Biography

Henry Rollins put the Rollins Band together, in Van Nuys, California, United States, after his previous band, the outfit Black Flag, broke up in 1986. "Borrowing" the rhythm section of former Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn's experimental instrumental band, GOne, their sound is very similar to Black Flag's latter direction, playing aggressive with influences, beginning with their first release Life-Time in 1987. The band continued to mature and mix elements of , fusion and beats, and with the track "Liar" from the album Weight in 1994, broke hard into the mainstream with heavy radio play and a music video for the single in heavy rotation on MTV. Success of the album got them a record contract with Dreamworks that lasted for one more album until Rollins dissolved the group citing, 'creative stagnation.'

    Lyrics
    You think you're going to live your life alone
    In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
    You've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
    And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
    So you stagger back home and wait for nothing

    Lyrics
    Don't like to think too much, it makes me think too much,
    It keeps my mid on my mind
    Don't wanna see too much, it makes me see to much
    Sometimes I'd rather be blind
    All the things that they're saying & doing

    What's hard to an alien man?
    Well you never know what's real
    Just a card in someones deck
    You get dealt and that's the deal
    What's the matter, man?

    I think you got a low self opinion man
    I see you standing all by yourself
    Unable to express the pain of your distress
    You alienate yourself
    And everybody else
