Treacherous waters make you gamble with life,
And your judgment waits there.
Patterns emerge, from beneath the surface,
Something’s coming up for air.
So many people can’t be wrong,
Read the signs, take notice.
Right now it feels like the dark before the dawn,
But a new order arises.
There’ll be nowhere to run,
There’ll be nowhere to hide,
No place to call your home,
There’ll be nowhere to run,
There’ll be nowhere to hide,
We’ll catch up with you before this is done.
It’s one step forwards, two steps back,
For the people in charge today.
They threaten you with a barrel of a gun,
I say take your aim.
Now’s the time, to change the track,
To change what’s being said.
Coz I don’t wanna live in a world no more,
Being force fed.
Hear the sounds of lives being broken,
As they shatter just like glass.
The prophecies they told you and me,
Were just a farce.
Law and order can’t stand,
When the rules don’t apply to all.
Watch the lies spill out,
Revealing criminals.
It’s one step forwards, two steps back,
For the people in charge today.
The threaten you with a barrel of a gun,
I say take your aim.
It’s the false representation, of your fellow man,
They’ll take away your liberty, sell it on to other hands,
They’ll strip away your dignity, strip you of your rights,
And leave you feeling empty, with fear behind your eyes.
And it’s one step forwards, two steps back,
For the people in charge today.
The threaten you with a barrel of a gun,
But I say take your aim.
Coz now’s the time, to change the track,
To change what’s being said,
Coz I don’t wanna live in a world no more,
I don’t wanna live in a world no more,
No, I don’t wanna live in a world no more,
Being force fed.
The Bar Stool Preachers' experiences have allowed them to create an album that is the perfect blend of intelligent punk
anthems and poignant, unsentimental love songs, both combined with the most infectious music you’ll hear this decade. “Grazie Governo” (Italian for “Thank You Government”) exemplifies this, as the tongue-in-cheek title is the first indication that they're wise beyond their years....more
What a damn solid record! It's the perfect example of why I'm certain that Ska Punk is going to play on the highlight reel when I hit up the afterlife. Scott
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
YEEEES!
YEEEES!
Twenty years later than I would have liked, but hells yes! I stumbled upon "No manners in Ireland" yesterday, cueing the easiest binge buy in a while. This is a nice blend of skillful instrumentalism, great lead voice and good tunes. The old Toasters / Madness / Bosstones fan in me is bouncing off the ceiling again. Thank you for that. You seem to be gathering steam as well. Here's to a long run! raphaelhythlodai
