This is the debut of Nursing Home 2009. I have uploaded new photos and music to the the myspace page and facebook group. This next phase marks the inclusion of Andrew Sanzo as the new guitarist and co-singer of Nursing Home. Andrew and I have known each other since we were children, but it wasn’t until now that our musical collaboration could be possible.
Nursing Home will always be the voice of Justin Symbol. But like a vampire, it needs fresh blood in order to reinvent itself with each phase of its development. I suffered writer’s block after the dissolution of The Nursing Home Band in Syracuse and my relocation back to Connecticut. The focus on terrorism abroad shifted as a new leader emerged. The white picket fences became black, but Americana and the Nursing Home still plagued me.
Andrew was the cure. He is a rock star and a pharmaceutical messiah.He reinvigorated my Industrial shock terrorism with a dose of speed-infused rock 'n roll from the heart of the Bayou.
“Yankee Dildo” is more personal. The song began with a dream in Syracuse and was stuck in my head throughout the endless summer of 2008 as I toiled in extreme heat, covered in poison ivy and the urine of my shattered ego. It took on a whole new meaning with a misogynistic confrontation in a bar which led to my arrest and conviction as an enemy of the people. It was finally recorded on the Fourth of July as the fireworks blazed in the sky and America greased its collective red white and blue cock on the backyard barbeque. Baba Yaga and I finished the job with a secret recording session in the heart of Delaware.
in addition, I have remastered two classics from The Nursing Home Band’s 2008 album ‘You Don’t Have the Right Not to be Offended’. “Addiction” and “Little Girls” are presented the way they were meant to be heard, with new guitar courtesy of Baba Yaga and new drum programming by yours truly.
The new songs, photos, and lyrics are all available at:

This is Nursing Home 2009. Our days are measured in milligrams. Enjoy it while you can…
Lyrics:
Yankee Dildo
He’s such a manly man
Ya know he’s never gonna back down
He’s got the longest rod
Ejaculating bombs
He walked onto the beach
He saw he raped he came
The children light the fireworks, yeah
And Yankee Dildo smiles
Yankee Dildo
He’ll get your ass in gear
Tell you that peace is for queers
He’s never gonna stop ‘til they’re all dead
Stabbed with his erection
He walked onto the beach
He saw he raped he came
The children light the fireworks, yeah
And Yankee Dildo smiles
He blindfolds America with his cult of masculinity
Red, white and blue plastic cock worshipped likes a divinity
We’d all be better off if he was dead
Cleansed when misogynistic homophobe blood is let
We’ll mark his tombstone with a mutilated dove
Fertilize the flowers with our shit and cum
Goodbye Yankee Dildo may your death bring peace for all
And may all the flames of hell rise up to greet you as you fall
He walked onto the beach
He saw he raped he came
The children light the fireworks, yeah
And Yankee Dildo smiles
