The brainchild of original Virus vocalist Mike Virus, Cheap Sex formed in 2002, forged out of a need for real, socially aware punk rock in Southern California. Proof of this need came in the form of a massive response from the fans, resulting in the bands almost instantaneous ability to pack venues just on word of mouth without so much as a demo available. New Yorks premier punk label seemed the perfect match for Cheap Sex and the band wasted no time in getting in the studio to record their debut album "Launch off to War" which was released on Punk Core in July 2003. Aggressively supporting their debut album, the band hit the road for their first self-headlining tour as well as several festival appearances including the Wasted festival in Morecambe England, Viva le Punk at CBGBs and British Invasion where they shared stages with some of the biggest acts of yesterday and today including The Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and The Dogs, Lower Class Brats, English Dogs, The Feederz, Agent Orange, Defiance, The Icons of Filth and many more. Their First tour was cut short by a terrible accident involving their tour van and a truck full of cinderblocks, resulting in their guitar player John being flown to a Pennsylvania area hospital for immediate open heart surgery which saved his life.

False Pride Lyrics

Cheap Sex

Hes Black, Hes White, Hes Yellow, Hes Blue
He is a Christian, He's a Buddhist, Hes Islamic, Hes a Jew
But in todays day and age you think we would have learned
That its the person you should judge and that respect must be earned.
We have fought over nonsense through the sands of time
War after fucking war, and yet our eyes remain blind.
Too often I hear people say to stick with your own
But I dont know what that means in this land we call home.

CHORUS:
Instead of blaming everyone else
Its time to take dignity off the shelf
Because we all need to live with each other
And for centuries all weve done is kill one another - with our false pride.

You talk about pride in your race
As if being born into something is an achievement?
How about doing something with your life
And then yap your fucking mouth about the pride that you have?
Who gives a flying fuck about your ancestors
When all you do is bitch about everyone else?
The bloodstains on the ground from years of ignorance
All looks red to me.

Spoken: (Can't You See
These Are The End Of Days?
You Can't Open The Paper
Without Reading About Another Religious War.
You'd Think We'd Heed Our Wake Up Call
But We Haven't.
So Now Here Comes The Armageddon!)
