it's just another night
little ones grow dancing with bullets
photographs in scopes
targeted but they're not the enemy
grenades instead of dolls
hugging knees instead of bodies
but they'll learn how to take it
that's just how it goes in this city
young men to the battleground
with their guns, guns, guns, guns
young men on the battleground
(lying) in their guts, guts, guts, guts
abandoned sons by the motherland
a wreck of former youth and understanding
mama, papa
where are you under all the rubble
mama, papa
did you die with your eyes open?
where do we go now?
written on the walls they say
“take your gods and your idols, no saving happens here”
young men to the battleground
with their guns, guns, guns, guns
young men on the battleground
(lying) in their guts, guts, guts, guts
abandoned sons by the motherland
a wreck of former youth and understanding
counting bombs 'till i fall asleep they're counting us like sheep
concrete raining down on me, there's nothing left here
counting bombs 'till i fall asleep, im almost out of time
clawing out, the screaming wont get out of my mind
fuck you and your freedom bathed in blood
young men to the battleground
with their guns, guns, guns, guns
young men on the battleground
(lying) in their guts, guts, guts, guts
abandoned sons by the motherland
a wreck of former youth and understanding
Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
This benefit album for the NEFOC Land Trust by Erica Dawn Lyle (Bikini Kill) and Vice Cooler features an array of punk superstar guests. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 7, 2022
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
