DESCRIPTION:
Dead City Shakers - Payin Dues In Blood - Off the Ship of Beggars Album. Debut album from Dallas' punkabilly quartet. 12 searing tracks of raw punkabilly served up Texas style, no gimmicks rock'n'roll with a twist of outlaw country.

Lyrics:
This ain't what you're thinking -- things aren't always what they seem.
Watered down by false intentions -- go fuck yourself and fuck your scenes.
This used to stand for something -- now it's all dead to me.

Have you ever paid your dues in blood?

Look at the people around you -- look how they claim to be your friend.
They cry truth -- scream integrity -- where do they go in the end?
Friends used to stand together -- now you're all dead to me.

Have you ever paid your dues in blood?
