Through catchy and horn-filled tunes, an all-star line-up as well as an indefatigable desire to revive ska, this band had seen much success on the US concert circuit. Sometime in 2005, this band mysteriously dropped out of existence, offering a 4-song obituary album made available to all visitors of their website. Little news is available about the status of the band, other than what can be assumed considering their website hasn't seen an update since December 2004, and their touring has ceased. This is likely due to one member joining the Peace Corps.

Angry Anthem
The Forces of Evil Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had my way, I'd never speak to anyone again
I gotta say, I hate people I'm so sick of them
I just can't stand the bullshit I wish I was so far away from it
I'm just stupid and I'm angry is it immature for me to say

[Repeat: x2]
Fuck all you Motherfuckers
Fuck all you Motherfuckers

Fuck all you Motherfuckers
Fuck YOU!

I feel so lame, 'cause that's the best I can do to express myself
It's always the same, say the "F" word maybe that'll help
I'm so sick of trying to fit in, I don't even know where to begin
I got friends but they don't know me, but I'd tell the world to blow me

[Chorus]

And there's just one more thing that, I have just got to sing ya
Everyone and everything FUCK YOU!
