LYRICS

No one will listen
Until it comes down
No one will hear the alternatives 
No hope in the town

Fighting for what?
Talking to walls
If there was a hammer that could break through
Let’s break down these walls

What the hell is going on?
I don’t think you understand
What the hell is going on?
You don’t want to understand
Understand
Understand
Understand

My friend
Our patience
Is running thin
You won’t stop you will violate
And do anything to win
Well hurt is taking it’s toll
And we’re all suffering

I am lucky that I realized why I am
Because through the years
From home
To school
I’ve screamed for a change
Change
Change
Change
A change


What the hell is going on?
You don’t want to understand
Understand
Understand
Understand
Stand 
Stand
Stand 
Stand

Understand
Understand
Understand
Understand

Stand 
Stand
Stand 
Stand

Under!

Understand

LYRICS

I went to this place last night
The vibe there it just wasn’t right
I was drawn to the image and coating of the scene 
But it doesn’t look like it’s really what it’s supposed to be
Disappointed in what I felt
Maybe out of place 
Looking for different face
I’m not the only one who felt like crap in this place
I guess that is what happens when the monsters get their way
Their way!
Their way!
You want the power, You want the glory
You want us as a shield from the problems that you have 
When we suck into your bullshit story
Time will tell what is right
Right now I see you’re winning all your useless fights
Your worst enemy is the god damn truth
If you’re not too careful, it’s going to creep up on you
On You!
On You!
On You!
Sucker!
You act like your scene is for all of mankind
You alienate those who aren’t your kind, your kind
You want us to follow and have fear of you
Believe me, I’d follow if I felt the truth
The truth, the truth, the truth, the truth
But no you, want fear so, you’re going to get feared by us now
Lookout, Lookout, Lookout because here they come again
Again, again, again.
Lookout I hear them coming
Lookout they’re scary, scary

Lookout the monsters here Fuck you!
Lookout I hear them coming
Lookout they’re scary, scary
Lookout the monsters here Fuck you! You! You!
Lookout I hear them coming
Lookout they’re scary, scary
Lookout the monsters here because here they come
You better look out!

Lookout (Here Come The Monsters)

LYRICS

Woke up
Glad today
Glad to continue work for my day
When it’s all done my way

Nobody taught me how to function here
I’ve waited so long for it to be clear
So now I have a fight
Until I find my time

What’s that?
You’re all bent
You disapprove of the fact that I must
focus on myself

I think you better back off from this
You’re gonna lose because it’s none of your business
So now begins a fight
Until I find my time

I got to find it

Why don’t you
You focus
On yourself 
cause this will get you nowhere fast

It’s not my fault
That you don’t
Even care to take an interest in yourself

I’m reaching out

Nobody taught me how to function here
I’ve Waited so long for it to be clear
So now I have a fight
Until I find my time

my time
my time
Until I find my time
my time
my time
Until I find…

We recorded "What We Do" back in 1997. Up until now it has only been released on the 1997 NJHC compilation titled "Contralation". This was released only on vinyl and has been out of print for quite some time. As of January 8th, 2025 it is available on all streaming platforms.

What We Do

I.D.K. is an American hardcore punk band, formed in 1991 in Fairview, New Jersey. The band's lineup consists of founding member Anthony Paladino on lead vocals, Tom Conti on bass guitar, Fabio Amato on drums, and Mike Nappi and Adrian Spoleti on the guitars. After numerous self-releases along with a release on local NJ label Bushleague records, I.D.K. signed with extreme metal powerhouse Earache for the release of their EP “Taking on The Monster“ Earache catalog #MOSH172. Following the completion of their first U.S. tour, they then moved to label The Music Cartel before recording 1998's Til Death Do Us Part full-length. After years of a break from the action, I.D.K. released an ep entitled “To Do What Must Be Done” on their own label. I.D.K. is currently playing shows in the NJ/NY metro area and are working on new music that will be released in 2025.
