No Way

Adolescents · The Adolescents [1981]

No class, no job

I'm just a victim of society a slob

No ass, no head

I gotta go home and jack off instead

No mind, no kind

My brain is jelly and my memory is blind

No way, no way

I cannot live in a world this gay

With its driving rhythm and direct lyrical approach, the recording reflects the band's commitment to authentic expression and musical aggression. As part of the Adolescents' discography, the track contributed to their legacy as pioneers of the scene, influencing subsequent generations of punk and alternative musicians. The song remains a staple for fans of the era, embodying the chaotic optimism and social commentary often found in their work.
