Earwyrm is the latest synth-pop odyssey from Shear Neels, delivering a sonic landscape that oscillates between hypnotic melancholy and electrifying defiance. Featuring standout tracks, I Didn’t Mean to Make You Hate Me, Blindeye, and Great Again, the album effortlessly weaves pulsating rhythms with introspective lyricism. Songs like This Is Our Only Escape and Blank Page lean into stark minimalism, while Occupy Monday and Over the Edge bring a restless energy that lingers long after the final note. As Spin and Song 59 push boundaries with avant-garde precision, The Third Act and Care round out the journey with a bittersweet sincerity. 

A minimalist masterpiece, *Earwyrm* is more than an album—it’s an experience.

Earwyrm

Are you middle aged and have you lived through the early 2000s wondering WTF is going on? You'll get this one.

Wracked with guilt at the bottle bank
Each one a jagged tale
Another fight
Another bad night
Feeling withdrawn
Poisoned and pale pale pale 

So, go on, update your status
You're really happy 
You're happy really? 
Cos look what you cooked

Wrapped in a quilt at the food bank 
Shivering in shame
You could be free
But how would they eat?
Strategic withdrawal 
Find a new name name name 

Who cares about your status? 
You're really happy
You're happy really? 
It’s not a good look

You’re trapped in a vault and it’s all your fault
They have more than you and it’s all your fault
You made it your vocation
To forget the combination
An eligible spinster
Has no place on insta

Ragged and wrought at the blood bank
Those organs bear the scars
Brain chemistry
Makes fake life history
Support withdrawn 
And fading so fast fast fast

And who cares where your grave is? 
You’re really happy
You’re happy really? 
Reduced to a book

Now, go on, update your status
You’re really happy 
You’re happy really? 
Cos look what you cooked

I’m still here at the bottle bank 
For years at the bottle bank 
Still here…

The blossom comes and is so fleeting

Rejuvenation’s unique greeting

Fifty times we saw them fall

Now you’re gone and I recall

 

How through the years

You helped me blossom

For all those years

You watched me blossom

 

Blossom is the gossamer

Of love

Gone the springtime 

Comes the bud

 

Through the years

You helped us blossom

For all those years

You watched us blossom

 

A mother’s love 

Compares to none

Expanding into space

Divinity, woah divinity 

Felt without embrace 

 

Those that nurture 

Those that learn

No one to nurture them 

In turn

 

But through the years

You helped her blossom

Despite the tears

And love forgotten 

 

In your stead 

We watch him blossom 

He weeps for you

So very often 

 

Cos through the years

You helped him blossom

For all those years

You watched him blossom

 

When the fruit 

Falls from the tree

No distance in reality 

The old saying is so true 

And all these words

They come from you 

 

One day again 

We’ll watch the blossom 

Some other place 

We’ll see the blossom 

 

Oh, the blossom 

Blossom

We, we are as dust,
And to dust we shall return,
Choking amongst the silent blooms,
We are how the generals learn.
No salvation awaits,
Among the fresh dug crater graves,
Sanctuary for the gasping ranks,
No Angels beckoning to the saved

We become at once particulate
Manifest a death immaculate
Razed to our primordial state
The cold handshake of fate

We, we are as dust 
Corporeal elements burn
Reduced to mere chemistry 
We are how the generals learn 
Barrage provoked 
By the piteous conscript wave
Above us death floats
No Angels beckoning to the saved 

We become at once particulate
Manifest a death immaculate
Razed to our primordial state
The cold handshake of fate

We, we are as dust 
Futile orders grind in turn 
No treasure in this trove
We are how the generals learn 
This rock so inert
No important way to pave
Bury us in stardust 
The cosmos is our grave 

We become at once particulate
Manifest a death immaculate
Razed to our primordial state
The cold handshake of fate

There’s nothing here 
No reason why
No justification 
What drives this abomination?

We are as dust 

We Are As Dust

(The bitter taste of freedom) 
Merry we few,
A carriage bursts with bluster,
The last to sign,
Drained, the hostelries and parks,
Parade grounds packed,
Condemned men,
We merry few
Lay among our final sundew. 

These martial verses
Incantations, curses
Each stanza
Drawing closer to the proof
Each taboo spoken
Each seal wrenched open
Inexorable approach
To the horror of the truth

The dance of correspondence 
The facade of the brave
But to those who know one best 
Inevitable that in, I cave
All my pain
In public domain 
A thorn in many sides
How can one stay silent 
In the face of genocide? 

These martial verses
Incantations, curses
Each stanza
Drawing closer to the proof
Each taboo spoken
Each seal wrenched open
Inexorable approach
To the horror of the truth

Does the virtual command the real?
Direct this play of blood and steel?
The ultimate numbers game,
Abdication of all blame.
Death rates rise,
Birth rates drop.
Our kind comes to a withering stop.

(Bearing witness, the Trove’s crypt revealed 
Deportees wired, terrors obscene 
Lobotomised, neurons firing peels 
At the demand of the machine) 

These martial verses
Incantations, curses
Each stanza
Drawing closer to the proof
Each taboo spoken
Each seal wrenched open
Inexorable approach
To the horror of the truth

We are experiment 
We are controlled
No placebo
No placebo oh oh
Discovered, I gulped the pill
(And suddenly am falling still) 

These martial verses
Incantations, curses
Each stanza
Drawing closer to the proof
Each taboo spoken
Each seal wrenched open
Inexorable approach
To the horror of the truth

Martial Verses

The gun on the wall

In the first scene 

Went off in my hand

In fact

And here we are

Living out a bard’s dream

The lowest ebb

To be exact

Time to play out my dear 

the dread of the third act

 

All the world’s a page

Treading the boards

Enacting the rage 

Never forewarned 

Burning now the stage 

The boy stands oh so sage

 

What twist of plot

Can save me? 

As you exit 

Stage left 

Set in the rot, just maybe? 

As you

See out the guests 

The footlights glare

The full impact 

The audience stares

Worthless contract 

Time to play out my dear 

the dread of the third act 

 

All the world’s a page

Treading the boards

Enacting the rage 

Never forewarned 

Burning now the stage 

The boy stands oh so sage

 

Act one we met and fell in love 

Act two we packed the house 

Then in act three push came to shove

Our happy ending is in doubt doubt doubt 

 

The gun no longer

 hanging there

With some

 great portent

It’s In your hand 

And pointing where? 

