They also raise a series of challenging questions. After four decades of heavy use, does punk rock still have any life left in it? Do Keith Morris and his gang of grown-ass punk heroes still have the goods?

They’ve answered their own questions with a resounding yes through a packed itinerary of shows and a handful of recordings that are among the rawest musical experiences of the new decade. Combining reckless improvisational energy with the combined skills of four deadly sharp musicians, OFF! have dug down through a decades’ worth of accumulated stylistic garbage, and rediscovered the stripped down core of noise, speed, and rock & roll that punk seemed to have lost forever.

Now I'm Pissed
OFF! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I had a bad dream
The sky was on fire
A witch puts a spell on me
And I was feel like dying
The sky was on fire
A witch puts a spell on me
Yes this was a bad dream
But I had my Mojo

Yeah, and now I'm free baby, I'm free, and now I'm free baby

I walked all day and night
With the devil by my side
An angel of mercy
Fell down by my side
And now that the night falls
And I feel in danger
My mojo will save me
And I will win the battle
Yeah, and now I'm free baby, I'm free, yes I'm free baby

Last night I had a bad dream
The sky was on fire
A witch puts a spell on me
And I was feel like dying
The sky was on fire
A witch puts a spell on me
Yes this was a bad dream
But I had my Mojo

Yeah, and now I'm free baby, I'm free, and now I'm free baby
I'm free, and now I'm free baby, I'm free, and now I'm free baby, uuh
