Rancid

Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California in 1991. Founded by 80s punk veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, both of whom previously played in the highly influential ska punk band Operation Ivy, Rancid is credited—along with Green Day and The Offspring—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s. Unlike Green Day and The Offspring however, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base, most of which was connected to its underground roots. more »

 Struggling with Whirlwind? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Every city got an artery where the blood breaks down
An avenue or a boulevard and a boy who wears a crown
Indignant live styles implies simply lack of means
Dogmatical authoritarians dictate the cities remains 

A promise
To go to heaven won't put salvation in sight 

Whirlwind is coming down on me 

When the factory shut down so did the place he lived
Blood money for junk bonds by a white collar fugitive
All the tax free incentives ain't going to help him now
Generations of job security gone out like the horse and plow 

A promise
To go to heaven won't put salvation in sight 

Whirlwind is coming down on me 

My old man worked his troubled life in a nowhere dead end
He drank the pain away I'll be damned if that's me having my dreams robbed
The working class carries a country that has been rotting inside for years
The rigs cuffed my old man in the front yard I saw through my eyes of tears
A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight 

Whirlwind is coming down on me