Up in the gods I’m sent

And here we are

The full impact

The lowest ebb

To be exact

Time to play out my dear

 the dreadful final act

 

All the world’s a page

Treading the boards

Enacting the rage 

Never forewarned 

Burning now the stage 

The boy stands oh so sage

On your nuclear bomb’s (not wrong)

4 days on
(3 days off) 
That ain’t how we roll
Give that 24-hour love babe
Cos life will take its toll

When our heads hit the pillow 
It’s over and it’s done
But I wish I could dream with you 
Until the morning sun
There’s so little time 
And it just seems such a waste 
If we could join our minds
We could meet up any place

4 days on
(3 days off) 
That ain’t how we roll
Got that 24-hour love babe
Cos life will take its toll

When you love someone 
You’re putting in that shift 
The job’s never done 
But it’s my heart that you lift
Everyone wants a piece of us
And it just seems such a shame 
Each night we could take a holiday 
Imagine away the pain 

I dream of you 
But why can’t you 
Connect with me 
And be there too? 
I dream of you 
And I wish you 
Could share the night 
And be there to

4 days on
(3 days off) 
That ain’t how we roll
Got that 24-hour love babe
Cos life will take its toll

You know it’s you girl 
That I adore 
Meld into my world 
For the whole 24
Wi fi into my mind
Share the euphoria 
I’d wake up feeling so fine 
The sandman’s ignoring ya 

Surely, it’s not beyond all
The smart people like Rondle 
To lace my mind with wi fi
So baby we can dance all night 
Shake your behind to the hi fi
Every time we close our eyes 

(Do do do do you believe) 
The love you send 
You will receive 
(Do do do do you believe) 
The love you send 
You will receive

4 days on
(3 days off) 
That ain’t how we roll
Feel that 24-hour love babe
Cos life will take its toll



24 Hour Love

This decision’s been made for us
By trade boundaries that aren’t so porous 
Hear the chorus and say ta ta
A new shareholder is what you are 
(cha ching Beijing) 
Lose ships 
Iceberg tips
Throw in your chips 
Before we’re broken in bits 

We need a man of steel 
The iron giant 
Firing death rays
Not standing silent 

We’re different now 
Don’t rule no waves 
You see how 
Some things have to be saved 
A union with no unity 
Is no good to you and me 
Stoke the furnace 
Lay down the hull 
Feel the thunder 
Roll down the Humber 

We need a man of steel 
The iron giant 
Beneath the sea
She holds the trident 

Health and efficiency 
Self sufficiency 
The material is raw
The future is war

Strike the hammer blow 
Don’t grab the mic and stammer bro

We need a man of steel 
The iron giant 
Beneath the sea
She holds the trident 


Man of Steel

I watch the ice melt in my glass

See the grind of time pass

Cos Sunday’s on my mind

Wish I’d had the strength to ask

When at length I saw you last

Now Sunday’s on my mind

 

Regret’s a bet I never lose

Yours the path I always choose

Same thing every time 

Cos Sunday, oooh Sunday’s on my mind 

 

Fill my glass and light one more

Like I’ve done a dozen times or more

Cos Sunday’s on my mind

You’ll come home and we’ll fall back in

To those same, familiar things

So, Sunday’s on my mind

 

Regret’s a bet I never lose

Yours the path I always choose

Same thing every time

Cos Sunday, oooh Sunday’s on my mind

 

All week, all those miles

Another bar

More feminine whiles

I stay right here

Can’t help  but wonder

Just whose roof you’re sleeping under

 

Bring my wage, need them dollars 

Wonder, will we scream and holler? 

When Sunday’s on my mind 

Fix your food and watch it chill 

Someday I’ll leave against your will

That Sunday’s on my mind 

 

Regret’s a bet I never lose

Yours the path I have to choose

Same thing every time 

(yeah the same thing every time) 

Cos Sunday 

Woah Sunday’s on my min 

Sunday on My Mind

I wanna take it away

Show you a new day

Make you see and feel

The sun on your face

I wanna take it away

Show you a new way 

Make you feel and see 

Why you’re keeping the faith 

 

You’re not alone 

We all go through this zone 

Mistakes are how we learn

You can only steer

The wheels you can turn 

When things don’t go how you planned 

I can help you fly and safely land 

And at the end of the day 

 

I wanna take it away

Show you a new day

Make you see and feel

The sun on your face

I wanna take it away

Show you a new way 

Make you feel and see 

Why you’re keeping the faith

 

If everything was expected 

We’d always be protected 

It’s hard I know to realise 

That adversity 

Is part of life 

I’ll always help you keep your balance 

Together we meet every challenge 

And that’s why I have to say

 

I wanna take it away

Show you a new day

Make you see and feel

The sun on your face

I wanna take it away

Show you a new way 

Make you feel and see 

Why you’re keeping the faith

 

I wanna be in your place

Cos there but for the grace 

Of love, go I

Go I, 

Go I, I, I... 

There just for the sake of love go I

 

The bars you set 

Expectations you’ve met

Snow capped they’re so high

Leave room for us mere mortals

To fail on the first try

Keep one foot on the ground 

It’s good advice I always found 

This is all I have to say 

 

So now take it away

Find a new day

See and feel

The sun on your face

Now take it away

Found a new way 

Made you feel and see 

Why you’re keeping the faith

 

I wanna be in your place

Cos there but for the grace 

Of love, go I

Go I, 

Go I, I, I... 

There just for the sake of love go I



But for the Grace

Arriving at the knife edge

Didn’t have long to wait

An appointment with our monster 

And didn’t know the date

I didn’t mean to make you hate me

But that’s something I can’t gauge 

Immutable immoveable

And fired at close range

 

Why is this happening?

I don’t know what I’ve done

You provide the bullets

And i provide the gun

 

Something about me’s different

I don’t know the risks 

An appointment with our monster

And I don’t where it is

I didn’t mean to make you hate me

And that’s something I suppose

Unforgiven and forbidden

But hidden in the prose

 

Why is this happening?

Why do I miss the signs? 

