Epitaph Records is an artist-first indie label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist, Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights helped launch the 90s punk explosion. Along the way, Epitaph has grown and evolved creatively while sticking to its mission of helping real artists make great recordings on their own terms.

"Insects" - Lyrics by Danny Elfman
Tiny insects in my hair, tiny insects everywhere
Tiny insects in my pants, watching insects make romance
Insects make me, make me want to
Dance, dance, they make me dance…
Those insects make me want to
Insects crawling all around, insects squirming on the ground
Insects gooey, squeaky, chewy, should I eat them… no
I’d rather stomp, hurt them, stomp, stomp them while I
Dance, dance, they make me want to dance
Dance, dance, they make me dance…
Insects walking on two legs, insects fucking with our heads
Insects work is never done, they’ve all moved to Washington
They bite and sting and suck…
Bite and sting and suck, suck, suck…
Bite and sting and suck, suck, suck…
(Suck, suck suck…)
Old white men they want to suck my blood
They want to suck your blood
They want to suck, suck, suck, suck, suck…
Old white men they want to suck our blood they want
To suck out our brains, suck out our brains, make us
Stupid as hell, stupid as hell, they’ve got
Something to sell something to sell, shove it down our
Throat in a pill, throat in a pill, make me want to
Puke, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck
Old white men, they’re back in power again
They’re sucking all the power and pride
They’re leaving us anesthetized
If they’re trying to lobotomize
Don’t you know, they suck suck suck suck suck suck…
Cauterize, penalize, euthanize, legalize, supervise
Synthesize, patronize, eulogize
Suck your brains out with a straw through your head and
Suck out your brains, suck out your brains, suck em’ in the
Suck out your brains, suck out your brains, suck em’ in the
Suck, suck, suck…
Suck out your brains, suck out your brains, suck out
