Clutch is a band from Germantown, Maryland in the United States. They have been playing together since the early 1990s, producing records at a rate of approximately one per year. They released their first EP, Pitchfork, in October of 1991. Each of Clutch's albums is marked by its own distinct and cohesive sound and the band's musical style may be said to have migrated from hardcore punk to hard rock and blues over the course of their career. Clutch's lyrics, at first angry and serious in tone, had by the time of 1993's Transnational Speedway League become characterized by intelligence, wordplay, and often humor (although comedy is not usually the focus).

Molt Lyrics

Clutch

If I can't win,
Then I will multiply.
You cannot oppose
What you can't recognize.
Drop down, drop down,
All the angels sing.
Drop down to all fours
Like an ape, like a child, like dog, like a king.
Like a king.
I'm a walking definition
Of a defense mechanism.
I have no wants, I only know needs,
And what I need now is a new anatomy.
And they are like the insect;
So simple, yet so hard to appease.
And they are like the virus,
So simple, yet so hard to appease.
And I am your equal
And opposite reaction,
So feel this second skin.
And they are like the insect,
And they are like the insect,
So feel this second skin,
So feel this second skin.
Like an ape, like a child, like a king, like a dog,
Like an ape, like a child, like a king, like a dog,
Like a child, like an ape, like a king.
If I can't win,
If I can't win,
If I can't win,
If I can't win,
If I can't win,
And you, you should be smiling,
This is evolution's finest hour.
One step back would be on the forward,
And into the wayward out.
And you, you should be smiling,
This is evolution's finest hour.
One step back would be on the forward,
And into the wayward out.
