FANCY PRISON
03:23
|
|||
|
I’m confined
And feeling fine
Lost in space
And lost in time
Purgatory never
Felt so good or bad for me
So warden lock us up
And swallow the keys
Sentence freedom
Minimum term three weeks to life
Fancy prison
Lock down with trouble and strife
I Plead guilty
To just getting by
Fancy prison
For you and them
and I
House arrest I’m impressed
With this nice new bracelet
Tagged me, bagged me
I know what’s coming next
Stockholm syndrome
In my own home
80% of nothing
is nothing
This bridge
Just Like
This house
has no bars
So why
Can’t I leave
or Have you
round at ours
Stockholm syndrome
In my own home
Trapped with myself
This world is my cell

SCENE PAROLE
02:25
|
|||
|
put on blast
left for dead last
ultimate diss
one hit it'll never miss
fallen off your high horse
it's tripped up on your discourse
violate scene parole
lost your seat at the cool table
handle took hold
morals plated in cheap gold
come back from this?
come back from abyss
ancient liar
brand new pariah
lock you up in a wicker pyre
and set that motherfucker on fire
violate scene parole
curtains pulled on rigmarole
ozymandias had a band
had his records pressed in sand
looked at his work with despair
left the scene
boundless and bare

FAKE LAUGH
02:31
|
|||
|
do what you can to get ahead
howl on the outside
your insides are dead
do what you can to fit in
howl like a hyena
and wear a plastic grin
was that joke that funny?
as the last one or the next one or the next one or the next one
modern mating ritual
became habitual
became fictional
became typical
one size fits you all
you're laughing laughing laughing last
the punchline zipped right passed
you didn't get it
do you even know?
what you're getting out of this?
don't you know
this
won't
make
you
missed
HAHA

A SONG FOR DOOM
04:02
|
|||
|
tributes impromtu
came correct but it's still damn harmful
hearts not caught this much hell
since mca passed in 2012
even from the grave
he's the viktor vaughn
posthumous songs
beamed straight to your phone
we're all
doomed
give praise to the metal face
doomed
no stranger to this danger
doomed
can't linger under metal fingers
doomed
no hope to shoulder for the money folder
that year gave me some knocks
but this won't help my rhyme or beatbox
1 beer 2 beers
drown the tears
fingers in ears clear
super villains
don't live a gazillion years
king geedorah went to meet his leader
and all he found was a mic and a speaker
sometimes he rhyme quick
sometimes he rhymes slow
sometimes a no-show
hit's it on the first try
madvillains a good guy
spell it all caps
when we say goodbye
supervillains
don't live a gazillion years
no need to fear
spell it all caps
no more tears
ALL CAPS
we're all
doomed
give praise to the metal face
doomed
no stranger to this danger
doomed
can't linger under metal fingers
doomed
no hope to shoulder for the money folder
losing american's most blunted
has me at my most stunted
LIVE IN ALL CAPS

CONSOLATION PRIDES
03:14
|
|||
|
i hold my chin up
so so high
can't see the cracked road or hazard sign
don't even notice the
writing on the wall
walked off the ledge
nothing to break my fall
consolation prides
murphy's law
threw the book at me
oh yeah it came in threes
'you should be grateful
you still have your health'
at least that pound of flesh is for myself
lift me up
with nowhere to put me
your arms are tired
and no pedestals
free
at least I didn't die
inside
when i tried
WHEN I TRIED

WHAT DO YOU DO?
04:12
|

|
it's racist uncle and it's christmas time
what do you do?
I asked how you're doing I don't care if you're fine
what do you do?
I ask to find out if I make more than you
what do you do?
and if you're cool enough
what do you do?
i do this and that
to get by
this just passes time
that keeps things in line
this feeds my brain
that stops my shit being vain
'i play in a band and i like to talk about it'
what do you do?
'hah! just kidding i don't give a shit'
what do you do?
what keeps you up at night
helps me sleep
what you find shallow
i dig real deep
what you find stupid
i find to be wise
where you find truth
i just find lies
i'll forgive you for pretending to care
what will you do?
i won't care if you're never self aware
what will you do?
i'll be your friend
no matter what till the end
what will you do?
and i'll be ok with your life poorly spent
what will you do?

CAN'T IS THE REAL C WORD
05:06
|

i know a dirty word
worse than you know
i picked it up about
30 years ago
it keeps you in your bed
and pours sand on your head
keep living off time you borrowed
putting off years till tomorrow
c is for - when i'm careless
a is for - apathy
n is for - never knowing
t - to thank me for being me
can't is the real c word
can't is the real c word
can't is the real c word
can't is the real c word
c should be changing
a should be always
n cuz you got natural
t-t-t-t-talent for days
can't is the real c word
can't is the real c word
can't is the real c word
can't is the real c word
it's not my om it's not my mantra
affirmation lies in both the little things
and the bigger picture
don't let you put a spell on you
i am yours and you are mine
don't let you put a spell on you
or in no time
you'll be
conveying
actual
negative
thoughts

what a weekend
now i'm weakened
i don't want to act my age
if all i get is minimum wage
say no no
to the
sunday scare no nos
i don't want to act my age
if all i get is minimum wage
at least i know my place
i earn less than a parking space
i don't want to act my age
if all i get is minimum wage
working 9-5
doomed to just get by

Falco's best since 'Rock me Amadeus', and possibly before. in a just world anybody that had written and recorded hamsterland would spend the rest of their days lounging on a yacht with an unending queue of Tahitian girls bringing them trinkets and baubles, feeding them grapes and catering to their every whim. however, I've been to Cardiff, and it's not quite that. bloody Thatcher.

Confident, strong album by the new line-up. They’re still finding their sound IMO, once they nail that, they’ll be unstoppable…one of the best albums of 2022 for me.
go to album
Misanthropic hardcore punk from NYC that galvanizes jagged guitars and dense production towards satisfying mayhem.
go to album
Blistering post-punk from the UK powered by 100mph guitars and panicked vocals.
go to album
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics.

Not many good political bands anymore, but then I heard these guys! Their lyrics pack a punch!
