In My Eyes (Minor Threat cover) Lyrics

You tell me you like the taste
You just need an excuse
You tell me it calms your nerves
You just think it looks cool
You tell me you want to be different
You just change the same
You tell me it's only natural
You just need the proof
Did you fucking get it?


It's in my eyes
And it doesnt look that way to me
In my eyes


You tell me that nothing matters
You're just fucking scared
You tell me that I'm better
You just hate yourself
You tell me that you like her
You just wish you did
You tell me that I make no difference
At least I'm fucking trying
What the fuck have you done?


It's in my eyes
And it doesn't look that way to me

JESUS CHRIST SHIVER DOWN MY SPINE RAGE-ASM

I thing song is one of Rages best. You don't get Zac much more angry or self-righteous than this. The songs about wannabes and confused try hards whether they be drug users ("like the taste"), conforming non-conformers ("want to be different") or apathetic people who've lost the dream of change ("make no difference").

Zac you tell 'em...

I’m well aware I’m replying to something 20 years later but it needed to be said. This isn’t their song you plebe, it’s a cover. The fact that this is the “ angriest zac has been” is laughable
