Backstory:
Defenseless Toilet is a band that emerged from the underground scene of San Francisco in the late 90s. The core group of five musicians – Jimmy “Tar” Henley on vocals, Sam “Rusty” Wilson on bass, Donny “Stainless” Morris on guitar, Pete “Ceramic” Davis on drums, and Tommy “Flush” Kolinsky on keys – were known for their notoriously rowdy and eccentric performances. They initially played in hole-in-the-wall bars, touring the neighborhood with their unconventional music and humorous, off-the-wall band name. Defenseless Toilet’s fame quickly spread through word-of-mouth, thanks to their distinctive sound and infectious energy.
The band’s name, Defenseless Toilet, was coined during a late-night jam session in their makeshift studio/bathroom. The name stemmed from a joke about how their music was so powerful it could blow up any toilet. It became a symbol of their unique sense of humor and an ironic testament to their raw and intense musical prowess.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am] Down in the dungeon, [G] where we call home,
[Am] Amidst the echoes, in the [G] shadows, we roam.
[Am] Our voices rise, and the [G] walls they moan,
[Am] We’re the kings, yeah, the kings of the [G] Porcelain Throne.
(Chorus)
[F] Boom boom goes the bass, [G] rattle goes the pipes,
[Am] We’re Defenseless Toilet, and we’re [G] rocking the nights.
[F] No, you can’t tame us, [G] can’t leave us alone,
[Am] Cause we’re the kings, yeah, the kings of the [G] Porcelain Throne.
(Verse 2)
[Am] We spin the tales, in our [G] fortress of sound,
[Am] With a rhythm so wild, it shakes the [G] ground.
[Am] We ain’t no jokers, no pawns, no [G] clones,
[Am] We’re the kings, yeah, the kings of the [G] Porcelain Throne.
(Chorus)
[F] Boom boom goes the bass, [G] rattle goes the pipes,
[Am] We’re Defenseless Toilet, and we’re [G] rocking the nights.
[F] No, you can’t tame us, [G] can’t leave us alone,
[Am] Cause we’re the kings, yeah, the kings of the [G] Porcelain Throne.