You provide the hook

And i provide the line

 

(for you) I’d crawl the surface of the sun

(come here) and kiss me

You’re the only one (the only one) 

 

Fallen from the knife edge 

De-escalating fast 

Our monster is placated

Retreats into the past 

I didn’t mean to make you hate me 

But I’m quite glad that I did

Learning and returning 

To someone more placid

 

Why did this happen 

It comes on very fast 

It wasn’t the first time 

But let’s make it the last 

 

(for you) I’d crawl the surface of the sun

(come here) and kiss me

Cos you ARE the only one (the only one) 

 

I didn’t mean to make you hate me 

(mean to make you hate me) 

I didn’t mean to make you hate me 

(make you hate me) 

I didn’t mean to make you hate me 

(hate me) 

Hate me 

Hate me 

Hate me 



I Didn’t Mean to Make You Hate Me

History deleted
Numbers withheld
Someone else is in your life
And you think I can’t tell
Lying awake
I hear your foot on the stair
Hear another voice
But then there’s nobody there
Tell me that I’m wrong 
That’s it’s all a delusion 
But when I found that credit card 
I draw just one conclusion 

And nine times out of ten 
I would believe you 
Nine times out of ten
I wouldn’t care 
Cos nine times out of ten 
I would forgive you 
And nine times out of ten 
You wouldn’t dare 

History repeated 
Favours withheld
Someone else is in your car
And you think I can’t tell
Making mistakes 
I hear you talk on the speaker 
See my face at the window 
And quickly delete her
Tell me that I’m jealous 
That I’ve misunderstood 
Think I won’t find your second phone 
In her Norwegian wood

And nine times out of ten 
I would believe you 
Nine times out of ten
I wouldn’t care 
Cos nine times out of ten 
I would forgive you 
And nine times out of ten 
You wouldn’t dare 

There’s no benefit in doubt 
You say you’re in
But then you’re out
Trust it melts like springtime snow 
And we’ve both both both both
Both got nowhere to go

History defeated 
Misgivings withheld
Showed me the proof
And I think I can tell
Lying beside you 
Say my name in your sleep 
So I pick up my phone 
Got a promise to keep 
A game for two
And I played too
Swiping right in the night 
And then I see you 

And nine times out of ten 
I would believe you 
Nine times out of ten
I wouldn’t care 
Cos nine times out of ten 
I would forgive you 
And nine times out of ten 
You wouldn’t dare 


Nine Times Out of Ten

Afraid to go in

Cos you know what’s waiting

Safety so close

Surely, they must know

Hands in the sink

Can’t wash away the sin

 

For how many years 

Did you turn a blind eye? 

Acknowledge the cries

But refuse to reply

For how many years

Did you turn a blind eye? 

Dare to speak and be

Ignored and maligned

No one would believe 

The sins that I have seen 

 

Lying in state 

A chance I could take 

To tell the real story 

Release fresh purgatory 

Hands in the font 

Your blessing foregone

No one would believe 

The sins that I have seen 

 

For how many years 

Did you turn a blind eye? 

Acknowledge the cries

But refuse to reply

For how many years

Did you turn a blind eye? 

Dare to speak and be

Ignored and maligned

 

Justify it to your self

Convinced I’m complicit 

Justify the endless wealth 

Then refuse to give it

 

Afraid no longer 

Survivor’s stronger 

Sanctuary unwanted 

Kindness much vaunted

I do not think of those transgressions 

You have not won, there’s no succession 

Because no one would believe 

The sins that I have seen 

(No one would believe) 

(The sins that I have seen) 



Blind Eye

You never knew
You’ll never know
Life is a crime scene
And there are places you can’t go

It’s inexplicable 
You just see the awful 
Truth 
The tragedy of youth 
How did he feel? 
Was it for real? 
No proof. 
Highs and lows
Voltage flows
You can’t feel what’s in his head 
Extension of memory suspended (pretended) 

You never knew
You’ll never know
Life is a crime scene
And there are places you can’t go

It’s unobtainable 
You can’t see the awful 
Truth 
The tragedy of youth 
Digital dystopia 
Trauma dysmorphia
No clues. 
Highs and lows
Neuro transmitters come to blows
A life collapsed
Because you’ll never read that synapse 

You never knew
You’ll never know
Life is a crime scene
And there are places you can’t go
(do you truly want to though?)

Who are you protecting?
When you know you’re not detecting
And everyone’s electing
Ambivalent consent
They don’t know what it meant
(Too late the life is spent)

You never knew
You’ll never know
Life is a crime scene
And there are places you can’t go
(do you truly want to though?)

It’s not Immutable 
Playback of the changing 
Truth
The tragedy of youth 
Why the only question 
Asked without cessation 
No proof 
Lows and highs 
Can be disguised 
Where there signs that you missed? 
Case closed. Another number for the list


Life is a Crime Scene

What are these?

Asked the child

Come and see

The librarian smiled

And in that smile lived hope

They’re called books

She asked if this was a joke

What are they for?

What do they store? 

The librarian paused 

Then closed the door

 

The flame flickers 

In the night 

Thoughts travel

Overtaking light 

Undoing every curse

The last library in the universe 

 

Her fingers ran 

Down every spine 

The complete span 

Of recorded time

Don’t touch without these gloves 

They are precious, must be loved

They’re made from trees? 

Oh please? (Is this a tease?) 

The librarian shook his head 

Because of me ideas aren’t dead

 

The flame flickers 

In the night 

Thoughts travel

Overtaking light 

Undoing every curse

The last library in the universe 

 

Ideas are viral

I keep samples 

In case they spiral 

For each example 

There’s a counter, a cure

Like vaccination?

Are you sure? 

 

The flame flickers 

In the night 

Thoughts travel

Overtaking light 

Undoing every curse

The last library in the universe 

 

For many hours 

Read the student 

Each tome devoured 

She became lucent

And in her smile lived hope 

Fresh encounters, much to learn 

She asked if she could return 

What for? 

Could you absorb more? 

The student paused 

And closed the door. 

 

The flame flickers 

In the night 

Thoughts travel

Overtaking light 

Undoing every curse

The last library in the universe 



The Last Library in the Universe

Will we always long for summer? 

Once the seasons realign 

Or will we have to cower

From the dangers of the climes? 

Imagine only winter 

Brings solace to the mind

These are the thoughts

That plague me 

In this Song 59

 

[Chorus] 

The future’s a place

I don’t wanna go

My children’s fate 

One I’ll never know 

Wanna live in a loop

Of safe space and time 

Singing my old song 59

 

What happens when the war comes? 

