Lyrics:
Why go outside and leave this space
I’ve got the AC blasting my face
And I’d feel awkward and out of place
I’ve got everything I need right here
At my fingertips literally
There’s an app for everything
So why go back to reality it’s clearly overrated my dear
Why fall in love
Love is blind
Plus who’s got that kind of time
And now we walk like zombies in the land of the lost
A pre-fabricated universe our eyes are all crossed
Rest In Peace you dead language and the time that you’ve cost
Thank the Lord for opposable thumbs
Asleep at the wheel
Crawling from the curb to the door
I’ve had some deep conversations with my living room floor
I should’ve died at 27 like my heroes before
But I was too busy having fun
And now we're too busy getting dumb
Why fall in love
I heard it’s blind
Plus who’s got that kind of time
And I can’t dance
And I don’t drink wine
So what the hell is in it for me
Why fall in love
Love is blind
Plus who’s got that kind of time
And now we walk like zombies in the land of the lost
A pre-fabricated universe our eyes are all crossed
Rest In Peace you dead language and the time that you’ve cost
Thank the Lord for opposable thumbs
Asleep at the wheel
Crawling from the curb to the door
I’ve had some deep conversations with my living room floor
I should’ve died at 27 like my heroes before
But I was too busy having fun
And now we're too busy getting dumb
And now we walk like zombies in the land of the lost
A pre-fabricated universe our eyes are all crossed
Rest In Peace you dead language and the time that you’ve cost
Thank the Lord for opposable thumbs
Asleep at the wheel
Crawling from the curb to the door
I’ve had some deep conversations with my living room floor
I should’ve died at 27 like my heroes before
But I was too busy having fun
And now we're too busy getting dumb

This isn't the band we asked for, it's the band we needed.
EXACTLY!!!
Brilliant comment dear.
Man hearing Dicky's voice again is so good.
I just found this band today. And was listening going.
Wait a minute… lol
It seems kinda ironic watching this on my phone.
So meta 🤘
So funny I thought the same thing then I saw your comment. 😔
This comment wins 🎯
Dang
I thought the same haha
I have been waiting for punk rock to become punk again. Love the music. Keep it up the world needs ya now more than ever
Exactly!!!
Can only think ofThe Interrupters who mainly write anti cult lyrics now.
This is the most mild geriatric crap I’ve heard. Less boomers in “punk” pls
1000%. I was wondering if John Lydon was the only true punk still alive.
@@PuddleBooks well since Rage became the machine, and Green Day bows before Biden, we need some anarchy in the USA.
My heart is so happy to hear Dicky Barrett again
Great sound. Great message. Very well polished and provoking video.
Love to see this new wave of "anti-establishment protest" songs. It was badly needed.
Yeah remember growing up that bands like RATM and Ministry and NIN were rebellious to the establishment. I bet they're all up in Hollywood Hills with a Ukraining banner on the door and triple masking today.
Amen to that brother...been way too long
Brilliant melody. Crisp beats. Familiar vocals. Timely message. 10 out 0f 10.
So great to see. Found The Defiant via Pete Parada. The guy went thru hell and now lays down drums in this amazing band. Support all these guys projects!
I am 76 not a Punk rocker until NOW congratulations boys and good luck from Australia 🇦🇺
And here I am. A mere child at age 66.
Just saw these guys on Tim Pool IRL great song love it.👍🏻
Gen X is NOT dead and still putting out great music. Dicky's voice is still great. Sounds like something I would have heard on college radio back in the 80's. Great song. Tim Pool sent me and I am glad he did.
Yup. Tim P. put these guys on my radar, too. He's "doing the Lord's work".
Tim sent me as well- I've missed good music.
Tim P got me here. They are live on Timcast right now
He sent me today, guess I missed something 3 months ago?
@@Andre_Louis_MoreauTim had been plugging the band for months because he's associated with Pete Perada. Pete worked on a number of Tim's own songs.
Great song.
The 90s vibe from this song & the guys in the band puts a big smile on my face.
Just saw you on Timcast
Bought this album ❤❤❤
Just got done watching you guys on timcast! I've been a fan of the mighty mighty boss tones, offspring and smash mouth forever! You guys rock! I'm totally buying a vinyl when I get paid!
Good to see Joey LaRocca doing big things. The Briggs were always criminally underrated.
This is how it’s done, fellas. Thank you so much for such a great track. Can’t wait to hear more.
