Am I Dead Yet
G.B.H. · Race Against Time: Clay Years [2007]
But don't for a minute believe a lying word.
They'll do anything to try and sell their ware,
They've got no morals and they really don't care.
Am I, am I dead yet ?
They've got the freedom others haven't got,
They get away with murder and we do not.
Sensationalise anything that's dull,
It can't go on the street if it's not full.
The cheapo porn is bound to get the men,
Think twice when it has a reading age of ten.
Trivial stories get caught in their net,
And they can bury you if you're a threat.
Am I Dead Yet
G.B.H.'s "Am I Dead Yet" serves as a gritty, introspective centerpiece on their 2007 album *Race Against Time: Clay Years*. The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of punk energy and dark, atmospheric production, characteristic of their work during the mid-2000s era. With its driving rhythm and brooding tone, the song reflects the band's exploration of urban decay and existential anxiety, themes prevalent across their discography including tracks like "Drugs Party In 526" and "Maniac." As a defining recording from this period, it captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic that cemented G.B.H.'s reputation within the underground music scene, offering a stark contrast to more polished contemporaries while maintaining a distinct, aggressive sonic identity.