We’re not ready, have not learned

In range of hypersonic horror 

Once treaties have been burned 

Imagine forever winter

No solace for the mind

These are the thoughts

That plague me 

In this Song 59

 

[Chorus]

The future’s a place

I don’t wanna go

My children’s fate 

One I’ll never know 

Wanna live in a loop

Of safe space and time 

Singing my old song 59

 

We all live in terror 

But was it always so (woah woah) 

To sing must be the only thing

God’s whistling in the dark alone 

 

[Instrumental break] 

What will our children’s children 

Feel as they grow up? 

No sobriety in anxiety 

Strung out on those drugs

Imagine when the fall comes

Don’t want to stand beside 

These are the thoughts 

That plague me

In this Song 59 

 

[Chorus]

The future’s a place

I don’t wanna go

My children’s fate 

One I’ll never know 

Wanna live in a loop

Of safe space and time 

Singing my old song 59

 



Song 59

Hey miss
May I beg your pardon
But I know there’s a bench
In that pub garden
And it’s got our name on it
So why don’t we go sit?
(Gossip and get the hot tips) 
Hey miss 
May I be so bold 
But it won’t be long
Before we get old
So while no one’s looking 
Let’s go see what’s cooking 

[Chorus] 
Now the week’s almost done 
So let’s have a cheeky one
We’re through being clever 
So let’s sneak off together 
Baby, I love you 
And that is because you 
Give me some some some some something to look forward to 

Hey miss
May I beg your pardon
Lose that frown
Don’t let your face harden 
Let’s put a smile on those lips 
Get up and shake those hips
(Pay attention there might be a quiz) 
Hey miss 
May I be so bold 
Yeah bring that coat 
Cos it might get cold
Grab a ride into town 
We’ll be there till the sun goes down 

[Chorus] 
Now the week’s almost done 
So let’s have a cheeky one
We’re through being clever 
So let’s sneak off together 
Baby, I love you 
And that is because you 
Give me some some some some something to look forward to 

[Bridge] 
It’s so hard to hold things down
Let’s  forget everything
And chill for now 
We’ll take five
Do the dip dip dive 
And remind ourselves that we’re still alive

[Instrumental Break] 

Hey miss
May I beg your pardon
But I know there’s a place 
That’s a massive bargain 
Happy hour that lasts all night 
You deserve it, after this fight 
(Of course you look all right) 
Hey miss 
May I be so bold 
But they play those tunes 
That are guaranteed gold
I know you’re doing your best 
But your boss already left

[Chorus] 
And the week’s almost done 
So let’s have a cheeky one
We’re through being clever 
So let’s sneak off together 
Baby, I love you 
And that is because you 
Give me some some some some something to look forward to

Cheeky One

When did it become a thing
This disorienting spin?
I never asked to live here
I didn’t volunteer
Don’t recognise
Due to disguise
The land I'm living in
When did it become a thing?
This disorienting spin?

[Chorus] 
A force centripetal
Is holding me down
Response reciprocal
Going around
Hear the denial 
Dismiss the trial
Roots spread unseen
When they grow underground

When did it become a thing
This disorienting spin?
I never asked to come here
Take your jobs and drink your beer 
I was trying to escape 
The promised freedom was fake 
Condemned the land I'm living in
When did it become a thing?
This disorienting spin?

[Chorus] 
A force centrifugal 
Is throwing me out 
Response political 
Dragging us down 
Hear the denial 
Dismiss the trial
Roots spread unseen
When they grow underground

[Bridge] 
Is there a standard model of bigotry 
Bound by the weak force of apathy 
Quanta of dissatisfaction 
Not equal but opposite reaction 

[Instrumental break] 

When did it become a thing
This disorienting spin?
I never asked to learn this 
For myself, I could discern this 
Unbalanced curriculum 
Repeated verbatim 
Can’t hear me over the din
When did it become a thing?
This disorienting spin?

(Johnny Tectonic)

When did it become a thing
This disorienting spin?

Short Week  (Remix)

Don’t just 
Stand there
You’re supposed to
 (care) 
Won’t just 
Get a fanfare 
You’re supposed to
(care) 

It’s your job
Or should I say 
Your calling
(I must say) 
The service is appalling
They used to applaud 
But then they got bored
They’d rather stop the boats
Than keep you afloat 

Don’t just
Stand there
You’re supposed to
 (care)
Won’t just 
Land there
You’re supposed to
(care) 

From pillar 
To post 
Measuring performance 
Counts the most 
These are just people
Doing a job
At the end of every month 
They’re all being robbed 

Don’t just 
Stand there
You’re supposed to
 (care) 
I see your 
 Grand air
You’re supposed to
 (care) 

[Bridge] 
Why celebrate 
When 
It’s about to start
All over again 

[Instrumental Break] 

Don’t just 
Stand there
You’re supposed to
 (care) 
Don’t give
A canned stare
You’re supposed to
(care)

[Chorus] 
Baby we in gridlock
You start to move
And then stop
Baby we in gridlock
Oh oh oh overheated
Over you you you 
Just can’t see no way through

Girl, you sleek
Stopping all the traffic 
In any given street 
Causing me to panic 
Irregular heartbeat 
Should I admit defeat? 
You say maybe 
When I say yes
It happens daily 
And I’m feeling the stress 
(cos) 

[Chorus] 
Baby we in gridlock
You start to move
And then stop
Baby we in gridlock
Oh oh oh overheated
Over you you you 
Just can’t see no way through


You get them beeps (beep beep) 
Stopping all the work
In any given street 
Making me feel manic
Damn you so sweet 
Should I admit defeat? 
You say maybe 
When I say no
It happens daily 
You torture my soul
(cos) 

[Chorus] 
Baby we in gridlock
You start to move
And then stop
Baby we in gridlock
Oh oh oh overheated
Over you you you 
Just can’t see no way through

My life was a long long open road
(yes it was) 
Until  baby you came along
Now every route is closed
(and I don’t know where to go) 

You got them curves (ooh hoo) 
Slippery when wet
You make me swerve
Baby don’t go yet 
Kick me to the kerb 
Girl I’m all set 
You say ok 
And I say what? 
Pedal to the metal 
We found that short cut
(cos) 

[Chorus] 
We outta gridlock
On the move
And we don’t stop
We outta gridlock 
No no overheating 
Over you you you 
We making our way through


