The state of affairs in the world is fucking with my head,
I'm so sick, of the small minded racists that have been misled,
Can you, explain in layman's terms why it's so great to be white?
Can you, pick out the parts of our history that make you so proud?
I'll just wait,
The state of affairs in the world is fucking with my brain,
I'm so sick, of the sexist mindset that seems so ingrained,
Can you, explain in layman's terms why women are deemed so weak?
Can you, justify why your actions are so damn toxic,
I'll just wait,
The year is twenty twenty-one,
We've not evolved, we're still fucking dumb,
A fascist nation, generally,
A peaceful protest takes a knee, X2
The state of affairs in the world is fucking with my mind,
I'm so sick, of homophobic abuse that continues to rise,
Can you, explain in layman's terms why their lifestyle is so wrong,
Can you, tell me why being straight makes you manly and strong,
I'll just wait,
The year is twenty twenty-one,
We've not evolved, we're still fucking dumb,
A fascist nation, generally,
A peaceful protest takes a knee, X2

At first this will probably sound like pretty raw punk music. However, a careful listener will notice that it is not as chaotic as it might first seem, that the melodies and lyrics intertwine quite smartly, that there is much more than meet the ear at first hear. Those who will continue will discover a very good balance between raw ebnergy and well constructed songs, an immediate sense of urgency which went through just enough refinement. In other words, a great punk album. Thibaut Devigne
