lyrics

Trust, hunt's not following dust
Kicked up holes and they rust
To the beat of an airplane's jet engine
Wars, of the rich man's followed by us
And the poor man's fighting by dusk
O'er the sound of the air forced into his new lungs
And I'm not here to tell you I won't
Think of his friends as they walk
Through the bars, like a caravan careened off the coast
And I'm not here to tell you that
All the fighting has been all for not
But it's not the war that keeps us free

Guns won't help us fight poverty
Sociologically trapped by economies
You, your life is fundamentally changed
By how much or how little you grow up with
And just because your culture worships cash
Doesn't mean the others don't have value

6 million years since the
Advent of bipedal vertebrate land mammals
And what have we to show but clans
Fighting over land, sex, religion and policy

Brothers and sisters, I urge you to sing
With what's left of our breath that we might make a change
Put yourself in the shoes of someone else than you
Take a walk on a social foray

This Machine Kills Sadness LP (2015)
by Caskitt

Amazing record. So-Cal punk band with a nontraditional So-Cal punk sound. And the album name is a reference to Woody Guthrie. The Nucken Futs

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca

On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
