Not Alright

There’s nothing wrong with the kids today
They’ve got their heads on straight
They see the future and the mess we made
And the hour’s getting late
Kids in the streets, kids in the city
Kids on the land, kids in the country
They know it’s not alright…It's not alright!
Such a world laid out for them
Bright, shining on display
All the potential within their grasp
Like a pinless hand grenade
Kids in the streets, kids in the city
Kids on the land, kids in the country
They know it’s not alright…It's not alright!
There’s something wrong with the kids today
You can see it in their eyes
It’s hard to know what path to take
When everything’s a lie
Kids in the streets, kids in the city
Kids on the land, kids in the country
They know it’s not alright…it’s not alright

Robot Blues

Robots, robots everywhere, I don’t know
They listen to our conversations, say it ain’t so?
Living in the modern times
Don’t think I can keep up
And it’s gonna blow my mind…
It’s gonna blow my mind
Don’t need a robot to comb my hair
Don’t need a robot to change my underwear
Don’t need to robot to open up a fuckin’ door
Don’t need a robot to sweep my goddamned floor
Living in the modern times
Don’t think I can keep up
And it’s gonna blow my mind…
gonna blow my mind

Gunnin' For You
02:04
|

|
Nicky was skinhead, Megan was a punk
Hangin’ in the alleys, always getting drunk
Cops gave them shit in the street one night
‘Cause one of them was black
One of them was white
Always gunnin’, always gunnin’ for you
Gary’s doing bad, dropped out of school
Trouble with the cops, trouble with the rules
They said his only chance is the recruitment store
He rips up the papers, he don’t need their fuckin’ war
Always gunnin’, always gunnin’ for you
Heather’s working late, closing down the bar
Riding home on a bike, gets followed by a car
They’re yelling things, it’s a vulgar display
She whips out her tear gas and sprays it in their face
Always gunnin’, always gunnin’ for you

Rise And Fall
02:46
|
|||
|
Purveyors of religion with new archaic rules
Controlling women’s bodies saying they can’t go to school
Interpreting the scripture with oppression in their minds
When will the world just wake up and leave them all behind?
They have all the king’s horses, all the king’s men
But all the witches’ curses bring them to a bitter end
Day, by day, by day, by day…
They rise, they fall
You know it’s true my friend
They rise, they fall
We’ll be here in the end
Rich are gettin’ richer like a growing cancer cell
Countin’ all the money while the world goes straight to hell
Don’t know if it will save us if we drive electric cars
But one thing I can tell you I ain’t goin’ to fuckin’ Mars
Another little problem I don’t mean to sound rude
But your money won’t mean shit when we’re runnin’ out of food
Day, by day, by day, by day…
They rise, they fall
You know it’s true my friend
We’ll be here in the end

End Time Blues
01:58
|
|||
|
Can you smell the violence, can you feel the heat
Runnin’ through the city, runnin’ down the street
Everything’s decaying, everyone’s in fear
Let’s pack up our shit and get the fuck outta here
End time, end time, end time, end time
End time blues…
Drivin’ through the wasteland looking for some gas
Runnin’ low on water but we still have class
What a civilization, shouldn't you be proud?
Searchin’ for tomorrow in a mushroom cloud
End time, end time, end time, end time
End time blues…
See you in hell my friends…see you in hell
Checkin’ on the ammo, down to just one clip
What a fuckin’ ride, what a fuckin’ trip
Can you take me to a place where the grass is still green
We can see the stars at night and the air is clean
End time, end time, end time, end time
End time blues…

Troubled Times
02:49
|
|||
|
Troubled times are comin’ round
Troubled days in troubled towns
We all know it but I hate to say
Troubled times are here to stay
We had time to change the course
We waited far too long
Now there’s no time to make amends
Because everything, everything’s goin’ wrong
We had time change the course
But we waited far too long
Now there’s no time to make amends
Because everything’s goln’ wrong
Guess there’s something in human nature
It’s our destiny, adept at soiling our own nest-
We fuck up everything we see
These troubled times are tearing my soul
Troubled times are tearing my soul
Take my hand, lead me through these troubled times

