New recording from the sessions which also includes "They Own Us All" and "Spoils Of Division" which feature on the ltd demo available from our Big Cartel page (link on right). The demo is hand-numbered on a run of 150 only and includes a 38mm badge and 80mm vinyl sticker.
The song is deliberately recorded to maintain maximum dynamic range for a natural and chaotic sound which attempts to capture POPO's live energy. Crank up and enjoy.
lyrics
It’s there for all to see behind the blacked out lines,
the height of their hypocrisy.
With the money that they earn and a hefty pension
plan, who’d have thought they’d be moved by greed?
We’re closing in,
behind all the lies,
we’re closing in on you!
2 million unemployed and rising everywhere,
you still bailed out your banker friends
so they can claw back all the millions that they lost
from decent folk who earn their crust.
We’re closing in,
behind all the lies,
we’re closing in on you!
You swore a fuckin’ oath when you took that seat in
power to serve, protect, defend;
then you took us off to war, the body bags roll in
and you’re nowhere to be fuckin’ seen.
