Stay alert
Stay alert
Their incompetence is coming for our life
Stay alert
Stay alert
To how they’re making us a sacrifice
Stay alert to their propaganda
Bold faced lies told with fake candour
In the name of ideology
Stay alert to manipulation
Distortion of the situation
Put us at risk for their economy
Stay alert
Stay alert
To how the world transformed so easily
Stay alert
Stay alert
To all the things they don't want us to see
Stay alert to the latest branding
Designed to twist our understanding
Repeat their slogan in our Twitter feed
Stay alert: their green and yellow warning
Suddenly the truth is dawning
They do not give a shit about you or me
So Stay Alert

WITH BURNING ANGER

With burning anger I
Sing songs written in my youth
Furious that the
lyrics still apply
Police brutality, government lies
Capitalism Sucks, innocents die
The Profitganda media march us to war
The rich getting richer the poor staying poor
With burning anger I
Watch the daily proof
A vindication I wish
I wish was not the truth
Same ideologies/different hairstyles
Progress Ever Backwards for another few miles
Fat on Junk Food News and Culturally Dead
I Fear For The World, cuz it’s losing it’s head
Is This What Democracy Looks Like?
Surely There Must Be More Than This To Life?
Or are we Too Lazy To Live?
With burning anger I
Write another song
Familiar lyrics
Until the problem’s gone
I stared at my navel but now I am back
To point out our failings and show where we lack
I play this guitar with burning anger
We’re still Not The Good Guys
And we never were

Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing
by The Wonder Years
The Wonder Years are a phenomenal band but this, for me, was the album that started it all. Honest, brutal and brilliant.

fucked.
by The Shell Corporation
Again - all of The Shell Corporation's stuff is fantastic, but this album is my favourite and one never far from any playlist I'm putting together.

I was introduced to these guys by Rich from Ignite Records here in Birmingham and have loved everything they've done. But. again, for me, this was the first thing I heard and a favourite ever since.
