Hard As 01:26
The muscles flex so hard The music gets lost Trying so hard to be tough But what comes across? Bigotry and violence Achievements to be proud But who gives a fuck As long as the music’s loud An idea whose time has come - it came and went, sorry guys Oh, so, harder than harder than hard So unconcerned with your actions So unconcerned with this divisive show of force Where are the ideas to be retrieved? They’re nowhere. And there’s nothing left Fucking nothing at all

Our Scene 00:17
Blindfolded youth afraid to hear Others speak their mind Accepted conditions – Acceepted topics Nothing left to talk about Scene full of violence Closed ears & minds Hang out with your friends and weapons NY? Who gives a shit...

On the need to need I think I do And I'll never see how that's wrong Try to deny humanity – Silly human Wake up and your whole life will be gone Another human, looking towards the heavens So above and aloof with self-centered "purity" On the need to hold, to touch I'll please guilty But your courts emit no judgements to which I'll abide The folly you use to divide falls flat Give no reason to pretend or to hide Reaching for the stars Another goddamn human Such a shame Do books define your feelings? On the need to be Existence So often such a trying task But when desire falls victim To repression How long will this "virtue" last Trying to prolong life - Wishful thinking So above aloof Just another human

Decide 01:08
Made a date and broke it once again, should I have been surprised? Yet I dropped by your work just to talk And you gave me those eyes Oh that smile & silver tongue worked overtime But why can't I rely? You've got me on this roller coaster ride Why can't you just decide? Maybe you feel it And maybe you don't Tell me you will when I know that you won't Should I learned by now to never trust that feeling inside Well, somehow - I think I'll survive Spent last night sitting in and playing records And waiting for you to call But not a ring did happen, man You knew that I was home These expectations I place Built up a certain feeling in my mind Yet in actual practice and no more theories Once again I'm left behind Does it at all make sense? Maybe you feel it And maybe you don't Tell me you will when I know that you won't It's a letdown But I'll survive Somehow - I think I'll survive

Why Suffer? 00:43
We read along and turn the pages to see the last chapter in this book And I... see no regrets I’ve got no need for this world It’s just not made for me Eyes wide open I see for the first time Life and death have no meaning and I realize Why suffer when it’s all in your head? Candles aboud, and these tears of emptyness The meanings lost behind a veil of propriety Why live a life so irrationably based? The end faces us all It’s not too much to grasp

This life's not for apologies, excuses or justifications It's not for running or hiding or pretending to be anything at all Stand hard against their lies Never compromise the position Why not be Gay and be loud? It's time to fight discrimination We're not sick or perverted Don't need pity or patronization We're queer now and always were No matter what idiocy you say We cannot rest So much to do The rights you take for granted Are ones you never knew Working for a day of peace for Lesbians and Gays and a world where no one is afraid to say I am what I am - nothing more, nothing less A day to fight for A day to strive for

GATES! OF! HELL!

Me and John Jersey We needed a laugh So down we went to Giants Training Camp We got some pictures and we got some autographs We met the Giants at Giants training camp Giants Training Camp Giants Training Camp Giants Training Camp Camp

Just Say GO! 00:23
I've got not time to sit down No time to waste I've got so much to do Ain't got not time to wait No, I can't spare no time for you 'Cos you move way too slow I've got no time to stay I've just got time to go - GO!

about

Recorded after GO!'s 1990 US tour with Bad Trip, "Why Suffer?" was our third 7"ep. This and "Your Power Means Nothing" are most probably our best recordings. Listening to this is like being a train going very, very fast and just BARELY being able to hang on.

We thought this was the end, but it wasn't. The 1991 European tour was next, then another ep, and things came and went over the years.

"Why Suffer?" was released on Forefront Records in 1990 (the same label that Sacred Denial were on). There was one printing of 2,550 copies.

Download comes with covers and original lyric and photo spread.
