Music Over Matter

Lyrics by Soller-Mihlek
Wake up! Have we forgotten what the show was for?
Listen! before you shut me out with your VIP door!
It used to be that nosebleeds came from sharp elbows
Now we're stuck in nosebleed seats suffering from vertigo
We used to walk up to the band to shake their hands
Now you can't get any where near them without a pass
Music over matter! Music over matter!
The records sweat of pile-ons and the feedback screams the discord
Yet those who feel and long to see it can't even afford the ticket
If all we could get is one wish, it's art that spits out the anguish
Trend after trend, like after like, wealth's taken our truth and put it court side
Wake up! Have we forgotten what the show was for?
Listen, listen, listen before you shut me out with your VIP door!
MUSIC OVER MATTER! MUSIC OVER MATTER!

Lyrics by Kat Wong
We don't have to fade into day
Better late than never to your own masquerade
How fortunate to live day by day
You don't have to, they don't have to
We don't have to fade
You don't have to, they don't have to
To fade into day

Lyrics by Soller-Mihlek
I'm not flattered
You can't touch me
I don't wanna know
You just wanna, you just wanna
Just shut up now
Mind your p's and q's
Keep your hands off me and my high-heeled shoes
I am not your treble, "baby," you are not my bass!
Why can't I walk down the street free of suggestion??
I'm not flattered!
I am not your treble, baby, you are not my bass
Lurking on the corner every morning
I won't be quiet, I won't be nice!
You can take this as your warning
And don't make me tell you twice!
Cool story, bro.
I'm not flattered, you can't touch me
I don't wanna know, you just wanna, you just wanna!
Just shut up now, mind you p's and q's
Keep your hands off me and my high-heeled shoes!
I am not your treble, baby, you are not my bass
I am not your treble, baby, you are not, you are not, not my bass!

Lyrics by Soller-Mihlek
"Stand clear of the closing doors, please."
All times, all times until Spring 2012, F trains skip Smith and 9th in both directions
Ladies and gentlemen, we are delayed, we will be moving shortly
Thank you for riding with MTA NYC transit
Swipe card again at this turnstile
Too fast, please swipe again
Limited service, late night
Please, just wanna get home!
This train will be making local stops
Get off at Broadway Junction for the shuttle bus
Thank you for riding with MTA NYC transit
Swipe card again at this turnstile
Too fast, please swipe again
Limited service, late night
Please, just wanna get home!
All times, all times, until Fall 2012 F trains skip Smith and 9th streets in both directions
Thank you for riding with MTA NYC transit
If you see something, say something
Love the mta, love the mta, **** the mta, **** the mta
Love the mta, love the mta, **** the mta, **** the mta
Si vez algo, di algo! Si vez algo, di algo!

Lyrics by Soller-Mihlek
Ever feel that when it rains, it pours
Especially when you're living in a place like New York
Did you take the wrong turn, did you (make) the wrong choice?
Ever feel stuck in a rut or just bored?
'Cause when the world is bringing you down
You wish your luck would turn around
Lost in the dark, falling apart
Don't take it all to heart
Face your fears, take it all in stride
Rest your mind, see a different light
Take the bad as a another ride
Stop the fight, it'll be alright
I know you know what I"m talking about in this cold hard city
Looking down and out
Pick yourself up off the ground and listen to this sound

Idle Hands

Lyrics by Kat Wong
Let's get it started, no time to repent
Idle hands, sycophant,
Idle hands, I'm sick of it, I'm sick of it
How do we sacrifice rage, it just isn't right
Painted by normality, what a pretty sight
Added rhythm onto fears, we share the cause
Abundance clear
Sugar-coated holes to dispense
I idealize, nothing but lament
Let's get it started, no time to repent
Idle hands, sycophant
Idle hands, I'm sick of it, I'm sick of it
Torment ridden with age soon to be a welcomed stain
Solace at last, dissonance it sure to blame
Added rhythm onto fears, we share the cause
Sugar-coated holes to dispense
I idealize, nothing but lament
Let's get it started, no time to repent
Idle hands, sycophant
Idle hands, I'm sick of it, I'm sick of it
Sugar-coated, I dispense
To idealize, I am spent
We got it started, no time to lament
Idle hands, sycophant
Idle hands, sycophant, I'm sick of it, I'm sick of it

My beer is warm and your cocktail's watered down
102 in this hell of a town
The sweat drips drips drips and turns to steam
My touch burns you and your skin burns me
We need some artificial air
Turn it up and let it blast
Let's pretend that the summer's passed
This apple is baked
How much more can we take?
If it were the first of the year
I would love your charms and lie in your arms
We need some artificial air
Turn it up and let it blast
Let's pretend that the summer's passed

Lyrics by Soller-Mihlek
Remember the boys when they told us "no"
We found our own noise, put on our own show
I am sick of that pose, I'm tired of this scene
With your edgy haircuts, you're all looking real mean
Now you've got your tattoos, you've got the look
And you're dressing the part, but you're not off the hook
**** your little bitty cliques, talking about art, looking real hip
Yeah, you know what it's all about
Sing those words and scream and shout!
If this music is your real obsession, let's see your 7" collection
The riot's in the sound, the riot's on the floor
I think that you've forgotten what the riot's for
Think about the feelings, think about the rage
Not how it's going to look on your facebook page!
There are some things that you just can't get
Making all your friends on the internet
Riot grrrl? Be quiet, girl.

Sly Eye

Lyrics by Kat Wong:
Settle familiar habits
Disown the new now
Feature warnings of comfort
We know no healthy way
Intrude! Intrude!
Entrust loyalty over perfection!
Sly eye! Find another
Sly eye! Dispersed undercover
Sly lie! Become undone, become undone
Intrude! Intrude!
The clutch revives but oh
Seconds turn into months
Teetering of suspicion to know
No one is here
They say, "oh, so well"
Intrude! Intrude!
Sly eye! Forfeit the other
Sly eye! Submit then recover
Leisure will solve, leisure will solve, yeah yeah

Lyrics by Soller-Mihlek
The image is worth more than your common sense
You're so much more interesting when you're on the defense
It's easy to point a finger and to state the obvious
Too hard to admit that you're the same as all of us
How many -isms do we have to list?
Do we have to tiptoe for our words to exist?
Playing the little victim can be a lot of fun
But what good are your workshops when there's work to be done?
No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.
The consequence of arrogance is violence, not submission.
You know you're well-respected, you're a presence in the scene
Go patch your denim vest until it rips at the seams!
The thirst for drama, it never ends
And now it's got you picking fights with your own friends.
Take a good look at your own reflection
Before you go talking about insurrection
So blinded from your anger that you're straying from the mission
And there isn't any time for acts of contrition.
No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.
The consequence of arrogance is violence, not submission.

TinVulva Brooklyn, New York
From the depths of the Gowanus canal, TinVulva (aka TV) is an alternative punk-inspired band with riot grrrl soul and
rhythmic grunge undertones.
What does TinVulva mean? Feminist? Queer? POC? Riot grrrl?
We're just misfits that like to rip it, and besides, where else would our voices be heard? Certainly not in the mainstream. MUSIC over matter!
See you on the floor!!!
