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.

American Way Lyrics
Circle Jerks
I'm living is the USA I don't care
For the .... package it's selling
Make it shine, make it shine
Do you think it could increase the market share if we raise the american flag
.......... you're talking about the USA
A sign of the times
Don't you get me wrong
It's a wonderful place to live
We got freedom, we got rights
Friday night fights
I'm living in the USA I won't swear
On that bible pushin' sellin' good old boys, good old boys
Try to tell us all what's good for our children
Getting bored all day in school, make it right, make it right
They can take the food right out of your mouth
It's okay, your pride and salvation
Spread the news across the nation
I'm living in the USA I don't care
......, ......., ........ on my front door
Celebrate the reconstruction of the Statue of Liberty
Show your fear, sergeant's in charge
That's the American Way!
They can justify
Anything they do
It's alright as long as they're waving
The red, white and blue