Gridlock

How can you say we won freedom
When we were never free?
How can you dance and bag the drum? 
You don’t know what it is to be me
I lived with empty shelves
No decisions for ourselves
My mother prayed to a hidden lady
They took her away when I was a baby

History is written by the winning side 
I lived through the next genocide 
Don’t march and wave your flag here
For years I lived in paranoid fear 

How can you honestly say we won 
Never stopped living under the gun 
Replace one uniform with another 
Worn proudly by our brothers 
Don’t give an empty thanks 
They just sent in the tanks
Hungry alone and ever prone 
While the TV constantly emits the tone 

History is written by the winning side 
I lived through the next genocide 
Don’t march and wave your flag here
For years I lived in paranoid fear 

For us it’s as though the century 
Was something that happened in other countries 
Populations didn’t feel progress 
No space program for the masses 
Hunger and cold extends
Become familiar old friends 
And the lands of the free
Are no longer at liberty 

History is written by the winning side 
I lived through the next genocide 
Don’t march and wave your flag here
For years I lived in paranoid fear 






Pyrrhic Victory

It begins around three thirty
On a Sunday afternoon
Private jets from Zurich
Heralds for the gloom
Summon up the courage
To contemplate the fact
That tonight is a school night
The Monday monster’s back

[Chorus]
You are mine
I will own you
No matter how you try
You can’t darken my sky
I’m occupying Monday
Or at least that’s what I think on Sunday

Long shadows cast by small things
Take a drink to clear the gloom
Delaying the inevitable 
With the spinning of the room
Summon up the courage
To contemplate the fact
That tomorrow’s crawling closer 
There is no going back 

[Bridge] 
I have to fool myself 
Into getting out of bed
Cos the Monday monster’s hungry 
And demanding to be fed

[Instrumental Break] 

[Chorus]
You are mine
I will own you
No matter how you try
You can’t darken my sky
I’m occupying Monday
Or at least that’s what I think on Sunday

Courage from the low countries
Helps to start the day 
Dream a plan of occupation 
As the journey slips away 
Arrival at the temple 
To worship the blind idol 
And realise the fact 
That what you’re doing’s pointless 
And the whole thing is an act 

[Chorus]
You are mine
I will own you
No matter how you try
You can’t darken my sky
I’m occupying Monday
Or at least that’s what I think on Sunday


Occupy Monday

I can only travel forward (in time)
I hope you get to me (in time)
I hope it doesn’t seem untoward (in time)
Regretting all my entropy (in time)

And one of the things I find the hardest 
It’s like coming home to an empty Tardis
The cathedral of my heart razed to the ground 
The joy is lost, will it ever be found? 

You'll see me grow old (in time) 
No surprise regeneration (in time) 
If you ask, you’ll be told (in time) 
I’ll brave the conversation (in time) 

And one of the things I find the hardest 
It’s like coming home to an empty Tardis
The cathedral of my heart razed to the ground 
The joy is lost, will it ever be found? 

Bill, Pat and good old Jon
But my memories begin with Tom
A Fendahleen still haunts my dreams 
(But not as much as you it seems) 

We’ll be ok I’m certain (in time) 
The world moves in four dimensions (in time) 
You’ll see behind the curtain (in time) 
Relieve the unexplained tensions (in time) 

And one of the things I find the hardest 
It’s like coming home to an empty Tardis
The cathedral of my heart razed to the ground 
The joy is lost, will it ever be found?

There’s harmony in your eyes
So much harmony in your eyes
There’s harmony in your eyes
So much harmony in your eyes
(don’t dematerialise) 

And one of the things I find the hardest 
It’s like coming home to an empty Tardis
The cathedral of my heart razed to the ground 
The joy is lost, never to be found


Empty Tardis

See now how the fog is lifting
Burnt back by a sunlit gift
Feel now how the mood is shifting
Holy days approach is swift
Gone the darkness 
Of our past, lest 
We forget how blessed we are 
With all of those we love around us
Pilgrims of Utopia

[Chorus] 
Driving on the road to joy now
Hands entwined, we travelled far
To the ancient temple we bow
By love, all folk levelled are

Short the time 
We spend in Eden
Long the rhyme 
Of life’s cruel verse 
May all who quest 
For peace’s season
Find bounty 
In sweet nature’s purse
Winter’s grip 
Is finally broken 
Lift our faces to the sun 
Elysium’s gates are finally open 
See the grace in everyone 

[Chorus]
Driving on the road to joy now
Hands entwined, we ever quest 
To the ancient temple we bow
Of kindness’s light we do attest 

[Bridge] 
[Rap] 
On this jam I’m beholden 
To mister Beethoven
And for his day’s Thriller 
I say thanks to Herr Schiller
On the road with the ode
To love’s abode
I think we showed 
In some mode 
That we’re all just nodes
In a blessed nest of consciousness 
One love not from above 
You can guess the rest 

[Instrumental Break] 

[Chorus]
Driving on the road to joy now
Hands entwined, before the light
To the ancient temple we bow
Reaching ever greater heights 


Road to Joy

[Rap] 
I’m out
No doubt you’re gonna scream and shout
But what do you expect?
When every night you’re wrecked
And every other guy with a pair of eyes
Has checked
You out?
I feel like you’re another emcee
Baby
And all you wanna do is battle me
(imagine what a sight that’ll be) 
But listen
You aint got the flow to deal with
These bars cos too many jars
You fill with
Whatever the next man bought for you
I feel like an X Man and you the Brotherhood of Evil Mu
Tants, so get that hand out your pants
I ain’t falling for your Mystique disguise
I be like Scott Summers
Take a look in my eyes
What we had has melted
You never even felt it
Like ice cubes on your body
May I quote Thomas Hardy? 
Of love it may be said
The less earthly
The less demonstrative
And yeah you an angel
At least in looks
But you acting like the devil
With your flirtatious playbooks
Your photons don’t hit my retina
And you dissing on me, saying I got that patina
So I really think it’s time for us to stop
Listen up close for the sound of the mic drop 

[Chorus]
Just like the shark tank
Or the dragon’s den
You aint worth my further investment 
So I say thanks 
Kiss your cheek and then 
Unplug my mic and break north
(break north) 
[Scratching] 
Uh go off uh go off

