Brainwashed out all your sense
No excuse for the consequence
Blind faith hides you from the truth
When unearned trust defies all proof
All reason lost
You honour him despite the cost
Fear of god profound
My screams don’t make a sound
Whose shame is this?
Mine for seeking justice?
Or his or yours
For keeping it behind closed doors
When you protect
Him, it’s me you both neglect
Defend a smile,
Not the welfare of your own child
We can’t speak out
In case the truth incites doubt
Then you question why
I refuse to look you in the eye
Did you ever wonder
What else he could have done to us
With your blessing
With your blessing
My faith is gone
With your blessing
His crusade goes on

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
