Formed in the summer of 1981 by high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hsker Dand The Replacements. Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen in 1984 (later reissued as Say What You Will, Clarence... Karl Sold the Truck), Made to Be Brokenin 1986, While You Were Outin 1986, and the EP Clam Dip And Other Delightsin 1988. The band then switched to A&M, releasing Hang Timein 1988 and And the Horse They Rode in Onin 1990 under that label.

New World Lyrics

Soul Asylum

Lives in a little lonely town
No ones around except for the drinking
Nobody ever gets around
But those who leave the township sinking
May you rot in heaven
Gotta be home by seven
And the field burns away
The sky breathes it in
So why sit and wait for the new world to begin
Im comin out across your border
With new orders for you to take
Id really like to take out your daughter
Down in the water, down by the lake
When the cold waters on her skin
I can feel how long its been
And the neighbors will all be there
And no one will know what to wear
So why sit and wait for the world to begin
I got a lot I gotta do
Just to get through the end of the day
It hardly ever even happens
But I go to sleep the same anyway
And you cant believe in yourself
You cant believe in anyone else
So why sit and wait for the new world to begin
