The mass murderer in Buffalo may have been committing an act of pure evil, like the sheriff said, but it's a certain, far too common form of pure evil that dates back to the Crusades, and continued with the Puritans. This killer was apparently inspired by a Norwegian fascist, among others driven to purify through slaughter.

Mass Shootings

Wobbly music

For all those killed in the massage parlors of Georgia on March 16th, 2021.  On the anniversary of the My Lai Massacre.

Puritan Slaughter

English adaptation of Nestor Makhno's song. Translation primarily by Emmett Doyle, with assistance and discussion of lyrical choices by Cal Robinet, Liza Gorkova, and Marc Trius. 

C Gm A 
Our wheels are spinning on the highway 
C F 
Freedom has no price
Gm A Bb
The fascists gather ‘round like locusts 
G A
We’ll watch them coming through our sights

Chorus:
Bb Dm
Mother Anarchy adores her children
Bb A
Mother Anarchy will deal the cards
Bb Dm Bb Dm
With a blanket of lead from the back of a tachanka 
Bb A Dm
Anarchy sends her regards! 

Our chests are beating with a fire
Sneaking closer in the night 
We offer no apologies 
We ask no quarter in the fight 

Chorus


The master’s grip is cold and lifeless
The worms are eating it away 
This world we’re building in our hearts
Is growing stronger by the day 

Chorus


Edit: It's nuts to me that this is my most popular song, given how terribly arranged and mixed it is. The whistle needs to be way quieter, the tambourine as well, there should be melodic fills between vocal lines at the ends of verses probably on the bouzouk. Honestly, the whole thing was a quickly made demo to pitch the song to the Wooden Shoe Ramblers before we broke up. The idea was that we'd replace the whistle with accordion and we'd have a strong bass line to give way more drive than the tambourine did. This was intended to sound way more similar to the most well-known Russian language version (Makhno was, but didn't speak, Ukrainian) which is widely shared online. 

This is not a completed song, at all. I'd actually love to re-record it with the right instrumentation, and perhaps some backup singers.
