Descendents are a punk rock band from Lomita, California. They are one of the most influential punk bands ever and are known for being one of the early bands in the hardcore scene to sing about more personal topics reflective of their own lives. They were formed in 1978 by guitarist Frank Navetta, bassist Tony Lombardo and drummer Bill Stevenson. Shortly after forming they enlisted Milo Aukerman and made what started out a surf band into a full fledged punk unit. The Descendents diverged from their punk peers perhaps because of the Beach Boys influences and sang about topics that touched many young punk's lives like parents, food, girls and being rejected.

Dog And Pony Show Lyrics

Descendents

Another night of maybe and almost
Abandoned in a land of passing ghosts

Just a lot of sad people forgive them Lord
They don't care what they do
Or who they do it to

At the Dog and Pony Show
They don't wanna know
To think I could have stayed home
Instead of watching this

Ugly lust and ordinary dirt
But no one cares
So nobody gets hurt

Just a lot of sad people forgive them Lord
They don't care who they do
Or what it does to you

At the Dog and Pony Show
They don't wanna know
They're doin' some blow
They all

Stand in line and take their chances
Roofie dolls and robot dances
Dying to get off
There's a lot of pretty girls here
Lookin' tight
They're not good girls
But they're good for the night
They're telling me to buzz off
That's OK cause I never liked them anyway

It's no place for a mongrel mutt like me
Mating rights go to the best of breed
Just a lot of sad people caught in between
Desire and despair
I guess I'll see you there

At the lost and lonely
Dog and Pony Show
They don't wanna know
They don't wanna know
They don't wanna know

So afraid and alone
