Dag Nasty’s seminal anthem, “Under Your Influence” originally won a fan-submission Minor Threat contest but the band never recorded it; instead Brian Baker got his friends together and formed Dag Nasty.
It's hard to hold
When the world is spinning
Learned nothing from the night before
Or the weeks
Or the weeks before that
Under your influence
Right goes wrong
Under your influence
Crossed my mind
Under your influence
Right goes wrong
Under your influence
You've crossed my line
For the last time
Twelve ounces of courage
Makes the world look better
You love the attention
You never had it
You never had it before
Under your influence
Right goes wrong
Under your influence
Crossed my mind
Under your influence
Right goes wrong
Under your influence
You've crossed my line
For the last time
No safety comes from your numbers
Nothing said or gained
Shirking responsibility
True freedom from what?
No safety comes from your numbers
Nothing said or gained
Shirking responsibility
True freedom from what?
From what?
