Boston Punk Band Ground Zero

[tangerine]

I have been trying to remember the beginning of their song "Up the State." Very appropriate in today's political climate.

_________________ and you've given up the cause,
and your mind goes blank and you believe in the laws
The show's beginning, where they judge the rest
it's a public execution and you can be a guest
So enjoy! What's it for? Join the group up against the wall.
Hey, hey, who do we hate?
It doesn't matter. Up the State!

Can anyone help with the first part?

Ok, this is officially impossible. I've found a hundred and one bands named Ground Zero... none of them punk. I'll keep trying.

PS: was there a guy named Otomo Yoshihide in the band?

Thanks Nemova. I have searched and searched and found a lot of info about Boston punk bands but these guys seem to have fallen through the cracks.

I don't think there was an Otomo Yoshihide but couldn't swear to it.

I'll ask my bf, he might know something.
