Circle Jerks are a punk rock band formed circa 1979 in Hermosa Beach, California. Lead vocalist Keith Morris was an original member of Black Flag, co-founding the band with Greg Ginn and recording the Nervous Breakdown EP with them before suddenly departing the group in 1979. Morris formed Circle Jerks along with guitarist Greg Hetson, bassist Roger Rogerson (a classically trained guitarist), and drummer Lucky Lehrer. They, along with such bands as Black Flag and Bad Religion, were among the preeminent punk bands of the L.A. scene in the early '80s.

Circle Jerks
glorified neurosis and a carload of explosives
our doctor friend's just a wee bit fried
ears to ghetto blasters, a prescription to disaster
an all day job just to stay alive
would you lick my palms?
through moons and stars
egg laying vertebrates peck green covered yards
heal my wounds cut straight to my heart
come on there, chicky gurl, let's blow things apart!
honesty and epic shock into corners under rugs
greasy dishes keep mounting up
??? can't be straight forward
cause you know it's not in their blood
as i try to negotiate my way through this lifetime
i keep getting hung up at all their roadblocks
would you lick my palms?
through moons and stars
egg laying vertebrates peck green covered yards
heal my wounds cut straight to my heart
come on there chicky gurl let's blow things apart!
as public's slaves to dethroned kings
transvestite brothers strung out queens
the chosen few most likely succeed
over there a sucker's born
mosquito bites and blaring horns
take his clothes
kick him out
then give him the keys
as i try to negotiate my way through this lifetime
i keep getting hung up at all their roadblocks
would you lick my palms?
through moons and stars
while egg laying vertebrates peck green covered yards
heal my wounds
cut straight to my heart
come on there
gather your stuff
let's blow things apart!!
