Shortly after formation, Kirsten and Phil moved the band to Oakland, CA, then later to Los Angeles.
1991 to 1998 saw the band release three full length records, three seven inches, one live record and several compilation exclusive songs. In support of their output they extensively toured the United States, Mexico, Canada and Europe.
Penelope Spheeris approached the band in 1996 and as a result they are featured in her documentary film "The Decline of Western Civilization: Part III", for which Phil recorded his first soundtrack.
In 1998, just as they were about to embark on a national tour in support of their newest album, The Gut-Wringing Machine, the band came to an abrupt end when Phil died from complications arising from his chronic asthma. Five years past. Five years of mourning. Kirsten participated in other projects, but nothing satisfied her intense anger and frustration with world politics like Naked Aggression.
Thus, in 2003, in light of the second George Bush's Gulf War, Kirsten thought it fitting to reform the band in order to continue carrying on the message started over a decade ago under astoundingly similar geopolitical circumstances. Since the reformation Naked Aggression has toured the U.S., and just returned from Europe with a new split Lp with, Die Schwarzen Schaffe, on Compary Records. Currently they are working on songs for a new full-length album.

Why Do They Fuck Up My World
Naked Aggression Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bloody wars fought all the time,
Business, drug lords,
Government. They kill us with their crimes.
Taking it all for themselves, leaving nothing left for us.
Why do they fuck up my world?
Fucking assholes deserve to die, hate them all because they're full of lies.
Tell us all that they are right, for our freedom we must fight.
Don't believe them, they exploit us all.
Patriotism will kill us all.
You better act now before it's too late, complacency will seal your fate.
100,000 dead in our latest fascist war,
Now do you realise what our government stands for.
Don't just watch it on TV, go out and protest in the streets.
Why do they fuck up my world? Fight, fight back!
In Naked Aggression's song “Why Do They Fuck Up My World?”, the lyrics express deep concern and anger about the violence, wars, and corrupt systems existing in society. The song highlights the evil actions of business leaders, drug lords, and government officials that cause harm, bloodshed, and the oppression of the masses. The lyrics suggest that those in power are exploiting people for their own gain and that they don’t care about the general public's well-being. The chorus of the song reflects the frustration of the singer who asks the question, "Why do they fuck up my world?" which implies that the world has been messed up by those in power.
The verses of the song focus on the manipulation and lies from the government and how it influences the people to fight for their freedom, which is not genuine. The lyrics of the song also express an anti-patriotic sentiment; the singer believes that excessive patriotism can lead to death, and it is manipulated by the government to suit their goals. Besides, the song's lyrics highlight the need for people's participation to demand change and hold those in power accountable for their actions. The call for action to the public suggests the urgency to protest and stand up against oppressive systems before it's too late.
