about

On extreme prepping as neoliberal hypocricy goes down, taking as many of us as it can. Mid tempo, funky rock with Brian picking up the baton on guitar as Mark exits following a cool solo. Asymetrical piano weaves these melodies together as the drum n' bass rock on.

lyrics

Tins and Guns
I’m a hungry ghost in search of a host
I need a feed, I need it the most.
Top of the tree, it’s me, me, me, endlessly.
Load up on self concern. And lessons poorly learned.

Where more and more is never enough
and there’s a tarnish to your upper crust.
Where all is trashed for a piece of crap for your stash.
Load up on all you can. It’s getting out of hand.

A sense of insecurity
from inside your gated community.
A toxic tide sweeps through,the cracks in your defences.
Load up on prayers and guns. And the fears from which you run.

Designer corpses stain our clothes.
Smell the sweat and dust of those
locked out of our neoliberal hypocrisy.
Load up on handbags and guns. It’s alright for some.

Lost, possessed, Ill at ease. Infected with a wasting dis-ease.
Sleep walking to the bitter end. It’s the latest, consensus trend.

We’ve had our cake and it’s been “et”
It hasn’t been digested yet.
Too many sugars and transnational fats.
Load up on heart attacks. Don’t turn your back.

The stench of need hangs in the air.
The squalor gets up my nose.
I really care but don’t get too close.
Load up on yet more guns. And misfortune to come.

All that’s gained will be lost at an escalating cost.
Grab the goods, they turn bad.
For that we have been driven mad.
Load Up..
Load up on tins and guns. Till it all comes undone.
Load up your boat and run. Get out while you can!
