Lyrics:
Boys will be poison
Girls will be war
Your path has been chosen
Your voice has been torn out at the roots
What else is new
Boo hoo
With that fire in your eyes little starling what’s with you
You promised you wouldn’t get angry darling
We are so far so lost it’s true
We can’t attempt to start anew
We lost our way so long ago
Chopping things down before they grow
Been gone so long we went too far
Like crashing jets and shooting stars
We let the best of us burn down
Hot autumn nights in Chinatown
Life can be murder
Death can be calm
Yet no one in their right mind thinks they deserve to fall
Shot out of your boots
What else is new
Boo hoo
With that fire in your eyes little starling what’s with you
You promised you wouldn’t get angry now we’re through
We are so far so lost it’s true
We can’t attempt to start anew
We lost our way so long ago
Chopping things down before they grow
Been gone so long we went too far
Like crashing jets and shooting stars
We let the best of us burn down
Hot autumn nights in Chinatown

Skiba definitely felt like he had something to prove, and oh boy, he proved he’s still one of the best in the game. This riff is so crunchy it needs some milk to go with it.

[@DaddyDrewbacca]

Real talk, Derek wrote the intro riff to this song but Skiba is back! Hot for Preacher was close to being the album title too lol. Great Skiba interview about it on KZbin 🤘.

[@davelechner3180]

He is my main influence on my guitar tone. Love the crunchyness. He has refinined it a bit over the years. Not as ""hot" as goddamnit lol

Not only was this the perfect album opener, it was also the perfect show opener. It set the entire tone for the show and got the crowd pumped right out the gate. Love this song!

Probs to Derek for writing the guitar intro to this song, dude is sooo talented!! Love Atom, think he's the perfect fit, Skiba is TOP NOTCH, and Dan, cmon, the man is a bullet proof robot!!! 💔💀💔🤘

[@atrio1136]

I didn't know it was Derek that wrote it, I was here thinking Matt's getting creative.

[@DaddyDrewbacca]

@@atrio1136 I watched an interview with Matt a few weeks ago and he mentioned for the first time they wrote together in the studio, and went on to say Derek wrote that intro. I'll link ya to the interview, it's excellent but Matt was quite creative throughout the album, he also mentions how he didn't want to do just power chords. 🤘

this song hits so hard with the intense riff and poignant lyrics. May be the end for some but it's a cautionary tale for the rest of us. so relatable. damn!

[@SymiMonstar]

Alkaline does this thing where the entire world is suffering unimaginable turmoil and they drop an album everyone uses to heal and hold onto. Crimson, agony and irony, addiction... now its blood hair and eyeballs.. thanks matt dan and atom for giving us something to hold onto.

[@moonkream]

Is this their best album ever? Hell, I think it might be...

[@mattmcsherry761]

It's most definitely a top 3, at LEAST!

[@ryangriffith8536]

Upon the first few listens, I put this in their top 4. Best in 20 years. However, with more time, this very well might..... probably....is their best album.

[@donbeck8835]

It is one of their best because it's probably got the freshest sound when compared to the closest predecessor. And what I mean by that, is a lot of older albums sounded similar to the one before it. This one doesn't sound much like ITTC, even though I love that album too.

[@mattd1659]

Definitely their best in at least a decade. Which is exciting to see

[@bluewhye8832]

1.Crimson 2.Good Mourning 3.Blood,hair, and eyeballs 4.Agony and irony 5.Godammit 6.This addiction 7.Maybe I'll catch fire 8.My shame is true 9.Is this thing cursed 10.From here to Infirmary My shame is true deserves to be higher. It's just they didn't capture the songs as well as they were live. Hearing my Shane is true live is amazing. But the album feels slightly underdone in terms of they could've made the songs sound better. From here to Infirmary and id this thing cursed are also good but as albums dont stand up as well to the others.

[@slappybagOG]

Amazing song ❤️❤️

[@bartkicktown]

Maybe the most metal Alkaline Trio has ever been, in the riff. Once the verse starts, it's classic. Matt and Dan are timeless. Sorry to their current drummer. Much respect, but they've shifted drummers a lot. Matt and Dan are our greatest living poets. Somehow it's always fresh and new, but feels like I jammed to this in my Pontiac as a teeneager. Every album. Every single one is the best. Fuck you, other commenters. I don't care if you're with me or without. Just, fuck you. This is my thought.

[@nickv7863]

Derek was technically their fifth drummer but the third one that was on their records. He stayed with the Trio for 20+ years though.

[@jadedecay9592]

I LOVE the whole album top to bottom! i think this one or Break is my favorite!! This as an OPENING track holy SHIT guys!!! That riff! That opening LINE! Ill always love you guys!!! I NEED to see you guys live again! Please come to NJ and not be expensive!!😅😅 UPDATE IM SEEING YOU IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!

[@Andrew_stars]

LOVING THESE SONGS!!

[@tbongio]

Rip and run riff. Freaking love it

[@mattd1659]

I’m only on 2nd play through, but IMO this is their best album in at least a decade, if not longer. As much as I miss Derek on drums, Atom’s given them a different punch on a lot of the songs and Matt’s songwriting has a new urgency I haven’t felt for a while. Enjoyable

[@Silencejjj]

What are we hearing here is Derek, mate. He recorded the drums for this album

[@mattd1659]

@@Silencejjj Is that true? So Atoms just for the live shows? Interesting, I could have sworn the drums sounded different on the album - stoked for Derek to go out on a high then

[@Silencejjj]

Matt said that people think Atom is on the album because he is playing in the musical videos, also Matt himself confirmed "Derek did a great job on the album" by the time derek left he already had recorded the drum parts.

Big fan here and I'm in agreement with your comment. Sound is muddy overall on every song I've heard on this record. I'm hoping it's a better sounding mix on the vinyl. Could be just shitty through my phone.

[@atrio1136]

@@scottkurschinske907 Sounds good and clear through my phone speakers. When i connected my phone to my CD player, it does sound a bit muddy, that's probably the CD player as it's fine otherwise.
