lyrics

I know you’ve heard this one before
So stop me, stop me, stop me now
But fourscore and seven more
Give it a rest, but I can’t give it a rest
We’ve got no love for anything
Unless it stands to benefit
The one percent of everything
We fall apart, but we don’t give a shit
So take each other by the hand
Before we’re shackled by the wrists
And in the wake of everything
You can’t stand until you take a stand

No quarter No mercy
No windfalls For recidivists

So you’ve heard it all before
But this is for the kids in back
You’re nothing more than dollar signs
They cash you in until they can’t cash you in
So take ahold of apathy
And shake it til it doesn’t breathe
Become a weapon of unity
It’s one for all, not give it all back to me
So take each other by the hand
Before we’re shackled by the wrists
And in the wake of everything
You can’t stand until you take a stand

No quarter No mercy
No windfalls For recidivists

We’ll untie
All their lies
And string them up
By their thumbs
And do to them
What they’ve done
To everyone
In their lives

Buick and Jerry simply slay as musicians and as people. Soaring vocals, politically charged lyrics, loud guitars, and unrelenting drums to send it all home. Damn, just damn. Other Forces

This is the sound of all your raging insomnia thoughts. This is how it feels to be engulfed in flames and put out with your own tears. Other Forces
