DYS



DYS was another one of the great bands to come out of the early 80's Boston hardcore scene. DYS, along with such bands as the FU's and Negative FX, helped build a strong scene. Their first LP Brotherhood was by far their best shit. Taang has re-released it under the name of Wolfpack. Both releases are tough to find. Fire & Ice was some time after their first release. It is definitely not as good as their first release, but hey, it's DYS. Taang has since put Fire & Ice and Wolfpack on CD. discography That's probably your best bet of finding their stuff. It's worth handing over the $10 just for the Wolfpack tracks. Below are some wav's. Check them out!!!



Open Up
Punk's dead just the newest trend
Rank on their looks but at gigs call them friend
It's cool now to put it down
What you were last week gets a peer police frown
	You used to talk about open minds
	Was all that a lie, or have you just grown old
	Look like you want, but don't tell me how to live
	It's you that says looks don't matter...

More Than Fashion
More than the X's on my hands
More than being in a straightedge band
I see no good in my mind getting fucked
A needless vacuum, I won't be sucked
	Straight mind, razor edge
	Firm footing on a social ledge
	"A party's no fun if there's no brew"
	I can only feel sorry for you
'Cause I've had a blast all my life
Never neededany puke-filled strife
It's a way of life that says I don't need
Hangovers, freak-outs, or expensive weed
Rather buy a record any day
My mind is here, not far away

Circle Storm
The confrontations between black and white
Race makes no difference, we must unite
Fight against the social norm
Fuck with one, feel our circle's storm
	Fight - against the social norm
	Fight - and feel our circle's storm
Bootboys, skinheads all the same
Stress our cause, that's our aim
Our noisy protest will go on
Until the day that we have won

City To City
It's begun, no turning back
City to city we're fighting back
Haven't changed the world, but we've made a start
We're digging in and fighting smart
And like a plague, we continue to spread
Fight their values until they're dead
	We're serious and we won't go away
	We fight for a better world - today
	Laugh or frown, it's all the same
	Won't play by your rules, 'cause we hate your game

(The Girls's Got) Limits
The girl's got limits but I'm gonna make her mine
The girl's got limits but it's gonna take time
Gonna gonna get you baby
You know I'm gonna get ya

Brotherhood
Best years of your life you know it's true
You're like a brother to me, I'm like one to you
We've had some great times and despite the bad
I know that these years are the best that I've ever had
	Brotherhood
	Brotherhood
	Brotherhood
	True till death
Beyond the bullshit politics or the gossip on the scene
We're like brothers deep down clowning around or thrashing mean
Best years of our lives we know it's true
The Boston Brotherhood is me and you

Yellow
So tired of all the lies
Can't see so open your eyes
We talk about everyone else
Let's stop and improve ourselves
	Backstab blood flowing free
	It's him or her or them or me
	Like vultures preying on the dead
	Can't leave anything unsaid
Say hi when someone's here
They leave smile turns to sneer
We're free to stab and spit and spout
More pointless shit no point and no good at all
	We're cool 'cause someone else is small
	If we've nothing better to do
	Then I'm sorry for me and you

Stand Proud
Reject us now, drink your drink
Close your mind don't have to think
It's not my place to tell you what's best
But you've changed just like the rest
	Stand proud and never give in
	Your excuses wear thin
	If we fight with a cause	
	Our lives are no loss
I don't care if you hate my kind
It was my decision it was my mind
No one to pressure I had the choice
United together youth with one voice

Insurance Risk
I'm 17 but I'm not a legal man
I'm left to puzzle out your real world the best I can
I can't look to you, a world clawing for security
If I have to be like that I'll keep my immaturity
You pay more for insurance costs (X4)
Minor one day, man the next
A whole new twist in a well-worn text
Buy guns, have sex, it helps cover the shaft
As an added bonus look forward to the draft
But for now I'm 17, and I salute your mixed up laws
The more I look, the more I laugh at all the flaws
Don't take a chance on me society make sure I can't buy booze
I don't want it anyway, so guess what guys you lose

Wolfpack
March the streets
30 or 40 strong
United against
A world that's wrong

The numbers shock you
It's the truth
A mini-army
Of angry youth
Wolfpack!
Don't give us any shit
Wolfpack!
Or you're gonna get hit
Wolfpack!
It's a unity ideal
Wolfpack!
Better believe it's real
Fucking proud
To be a part of this
Every kid is my brother here
Shoulder to shoulder
Or back to back
We're united
It's the year of the pack!
Wolfpack!
Don't give us any shit
Wolfpack!
Or you're gonna get hit
Wolfpack!
It's a unity ideal
Wolfpack!
Better believe it's real