No, I don’t want to hear your opinion
We don’t see eye to eye
You wanna talk about stupid conspiracies
And I don’t have the time
There's just too much bullshit you’re being told
Meet you where the streets are paved with gold
There’s too much bullshit and it’s gettin’ old
Meet you where the streets are paved with gold
You think your privy to some secret knowledge
You think the Earth is flat
It’s your excuse to disengage with reality
I’ve had quite enough of that
There’s too much bullshit you’re being told
Meet you where the streets are paved with gold
There’s too much bullshit and it’s gettin’ old
Meet you where the streets are paved with gold

No King
02:37
|
|||
|
There're people on the streets, and they're fuckin’ pissed
'cause they're not getting heard, and it’s time to resist
sick of their rulers, tired of the crown
bringing all the statues crumbling down
(saying)
We don’t need no royalty, no overlord
We don’t need a king…no king
Too much corruption going on for too long
this time we're going to count every vote
plundering the country for their family and friends
there's shouting in the streets-they're gonna be exposed
We don’t need no royalty, no overlord
We don’t need a king…no king

Oh Fashy
01:50
|
|||
|
Saw you there at the waterfront
Proud Boys by your side
I stood there across the street
With the people who came to fight
Police stood between us
We outnumbered you ten to one
Then sure enough up came your bus, and then you fuckin' run
Oh fashy we’re takin’ you to town
Oh fashy we don’t need you around
History repeats itself
And so does your kind
You crop up every couple of years
Like shit attractin’ flies
We’ve had enough of your bullshit
And enough of might makes right
You keep us in the darkness
But we’re reachin’ for the light
Oh fashy we’re takin’ you to town
Oh fashy we don’t need you around
Hold aloft your iron cross
Read your leader's "plan"
Spray paint all your swastikas
And do your nazi dance
We’ll meet you in the forest
We’ll meet you in the fields
We’ll meet you at the dockside
And grind you under heel
Oh fashy we’re takin’ you to town
Oh fashy we don’t need you around

Too much bullshit in this world
Too much grief and pain
Too much pointless suffering
Too much of nothing changed
Too much too much bullshit
Too much too much
I have lost all sense of self
I can’t recall my name
I feel the madness taking hold
I welcome its embrace
Too much too much bullshit
Too much too much

Just Another War
02:25
|
|||
|
A cold winter sun shines dimly
on an unmarked grave
A grieving mother stares with sightless eyes
Through a shattered window pane
You don’t know what you’re fightin’ for
It’s just another, just another war
You don’t know who you're killin’ for
It’s just another, just another war
The propaganda howls
The war machine clamors for more blood
A young man’s dreams extinguished
As his life drains away into the mud
You don’t know what you’re fightin’ for
It’s just another, just another war
You don’t know who you're killin’ for
It’s just another, just another war

Lights Out
02:23

Lights out…one by one
Lights out
The systems the we lived by began to crumble, then vanish in a blink of an eye
And there is nowhere left, nowhere left to go
And what became of these cities of light
The buildings that stood so tall
Now a tumbleweed blows down an empty road
Lights out…one by one
Lights out
Empires fall, this we knew all along
But we were so strong and proud
We thought we were exempt from history’s laws
So those lights went out, one by one
No water flowing from the tap
And there’s nowhere left, nowhere left to go
Lights out…one by one
Lights out

This is one of those albums where I have a different favourite track every week, and it's been like that since the release that is now a year ago. What a massive album, starting out with fist pumping chants and gradually getting more electro but always with that punk grit attitude. Top 3 of 2023.

Hmmm. I thought maybe there was a brief nod on “Security” to The Effigies song of the same name. Probably a coincidence. Looking forward to the new LP!
