“Gate Crashers” is the fifth track (and side one closer) on State of Alert’s No Policy EP. The lyrics appear to be pointed at both classic/arena rock acts as well as older D.C.-area punk bands that resented the rising scene that began to coalesce around Dischord Records.
You wanna die before you get old
Your red hot temper has gone cold
You guard the scene you struggle to own
You think it's a restricted zone
Been around so long, don't know your name
Your head is swollen with all that fame
Been around so long, don't know your name
Your head is swollen with all that fame
Your loving fans are growing few
With tunes so old, they're sick of you
Your hair's too long and so's your set
You won't be too hard to forget
Been around so long, don't know your name
Your head is swollen with all that fame
Been around so long, don't know your name
Your head is swollen with all that fame
Gate Crashers was written by Michael Hampton (Punk) & Henry Rollins.
Gate Crashers was produced by Skip Groff.