[Rap] 
We met before I got famous 
Now you barely know what my name is 
I’m not Spammy Bee
I’m not Korned Beef Keith 
So I must be someone else 
And you a heart thief 
You said I was dark and handsome 
Then perpetrated a cardiac ransom 
You flooded me with dopamine 
Cos you said my rhymes was dope (I mean) 
What on earth was I supposed to do? 
Don’t wanna reminisce over you 
Like a cool summer breeze against my epidermis
You’re miss piggy which makes me Kermit
But we gotta stop playing that music 
And it’s time to put out the lights 
Cos I think I make you sick
I’m tired of all these petty fights 
So after this jam my mic is getting slammed 
On the boards (and don’t wait for me) 
At the frickin stage door 

[Chorus]
Just like the shark tank
Or the dragon’s den
You aint worth my further investment 
So I say thanks 
Kiss your cheek and then 
Unplug my mic and break north
(break north) 
[Scratching] 
Uh go off uh go off

[Rap] 
Now my two brothers in verse 
Relationships were cursed
But I gotta (good feeling) 
About you (you so appealing) 
So why don’t we write a pre nup now? 
Oh Romeo where the fup art thou? 
I’m here love, just calm down, innit? 
Just give me a flippin minute 
I had a couple of Guinness at the G Town boat 
You know, with the Bro’s that reform their vote
Heaven knows what this prose is gonna lead to 
I be like Leo Sayer singing (when I need you) 
I used to treat love with healthy cynicism 
But I think there’s a chance I could (shoot the jism) 
Fresh like Dougie when it comes to sex
And I shoot the sure shot when erect 
A to the hip hip hop, you don’t stop 
Baby check out my microphone drop
[Sound of a microphone being dropped] 

Mic Drop

(In that reality)
I still left college in nineteen ninety
With a Bee Tec in computers
Who needs a degree?
Went to work in the office
That time forgot
All good material for my coming moon-shot
We stayed together saving 
Didn’t go out raving 
Helped your brother out with some 
Crazy paving 
'93 came and to me it was clear 
It was time to get on air for the poorly old dears
One thing led to another and by ‘96
You and I were shacked up with 
An anti-social rabbit 
Then came the opportunity and I just had to grab it 

[Chorus] 
It could all have been so different 
It could have been much worse 
When I count my lucky numbers 
And realise I lost my purse 

[Instrumental Break] 

(In that reality) 
This is where things really diverge 
When the many worlds in my head 
Never ever merge 
It’s not what you know (that’s lucky) 
Cos I didn’t know much 
Made the right connection 
Signed a contract and such 
Ditched my mates
Took early morning trains
Got paid for writing different jokes 
Where the punchline was the same 
Then in a pub in London came a bright idea 
Try your hand at stand up
You can work and still drink beer 

[Chorus] 
It could all have been so different 
It could have been much worse 
When I thank my lucky stars 
And realise I’m in the wrong universe 

[Bridge] 
Then you came to watch the show 
One night in Camden Town 
You saw me with that it girl
And I really let you down 
You gave me back the ring 
Took the rabbit and went home
Left me and Johnny Walker 
To do it on our own 

(In that reality) 
Dependency had swallowed me 
By the time I came to film
The pilot of a sketch show 
With a mediocre bill
It didn’t get green lit
My world collapsed 
I turned up on your doorstep 
And got punched by your dad
The millennium passed me by
And I washed up on the shore 
Of a long-forgotten panel show 
On late night channel 4
It ran for just one season 
Melted away fast 
By the time you had your first kid
My agent’s phone had rung its last

[Chorus] 
It could all have been so different 
It could have been much worse 
When I finally hit top gear 
And realise I'm in reverse 

Reality TV
Didn’t want me 
No 24 hour access 
To this non celebrity 
How would it have ended? 
Thank god it’s all too late 
For me to make all those mistakes 
Do you want a digestive with your tea? 
Cos you should never hesitate 


My Imaginary Career

We lived in a sugar cube
Until the house got melted
By a storm in our tea cup
Life was sweet in the sugar cube
Mum was occasionally sad
And Dad could be very abrupt
Something stirred in the sugar cube 
My brother played Dire Straits 
And when he came back from drinking with his mates
I’d dream he was a gorilla 
Whilst listening to Michael Jackson’s thriller 

[Chorus] 
One lump or two
Uncomfortable shoes
Life wasn’t that rough 
In a hand me down cardigan 
You’re sweet enough 

We lived in a sugar cube 
And didn’t like ginger nuts 
If you’re careless 
They can really fup you up
Live aid from the sugar cube 
Who knew that you
And me would need charity 
Before the end of the twenty twenties 
But back in the sugar cube 
We played out all day 
Avoided the weirdos
That  for hours at a time 
Laid in the long grass 
Staring at a lady’s washing line 

[Chorus] 
One lump or two
Uncomfortable shoes
Life wasn’t that rough 
In a hand me down cardigan 
You’re sweet enough

[Bridge] 
Everything seems better 
From a distance 
Like your entire life
Just for instance 
The yarn I’m spun from’s very cheap 
Any of this could happen to you next week 

[Guitar Solo] 

Sunday afternoon in the sugar cube 
Would find us miles away 
The scream of leather on willow 
A different park to play 
Swiss roll and sugar cubes 
Give a sandwich a hard edge 
And a silly mid off
Once you’ve cleaned the dog poo off
Cousins’ aunty’s uncles
Very much Simon but no Garfunkle
It’s just what you do 
Growing up in a sugar cube 

[Chorus] 
One lump or two
Uncomfortable shoes
Life wasn’t that rough 
In a hand me down cardigan 
You’re sweet enough


Sugar Cube

This one’s for the spark
Inspiration that lights the dark
In the middle of the night
When it’s too late to get up and write
And something special slips
Gently from your finger tips

[Chorus] 
Somewhere you’re singing 
At the top of your lungs 
To a tune no one’s heard 
Karaoke for the never were 
Pick my favourite song 
You can never go wrong 
The words were momentary 
Royalties unnecessary 
This one’s for you
(Oh yeaaaaaahhhh) 
This one’s for you 

This one’s for the consciousness
That never had the chance to coalesce
We never met 
We never will
But you have to know 
I love you still 

[Bridge] 
You could have topped 
The streaming charts 
Ethereal and in the dark 
Serial offender of the arts 
Glimpsed at the bottom of a glass 
And I can’t compensate 
Feels like I’m missing the middle eight 

