Sucker for your leader, hooked in
Believing false constructs as doctrine
Hatred and death based on fiction
Perpetuate the pain and friction
Are you human or a walking flag?
Your ignorance is a waste of that body bag
One dead mind costs a million bodies more
As the cost of war
Losing neighbours to your patriot’s mast
By closing your mind you’re losing it fast
The young can’t say where they’re from or where they stand
Before they’re blasted from their mother’s hands
Aggressive, intense, extreme music (punk, hardcore, metal) should be raw and bullshit free, stripped of self-indulgent "mood setting" riffs and arrangements to produce its effect. PUNCH and "They Don't Have to Believe" is a paradigm of this ethos 'par excellence' as they say. _teeth
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