Awesome! Thank you! 🙌
Thank you ‘The Defiant’. You guys are the voice of so many. Sing it loud! 💪💪
I'm watching you guys on TimCast IRL right now 🤙🏽 Can't wait to binge on this.. A band of legends
Everyone I know will be getting this album for Christmas.
Best new song I've heard all year.
In which format?
I bought my dad one of my favorite albums on CD a couple years ago. He never listened to it because he doesn’t have a CD player.
@@Heisenbrick Why didn't you buy him a CD player?
@@donniet685 if I did, I doubt he would use it, everyone is so addicted to UA-cam, and the convenience of it….However, I might try.
Absolutely agree! Excellent song, everything about it!! Lookin' real good guys, too 💜💥
Love it! Funny how 45 years ago I'd have heard this on the radio on the local FM station, then headed out on my BMX bike to the neighborhood record store to try to find it on cassette (didn't have a record player til later). Dang I miss those days.
I used to ride my BMX bike to the record store in the winter. I'd ride back home with a bag of albums zipped up under my coat!
The song is so good that even Klaus Schwab sings a long. 😀
I wish I could like this 1000x times! It speaks so much truth and has a great 90’s sound…. Can’t wait for more from you guys!
I like that it is upbeat and it gets the point across without sounding angry. A bit of reverse psychology thrown in along with some straightforward statements. "It's got a good beat and you can dance to it" ;) Good stuff Gents!
Right on! Thank you! 🙏
Just saw you guys on Timcast, great show! So HAPPY Dicky is making new music. Great band too! The Mighty Mighty Bosstones is still the soundtrack of my life. Dicky is one of the best story tellers in music, period.
This band is absolutely amazing. I mean Greg Camp from Smash Mouth, Dicky Barrett from The Mighty Mighty Bostones Some of my favorite ska bands this song and band is awesome!
Also has members of the Offspring, Street Dogs and the Briggs.
@@milesgeary6358 THE DEFIANT IS A GOOD PUNK ROCK BAND :)
R.I.P Greg Camp
@@christianobermeier7862 Wrong Greg Camp is still alive, I really hope he’s safe😌😇🙏😘🌈
Not what I expected and I absolutely love it. People say they don't make music like they used to anymore (me being one of those) and I was blown away to see that good music can still be made!
Great song great to see Dickie back at it with a message 🤓
Here I was anticipating tomorrow to hear this song and to my surprise I open youtube to see it! I litterally jumped up out of my chair and said YESSS!!! The song is awesome guys!!
Thank you! 👊
This is my new fav song.
Thanks, Tim Pool, for having these guys on!!!
Song of the year !!!!
Saw you guys on the HIGHWIRE! You guys are rippin it up! BRAVO!!!!
At first I wasnt into it but the visuals kept me going and once the chorus hit, the song caught me and kept getting better and better. Catchy AF too
Timcast sent me. Great job boys. On the playlist now. Support the rebels.
Love Pete Parada.
y'all are badass. awesome job & fantastic video!!
Damn, this is such a throwback sound and i love it.
It makes me want to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
Brilliant! Absolutely love the message and the hook is catchy as hell. Thank God for opposable thumbs! 👍
Great song, Tim Pool suggested watching and I am not disappointed
The Clash vibes❤❤❤ love it
Glad Joe Strummer’s dead so he never had to read that.
@@Gaugzilla oh wow a hater. I could be surprised but I'm really not.
@@josealvarado9744Yeah, shouldn’t be surprised terrible music has people that hate it.
Great lyrics and energy!
This song is awesome! So good to hear actual Rock n Roll with an actual band. Great sound! Looking forward to more songs.
Fing eh guys! way to stay Rock & roll.
Eff em all!!!
Awesome song. Cant wait to hear more!
Tim Pool brought me here. but love it....great job
This is great! Heavily talented and sane band coming together at the perfect time!
This video made my day! Good to see some of my favorites from back in the day still being punk rock! Keep it up!
Damn good song! Keep rockin, and ill keep listening 🤘
Good message, and a good song. Can see myself jamming this on the road a lot in the future
I’m for it.
The best compliment i can give this is if The Clash was new in 2023. enjoyed this completely.
If Joe Strummer weren’t dead, he would kill himself if he read that.
I just heard about this band now from an interview with Dickie. Sounds great. Greg Camp is a great guitarist.
Johnny Rioux, tell them your story! Man I used to go see Street Dogs every time they came to atlanta back in the early to mid 00s. I'm glad you are a part of this!