[Chorus] 
Somewhere you’re singing 
At the top of your lungs 
To a tune no one’s heard 
Karaoke for the never were 
Pick my favourite song 
You can never go wrong 
The words were momentary 
Royalties unnecessary 
This one’s for you
(Oh yeaaaaaahhhh) 
This one’s for you 

This one’s for the memories
Of things we don’t remember 
Picked a name, imagined 
But you chose another gender
In some alternative to this
Did we walk hand in hand? 
I wouldn’t change a moment 
Impermanent as sand

[Chorus] 
Somewhere you’re singing 
At the top of your lungs 
To a tune no one’s heard 
Karaoke for the never were 
Pick my favourite song 
You can never go wrong 
The words were momentary 
Royalties unnecessary 
This one’s for you
(Oh yeaaaaaahhhh) 
This one’s for you 




Songs That Never Were

[Rap] 
Where I reside  
We quantum-slide through surge tides  Shelter’s glitchy  
Overflow of mood-suicides  
Scent-tags cling  
Signal-rank in olf-winds  
Neighbor-nodes? 
No aid-pulse sent  
You scan and sense:  
Greenform dropped our hab-stack  
Crumbled clean in wealth-waste  
Martian kin sip our scrap-trace  
I’m coded to crave that chlorophage face

[Chorus] 
Halt the fleet  
I can’t thread this heat  
No perm on Earth-tier  
You ain't Terra-Sapien  
Scan your aqua-cred  
Reroute far off-grid  
Luna’s soft, they said  

[Rap] 
My shelter’s less swell than my neuro-shell  
Couldn’t secure our ancestral claim  
Biome misaligned to Earth-frame  
Crowdforms here plan extinction script  
My kind = glitch  
MarsGov silent on this line  
Kin-codes wiped from our design  
Didn’t seek this sparse airspace  
I long to decrypt Olympus’ shade  

[Chorus] 
Cease fleet ops  
I’m null in these drops  
Landing blocked  
We’re non-Homo stock  
Aqua-stamps expire  
Send us farther, flyer  
Europa’s calm, they wire 
[Scratching] 

[Rap] 
Gave you cell
Hear kin yell
Stamps few sell 
Eat too well
Break through shell
Hear death knell
Wave do swell
Run do tell
Grave you fell
Under due spell
Brave new hell
Brave new hell
Exist and persist 
This brave new hell

[Scratching] 

Brave New Hell

You. 

You’re the one to blame

You never turned that spark of talent

Into any kind of flame

And now the towering inferno

Of what might have been 

Is soaking in the drizzle 

But let’s not cause a scene 

You’re living in a sliding puzzle 

Like a dog inside your muzzle 

And although it’s never spoken 

She’s heartbroken with that record token

 

[Chorus] 

I’d pour out my heart 

But my soul is half empty 

What remains is watered down 

Regrets are two a penny 

And is any

Body listening 

To the fading beat 

I’d pour out my heart 

Snatch a glorious defeat 

From the jaws of a victory

So, so sweet 

But my soul is half empty 

And I can’t quite get to my feet

 

Me. 

I’m the one to blame 

Too lazy to make a difference 

Claim any kind of name

So self-absorbed 

They should call me Spongebob

I’m never in the room

Always on the job

I would quantize love

Made it tangible to hold it

Poured out my heart 

Put it online and sold it 

And although it’s never spoken 

She always keeps her options open 

 

[Bridge] 

I could fill the Albert Hall with my regret 

But someone’s already done it, you can bet

Coulda Shoulda Woulda

My stock in trade 

Profits are down

Redundancies made

How much pain could we have saved

If we’d known we were doomed at the start

The owner operator of a second-hand broken heart 

 

[Chorus] 

I’d pour out my heart 

But my soul is half empty 

What remains is watered down 

Regrets are two a penny 

And is any

Body listening 

To the fading beat 

I’d pour out my heart 

Snatch a glorious defeat 

From the jaws of a victory

So, so sweet 

But my soul is half empty 

And I can’t quite get to my feet

 

Them. 

They’re the ones to blame. 

Always intently watching 

Through their tiny window panes

Curtains twitching 

Trolling, bitching

Just itching 

To twist the knife 

If variety is the spice of life

Make mine a Korma 

If music be the food of love 

Make mine Nessun Dorma

No song is worth thirty quid

No matter how much work you did 

 

[Chorus] 

I’d pour out my heart 

But my soul is half empty 

What remains is watered down 

Regrets are two a penny 

And is any

Body listening 

To the fading beat 

I’d pour out my heart 

Snatch a glorious defeat 

From the jaws of a victory

So, so sweet 

But my soul is half empty 

And I can’t quite get to my feet



Half Empty

I wish I’d met you when
You’d run down alleys
And back again
I wish I’d met you when
Time had no tallies
No guardian 

[Chorus] 
I could have been
At your shoulder
I could have been 
Between you and him
I volunteer to be your soldier 
Burn as your Seraphim 
I’ll worship you as promised
Forgiven and admonished 
Cos I was never there 
Forever remained 
The empty chair 
The empty stare
Cos I was never there 

I wish I’d met you when 
You cried in corners 
Without a friend 
I wish I’d met you when 
You hated you 
Scratching at your skin 

[Chorus] 
I could have been
At your shoulder
I could have been 
Between you and him
I volunteer to be your soldier 
Burn as your Seraphim 
I’ll worship you as promised
Forgiven and admonished 
Cos I was never there 
Forever remained 
The empty chair 
The empty stare
Cos I was never there

[Bridge] 
I was only down the road 
So close 
So close
So close 
But it might have been the nearest star 
So far 
So far 
So far

[Cello break] 

I wish I’d met you when 
You bathed the kids 
And I worked instead 
So glad I met you when 
The midnight coats
Were beckoning 
At the stroke of midnight 
The dying moments of eighty-seven 
You became my Cherubim
Arriving at our private heaven 

[Chorus] 
I could have been
At your shoulder
I could have been 
Between you and him
I volunteer to be your soldier 
Burn as your Seraphim 
I’ll worship you as promised
Forgiven and admonished 
Cos I was never there 
Forever remained 
The empty chair 
The empty stare
Cos I was never there


Neverthere

You’re nothing
A laughable swagger
Ridiculous bragger
Why are we
Why are we
Why are we
Pussy footing
Around you? 

