Lyrics

We're dropping bombs like there's nobody there And if there is, it's not like we really care Another kid was blown up to pieces today -- it's OK They're gonna be a terrorist anyway

I was scared for my life, it was in self-defense I was just following orders, what else -- what else can I do? I'm just a cog in this war, what happens if I stop?

The president is an old white man And oligarchs have bought the lay of the land A foreign nazi is building rockets to space -- it's race To bring fascism into this place

I was scared for my job, I have my debts to pay I was just following orders, what else -- what else can I do? I'm just a cog in this machine, what happens if I stop?

I'm so tired of your prose Your talk is so morose There's that saying, how it goes? Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

YES! Takes me right back to high school and loud amps and confused teens rocking out in the back room of the local music store that tolerated us!

Great lyric, fun performance.

Nice rocking traditional punk song, reminded me of my early teens.

It seems like a crazy world we're living in at the moment - on the one hand people have never been more liberal and accepting and on the other there seems to be barbaric treatment of people being endorsed by major world players with the excuse of self defence or democracy.

Unfortunately I don't think you can lay all the blame on the 'Old white man' or the 'Foreign Nazi' - they are just playing to the popularist tune and telling the voting majority what they want to hear.

I think the biggest problem is apathy - every non-vote is a vote for the winning side.

This is a mad song in many ways. The constant anger in the vocals matches the lyrics perfectly, the chords and melody with the 1-semitone changes are very interesting, love that bass. Also love how the STOP manages to stand out among all the rest. The wicked instrumentation in the middle section is also really so energizing, it totally fits.

The lyrics are very interesting and sketch a pretty horrifying picture about what could happen. Also cool how you incorporated the French saying, with an interesting melody line by the way.

Also, I read the tags, I noticed the ABCDEFG thing, I heard the song and I didn't even notice that it was chord-limited. So it's embedded so naturally in this song.

This! Yes! I love the great dark driving punk groove that is a perfect musical stage for the perfectly pointed and disturbing lyrics! Wonderful phrasing and pacing of your expressive vocal delivery! Awesome guitars and effects! Love the hook. Superb, compelling, and sadly very relevant!

Great driving punk track and impactful lyrics. The tone of the song and distinct sections really lends itself to the #abcdefg challenge, it works seamlessly. And a cracking guitar solo
