
Well this is what Im gonna say.
Blame it on cain.
Dont blame it on me.
Oh, oh, its nobodys fault,
But we need somebody to burn.
Well if I was a saint with
A silver cup
And the money got low
We could always heat it up
Or trade it in.
But then the radio to heaven will be wired to your purse.
And then you can run down the wave band,
Coast to coast, hand in hand.
Better or worse, curse for curse,
Dont be dissatisfied.
So youre not satisfied.
Chorus
I think Ive lived a little too long
On the outskirts of town
I think Im going insane
From talking to myself for so long.
Oh but Ive never been accused.
When they step on your face,
You wear that good look grin.
I gotta break out one weekend
If I do somebody in.
But every single time
I feel a little stronger,
They tell me its a crime.
Well how much longer?
Chorus