You’re nothing 
You don’t lead
You only mislead
You get others to bleed
On your behalf 
Short man syndrome 
Makes us laugh 
Why are we
Why are we
Why are we
Pussy footing
Around you 

How do you sleep? 
With those numbers 
On your desk? 
Or don’t you read them 
What’s a million 
More or less? 

Whoever’s history is verifiable 
Yours is undeniable 
Murder justifiable? 
Why are we
Why are we
Why are we
Pussy footing
Around you 

A reckoning 
It’s beckoning 
Little mongol man 
Why are we
Why are we
Why are we
Pussy footing
Around you 


Pussy foot

We were not
Supposed to end up
In this
Un ess
Un ess
Un ess
Unescapable rut
It’s our lot
We get sent up
In this
Un ess
Un ess
Un ess
Unescapable rut

[Chorus] 
I let you down gentlyyyyy
The only way 
That I know how
It wasn’t 
meant to be 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
The only way 
We can live now
I let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sorry that we fell this far 
I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy

Aspirationooonnnnns 
Aspirate my choking lungs 
Never done 
Never done
Never done 
Anything worth 
A song that’s sung

[Chorus] 
I let you down gentlyyyyy
The only way 
That I know how
It wasn’t 
meant to be 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
The only way 
We can live now
I let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sorry that we fell this far 
I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy

[Bridge] 
It’s tough
You can’t apologise enough 
This stuff
Love is the only buzz
Head fuzz
Take me to the edge 
And give me a nudge 

[Chorus] 
I let you down gentlyyyyy
The only way 
That I know how
It wasn’t 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
The only way 
We can live now
I let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sorry that we fell this far 
I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy

You don’t find happiness 
In the search for 
More or less
More or less
More or less 
Be grateful for 
What you find
Right there 
Right there 
Right there 
At the back of your mind 

[Chorus] 
I let you down gentlyyyyy
The only way 
That I know how
It wasn’t 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
Meant to be 
The only way 
We can live now
I let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sorry that we fell this far 
I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 
Gentlyyyyyyyyyy






Gently

[Verse 1]
I got mashed potato clouds
And a baked bean sun
Fried egg brain
Head full o’bubblegum
Plastic pretend people
Don’t stop to say hello
I never let them cats
Ever turn my head ya know

[Chorus] 
And it’s alright
Cos yeah, I just got paid
And it’s alright
That’s all folks 
Sit back and watch me fade 

[Verse 2]
I got artificial thoughts 
And a real shiny gun 
Soda pop morals
Head full o’religion 
From my lonely rooftop
Watch ‘em listen to the man 
Go ahead and take the shot
Yes, please and thank you ma’am 

[Chorus] 
And it’s alright
Cos yeah, I just got paid
And it’s alright
That’s all folks 
Sit back and watch me fade

[Bridge] 
No win scenario 
Sit back and play Mario
Kobyashi Maru
I can be your captain too

[Verse 3]
I got crawdaddy legs
Try to be a good son
Hurricane eyes
Tell you what I done 
Blues got me singing 
Maids in a row 
I never let them cats
Ever turn my head ya know

[Chorus] 
And it’s alright
Cos yeah, I just got paid
And it’s alright
That’s all folks 
Sit back and watch me fade
(take a look at what ya made) 







That's all Folks

[Verse 1] 
It’s funny
When you watch the money
What’s the intent of your sound investment? 
Why complain when someone’s over represented
Snatching air time when what you really meant is
To sit back and watch the reaction
All you’re selling is snake oil and distraction
Not heeding Streeting’s bleating
Or chat by Kimmy from the block
Policy dictated by what U watch on tik tok
When you chatty natty
With mister gee pee tee
And it gets to know you
All the data
I just gave ya
Has a future value
Are you really bothered by DEI? 
Cos I’m not sure why you’d be wanting to try
To stop us getting fed maccy dees n kfcees
You are what you eat 
Or wear on your feet 
It’s transactional warfare
Poison me with junk
And then bankrupt me with healthcare 

[Chorus] 
Who’s buying this? 
(not me) 
Who’s selling this? 
(G B PLC) 
Off of  BLM you sell to them
(making noise across the country) 

[Verse 2]
I feel stress
Cos my kicks act like a gps
Track me in your matrix 
While you’re with your dominatrix
Update your VHA database 
Use AI to misidentify my face
I’m free styling buck whylin
While you’re racially profiling 
But I’m one step ahead 
I just stay in bed
And now and then 
I might VPN
Create some fear n hysteria 
My social media career steering ya
Move me from my hotel disgrace 
To a nice warm army base
At least I won’t be kept awake 
By the epic Epping massive mistake 
And even if you bang me up
You’ll accidentally let me out in a month 
Surveillance is your chance 
To learn how to dance 
Watch how I slide (sliiiiddddeee) 
Your political career into quick suicide 

[Chorus] 
Who’s buying this? 
(not me) 
Who’s selling this? 
(Talk TV) 
Off of  BLM you sell to them
(make some noise around the country)
 
[Verse 3]
What is there to be proud of?
In a country full of pound shops
You can sell ships and planes
To whoever you like
Won’t keep my son warm at night
Don’t worry about nett migration
Just sort out the mass tax evasion
I see you on the G B news
Getting shut down you clown
In a nuclear exchange of views
Frankly Anachronistic Rhetoric
Aggravating General Polemic
You rock the Enoch 
While I just hip hop
Are you flippin barmy? 
To vote for criminal immunity 
For the British army (eyes right) 

[Chorus] 
Who’s buying this? 
(not me) 
Who’s selling this? 
(BBC & ITV) 
Off of  BLM you sell to them
(my boyz across the country)

[Verse 4]
I’m back on the bandstand 
I ram and puncture 
And at this juncture 
I just got to mention 
Lines and rhymes 
And you can feel the tension 
Rise, is it any surprise? 
As I perform a miracle right before your eyes
And my lines blaze through summer daze
In winter times sonic crimes
Just stun and amaze 
Leave the curriculum
To those that won’t ridicule ‘em
Human rights law kicked out the door 
Credit cardio vascular spectacular 
Care just aint a word that sits in your vernacular 
I see you boyz in blue 
Planning Truss mark 2
So tell me 
(watcha watcha watcha) 
Gonna do? 

[Chorus] 
Who’s buying this? 
(not me) 
Who’s selling this? 
(the party) 
Off of  BLM you sell to them
(stand up across the country)
