(Nasty Little Man) Social Distortion has released "The Way Things Were," the third and final song to be released in advance of the band's long-awaited eighth album, Born To Kill, out May 8th via Epitaph Records.
An emotionally charged reminiscence in the vein of classics "Story of My Life" and "I Was Wrong," "The Way Things Were" is a potent distillation of the Social D ethos, featuring lyrics like "I wrote a song with a stolen riff / If you ain't got a song you ain't got sh*t."
Born To Kill is more than the conclusion to a 15-year wait between Social Distortion albums, it's a revelation: 11 songs of pure, unadulterated rock fury, joy and catharsis, all imbued with the signature blend of defiance and world-weariness that has made Ness a poet and sage to the dispossessed for more than 40 years.
