Utilizing a kind of furious speed-rap hardcore style that recalls some early Bad Brains, singer Dan O'Mahoney (later of 411 and Speak 714) ranted, sometimes brilliantly, about social pressure, desperation, and isolation. The featured track, "Don't Look Away," is a fierce straight-edge manifesto, containing the band's most central message: "Acquiring a taste spells addiction to me/It's safest, it's smartest to live poison free."

When Will It End%3F
No For An Answer Lyrics
A violent trend of thought,
And though we're in control,
Our joy is lost,
We must not become like,
Those who came here to fight,
Why should we let our joy,
Turn to a force that will destroy?
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)
When will all the violence end?
I have a seen a passive stance,
Turn to pride and then advance,
Into a state of social war,
Goals of the past, they seem no more,
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)
With bridges burned we can't go back,
Unobtrusive days are in the past,
We've sounded out and so must stay,
And disregard past violence ways,
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)
And though we're in control,
Our joy is lost,
We must not become like,
Those who came here to fight,
Why should we let our joy,
Turn to a force that will destroy?
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)
When will all the violence end?
I have a seen a passive stance,
Turn to pride and then advance,
Into a state of social war,
Goals of the past, they seem no more,
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)
With bridges burned we can't go back,
Unobtrusive days are in the past,
We've sounded out and so must stay,
And disregard past violence ways,
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)
