3. - The SCABS - Social Critics Against Bullshit Systems
Tired of corrupt politicians, unconstitutional taxation, behind the scene corporate payoffs and society’s overall apathetic view of the American system of living, the Social Critics Against Bullshit Systems (The Scabs) reared their ugly heads for the first time in 1991.Playing local parties and garages until the mid-90's the band was almost disbanded due to member changes and personal conflicts, but in 1999 the band reemerged stronger then ever with a solid dedicated crew to push the band forward. Playing with such legends as The Dead Kennedys, Dee Dee Ramone, Marky Ramone, DRI, The Crowd, The Dickies, D.I., Angry Samoans, Narcoleptic Youth, RKL, Chaos UK and many more., help set the pace for the Social Critics Against Bullshit Systems, who are always ready to point the finger (usually the middle one) at controversial social figures and situations with their Drunk Rock point of view. The hard-core grinds and rhythms provided by creator and rhythm guitarist Andy Nelson and front man Johnny Armstrong, lead guitarist Brain Wash, bassist Greg and drummer Scott Rea, tear through your ears like the Southern California old school used to. Drunk Rock through and through. The bands Goal, to continue to break down the facade built by the system and help pass on the tradition to the next generation.

Woman
The Scabs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whisper sweet nothing's into her ear
Buy her diamonds and buy her pearls
Buy her everything in the world
And she my tell you you're the only one
That you're her sweet and sticky golden honey bun
That she'll be there until the end of time
Because oh she's a woman and she will do
Just exactly what she wants to
No matter what you say
Now you may say I don't like it that way
I like it like it used to be in the good old days
But what I say to you is true
A woman gonna do what she's gonna do
'Cause when a woman's made up her mind you know that's that
Ain't no way to change it and that's a fact
Yeah you can try man but best take it from me
That to argue with a woman's sheer insanity
'Cause you say do you want my honey I don't know
Do you want my money maybe so
Baby you so funny you better watch it bro
I'll make everything sunny you better though
Baby do you love me I don't know
Baby do you want me maybe so
Will you ever leave me I can't say so
Will stay forever I gotta go
The Scabs's "Woman" is a song that highlights the complexity of women and their behavior. The song talks about a man who tries to impress his woman with sweet nothings and materialistic possessions. He believes that by doing this, he can control the woman and keep her committed to him. However, in the end, the woman still makes decisions for herself, despite what the man does to please her. The lyrics describe how men try to understand women but still cannot predict what their lady partners will do.
The chorus of the song, "Oh she's a woman and she will do just exactly what she wants to, no matter what you say," is repeated throughout the song and perfectly sums up the general theme. The lyrics acknowledge how women have agency and that they should be given the freedom to make their own choices.
Overall, the song has a fun and upbeat tune, but the lyrics hold a deeper meaning about women and their power. It serves as a reminder to respect women's choices and agency, instead of trying to control them.
