Choking Victim was an influential ska/punk/hardcore (what they call "Crack Rock Steady," a slight satire on the Rocksteady style of music which Choking Victim's style often included) band from New York City in the 1990s. The band became hometown (C-squat in the Lower East Side of Manhattan where they squatted and frequently continue to inhabit and organize shows) legends for their innovative music and highly political lyrics. At the same time they also became infamous for their Satanic imagery and numerous references to the vagrant lifestyle such as crack-smoking, shoplifting, and squatting. They also, like many other bands in the punk scene, have strong anti-police sentiments in their songs. The band prides itself on its Atheism, often making sardonic references to Satan, for the sole purpose of being offensive, rather than any sort of actual worship of the alleged deity.

Five Finger Discount Lyrics

Choking Victim

A walk through the product store and 15 aisles to see
all the pretty, pretty packages staring back at me
which is my favorite, where is my chance
to remove the product and stick it in my pants
cuz I want to see, what's on sale whats for free
(every time I go to shop I steal from) enemies
who steal from me, and from you
(if only you knew, then you would steal too)
adrenaline rushes, the products in my grip
I am only shopping, but now it's time to lift
I look for my moment, and down my pants I stick
the product I've selected is concealed against my dick
cuz I want to see, what's on sale whats for free
(every time I go to shop I steal from) enemies
who steal from me, and from you
(if only you knew, then you would steal too)
paranoid as fuck security in tow
is he really traling me and does he really know?
of my little secret my pride and his shame
this is so exciting kid, it's like a fucking game
I'm almost to the counter, will I make it to the door
will I get away like a million times before?
or will i be caught, jailed, banned from the store?
like if the product I've selected slips and crashes to the floor
Five finger discount!
and I want to see, what's on sale whats for free
(every time I go to shop I steal from) enemies
who steal from me, and from you
(if only you knew, then you would steal too)
paranoid as fuck security in tow
is he really traling me and does he really know?
of my little secret my pride and his shame
this is so exciting kid, it's like a fucking game
I'm almost to the counter, will I make it to the door
will I get away like a million times before?
or will i be caught, jailed, banned from the store?
like if the product I've selected slips and crashes to the floor
I get to the door and out the door I slide
I feel a sense of dignity, I feel a sense of pride
I do a happy dance and down the street I bail
as I have a little feast of what's on sale.
