Here We Go Again - OPERATION IVY 

i think "tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds unite themselves together to make our consciousness blind. conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away, if thats what they call normal, id rather be insane" is one of the greatest lyrical line written. op ivy is definitely the best punk band to have ever existed.

Another test of "manhood", just when you thought you'd won, the more we keep competing, the more the battle has just begun. Jesse was on another level...timeless

I got this album when I was 13 years old. I am 32 now and gone through university at the graduate level. I can safely say I learned more important lessons from Op. Ivy than school.

One of my all-time favorite bass lines. So fat, so skanky, so awesome!

It's not the ending, it's the beginning The ground is moist and it rained last night Smells like smoke and it smells so clean The sun shines down like a friendly white light Here we go again Analyzed the world I was born into But I never could understand Knew I never wanted to grow up if that meant being a man Dominating strict competition is the meaning of our lives Stomping on the weak keeps us the winner of the battle in our minds Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds Unite themselves together, make our consciousness blind Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away If that's what they call normal, then I'd rather be insane Relax yourself from giving what you want to do with your life Ease up from giving up things like-like control of your own mind If you never ask any questions Then you're never gonna get no answers Always be wondering what do you want While you keep getting older faster Tensions in your lives that are destroying our minds Unite themselves together, make our consciousness blind Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away If that's what they call normal, then I'd rather be insane (Insane) Insane Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds Unite themselves together, make our consciousness blind Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away If that's what they call normal, then I'd rather be insane Relax yourself from giving what you want to do with your life Ease up from giving up things like control of your own mind Never gonna ask any question Then you're never gonna get no answer Always be wondering what do you want Keep getting older faster (Here we go again) Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away (Here we go again) If that's what they call normal, rather be insane (Here we go again) Another test of manhood (Here we go again) Just when you thought you won (Here we go again) The more we keep competing (Here we go again) The more the battle's just begun

Seriously, some of the best lyrics ever written!

that ending is so badass. will never get over it.

One of my favorite bands of all time. I remember back in the day ( I feel old) the punks of my school formed a clique and they all wore op ivy t shirts. Some of those punks were jocks who just wanted to fit into something. But at least they like a legendary band like this. I dispised those punks and their 'cluque' mentality at the time. But I still Love this band so much. Good music like this is so rare.

All of them are fuckin great. The album is called energy. My very favorite album. EVER M

HERE WE GO AGAIN, infatuation touches me just when I thought that it would end.

Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away. If that's what they call normal I'd rather be insane.

had this shirt like 3 times in my life... whenever it gets on it's last leg, I order another one! the "conditioned to self interest with emotions locked away, if that's what they call normal then I'd rather be INSANE!!"

They played this live in Pittsburgh Tim time bomb and friends opened for Rancid. Stupid fun.

woah, how fast can Jesse sing? like 50 syllables/sec!?

Much needed wisdom 🙏 in these times.

Jesse Michaels is a poet. Dang, this is deep.

Glad this is my first OP Ivy song

I’ve just started playing bass 3 days ago with 15 years of Musical Knowledge behind my back, and this is the first song I am trying to play, along with Blister in the Sun. Such skanky lines, I love it

I love how the instrumental has this very happy ska sound but the vocals are insanely fucking mad

Amazing song.

I dont even like ska much anymore. I like way heavier music now but this song will always resonate with me as it taught me something about being a man that I did not get from any men in my life. All men should here/read these lyrics and fuckin learn

FUCK YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! Here we go again

Operation ivy keeps me sober

I love the guy on “Pick it Up.” The dude rockin those “Hup hup hups” is also competent. Is that Tim?

2020 New Year’s Eve I’m playin all ivy. Operation Old fogie’z 2020 still goin’

The more we keep competing The more the battle has just begun

damn ive listed to every good ska/ punk band out there we need some more

Thanks for the lyrics. Best Operation Ivy song ever. The Shit

Bloody amazing song.

Conscience for a nation bereft of it.

This is ska-punk, Op Ivy coined the genre. Case closed.

It'll neva end

They need to turn up the bass on this track! Guitar way too loud. That’s a phenomenal bass line!

This is OP ivy bayarea boys they ain't any genre or labeled bunch no stereotypical group of any certain type they operation ivy from the bayarea California and from a time that they caught just perfectly no matter who what when or where it's just good rock n roll music made by a group of guys who were spreading some of that good they had in they're own hearts if you get anything out of this let it be the unity thing and dont take yourselfs too too seriously when it comes to any damm image thing be yourself dont waste this life our actions are a means to an end!!! One man can change the world and he accepts you when you accept his spirit into your heart nobodys beliefs hold any bareing to reality we all sin nobodys perfect but you have a real chance at knowing perfect and real peace and togetherness..... if your into that sort of thing ? If not them you have already chose your own eternal suffering but keep it to yourself no matter what that coward in your concious tells you bringing as many down with you will be more far worse regret then you believe you can ever truly take hell was created for real evil way passed our level of any strength or knowledge and one demon angel is wiser then all of us if satan can fool and convince 1/3 of gods angels to follow in his uproar then he can convince you of anything dont be the foolish ones left behind we send ourselves to hell the lord does not condemn you to hell you made that choice when you denied the truth the most obvious truth that's never been any secret only by the ones who follow darkness will this be a kept secret good is not contageous like evil it spreads differently why be any thing but apart of it we all want good so...... try..... this life is a test and most of us are failing ourselves and our close ones and on and on and on like a sad song goes on and on

Here We G0:00 Again

@BlackChapelDeluxe Michaels did almost all the tracks for their recorded albums and Lint did like one or two songs for front vocals. So I'm almost positive it was Michaels.

If that's what they call normal then I'd rather be insane?

For some reason it says an error occurred on the screen... Not being able to pause the video isnt exactly a problem.

I dont like the way this song sounds, but i like the lyrics. They're so true

bset bassline.

@ jamacaman14 If there isn't the lyrics posted I didn't understend fuckin' anithing!!! Thank U guy!

Love Rancid but they should have stick to this !

Why should it

it's repulsive to me that when you type in 'here we go again' in youtube search you have to look through 5 pages of bullshit before you find this song..

@ktmboy1989 choking victim, No cash, the supervillains, the dumpers, the stupid stupid henchmen, leftover crack, INDK, Morning Glory, The infested, ext

@DaveZaniboni type in operation ive here we go again and album name if u know it to remove the bullshit lol

lol how the fuck can i learn to sing along to this shit

Disgusting this bass line is naaaaasty

nope.

"yeah fuck the system yeah!" i was thinking about this a lot. All of these multi national corporations running the world and all and it made me think. Who would 99 % of the employed people be working for; would they even have jobs? Also to be honest i think that devoloped countries as a single entity are completely dependent on these machines. So yeah fuck the system is cool when venting your frustration but on a more serious note, what's your game plan?

this more like reagge than punk...knwledge's the most representive song of punk

its rancid

so this was around at about the same time as early Mighty mighty bosstones was it ? i see a sort of connection