Go Pete! Looks like the lead singer of the mighty mighty boss tones.
Great tune.
Awesome! Can’t wait for the full album!
True punk is alive and well. I got sent here from Timcast. Did not disappoint.
Tim Pool was right this shiz is pretty catchy . Love it
I'm brand new to yall...heard about you a few minutes ago on Timcast. Glad I did. Yall rock. Can't wait to hear more from you guys. we need it. Thank you and God bless
Same man. Bald beanie man doesn't miss.
Lol not very often
Great song. Feels nostalgic to me for some reason. Really can't wait for the album and hope to get to watch you play some day!
Just guessing, but I think the nostalgia is due to the fact that, for the first time in decades, a talented band is putting out good counterculture music, rather than just being a musical mouthpiece for The Machine.
@@arthurclarke983 whilst I totally agree with their message, etc, it's the music that feels nostalgic to me.
awesome video! Pete is one of my favorite drummers.
So good. Thanks for some new jams! And great lyrics as always by Mr. Barrett
Mid-90s vibe… essential today!
It's crazy how distinct that smash mouth guitar sounds. I never realized before hearing this how immediately iconic it is
wow. this hit hard. amazing.
Thank you!
Gentlemen, you were born for such a time as this.
I traded in my car to a dealership last November and once I signed the papers I went to get the last few things out the trunk of the car I was trading and found my Defektor CD that I'd bought years ago and lost. I couldn't believe it. It was the fourth happiest day of my life. For what it's worth, hearing this was the third happiest.
So happy you guys got together to be the non-compliant, rebel, spokesmen band we need now!
This is true counter culture right here. Great song!
this song is a perfect storm to shake things up
awesome
Great song! So glad to hear Dicky again, and I Love the way the worked in the Aldous Huxley clip. 🤘🏻
Sounds like the "Mighty Mighty Bosstones" with a "The Clash" inspiration. Nice.
Love this so much!!! ❤
WE GETTING OUT THE GULAG WITH THIS ONE LADS 😤😤😤😤
Thank you for delivering this message. Great vid and the singer walking away from the mic at the end is CLASSIC!!!
WOUUUUU!!! Already on the top of my favorites songs!! LOVE IT!! Such great melody
I love this song, and the accompanying video really amplifies the message (vs. just having some backup dancers or whatever). Thanks, Tim Pool for plugging this band on his podcast. I haven't been excited about a new band for many years and I wish these guys much success.
Great song!!
Loved it. We need more actual anti-establishment music. My heroes growing up have become part of the machine. It’s mind boggling.
Love it guys, can't wait for the album 🎉❤
Forever fan thnx Timpool!
Finally! I've been waiting to hear what you guys were gonna' do. Great song, love you Dicky!
Yes! I love it cant wait to hear more! Keep BEING DEFIANT!!!🎉
Excellent work. Good message. Glad this band formed. Rock on forever
On Repeat!!!
"I've had some deep conversations with the living room floor" This applies even with other people in the same room.
Oh geeze. I love this. That's all I can say. Love this!
Release more music! You guys are awesome!
LOVE!!! I’ve looked forward to this day so much. This will be on repeat for quite some time.
So happy together... Ba, ba ba ba ba... ba ba ba ba... ba ba ba ba!
Sent by Tim! Glad I came!
Great tune guys! 🤠👍
Oh yeah. Ready for the rest of the album!
🙌🙌🙌
Bravo 👏 Hombres …lyrically, vocally, instrumentally Super Unexpected… Unpredictable… Fantasticooo! Really REALLY enjoyed the breakdown guitar solo ‘n spoken weird science dude too … hope y’all make more
omg it's less than fifteen minutes old and I'm in love lol
Love to hear it! Amazing! 🙌
A born and raised Italian guy living in Berlin Germany somehow blasts your songs driving through the city. Keep it up guys, I heard about you and your stories through Tim's show this December. The fight isn't over until we quit 🖖🏻
Love, Love, LOVE!
this is possibly my favorite song of the year.
How amazing is this?!!!! So damn good!
🙌🔥🙌
“Too busy getting dumb.” TRUTH!
Great stuff, fellas. Cheers! 🤘🤜🤛
Thank you! 👊
This song just feels mid-90s….and I so love it! Brought me back to seeing the Bosstones, The Offspring, & Smashmouth live shows and how much fun they were. Dicky’s voice still sounds great. Totally can’t wait til the full album….and maybe tour??? I’d be excited for it.
