Call Him Daylight (Live)

“Do They Owe Us a Living?” is one of the very first songs recorded by the British anarchist punk band Crass in 1977. The chorus is “do they owe us a living? Of course they fucking do,” meaning that we all—regardless of who we are or where we come from or what we do for work—deserve quality of life. That this idea is still radical in 2020 is testament to the infuriating lack of creativity, empathy, and joy that constitutes life in a purely capitalist society. 

Crass sold their albums so cheaply they lost money on every sale; this single costs $5 and we’re donating 100% of proceeds to One Fair Wage’s Emergency Coronavirus Tipped and Service Worker Support Fund, which provides direct cash assistance to restaurant workers, car service drivers, delivery workers, personal service workers and more who are owed a living, now as ever. 

Our recording owes a huge debt of gratitude to The Soft Pink Truth, who recorded an excellent version of “Do They Owe Us a Living?” for 2004 for Do You Want New Wave (Or Do You Want The Soft Pink Truth?). Our cover is a cover of this cover. 

The Crass Logo was designed by Dave King. We made this pixel version in Animal Crossing.

Lyrics:

Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they do, of course they do 
Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they fucking do 

They don't want me anymore, threw it on the floor 
Used to call me sweet thing, I'm nobody's plaything 
And now that I am different, love to bust my head 
You'd love to see me cop out, love to see me dead 

Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they do, of course they do 
Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they fucking do 

The living that is owed to me, I'm never going to get 
Buggered this whole world up, up to their necks in debt. 
Give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done 
Make you the epitome of everything that's wrong 

Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they do, of course they do 
Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they fucking do 

Don't take any notice of what the public thinks 
So much on the TV, just don't want to think. 
Used you as a target, they want to sell advice 
When you don't want to hear it, say you're full of vice 

Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they do, of course they do 
Do they owe us a living? 
Of course they fucking do

Do They Owe Us A Living

YACHT - Do They Owe Us A Living?

The sixth album from Animal Collective founding member Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) Buoys, was co-produced and co-mixed by collaborator Rusty Santos in Lennox’s adopted home of Lisbon, Portugal. The album features Lennox’s bright, sincere voice along with his beatific approach to melodic structure and vocal phrasing, with miles of space surrounding it, a guitar and a few textured samples fleshing out the dubby sparseness and undercurrent of speaker-limit-pushing sub-bass low-end. Animated by their ongoing interest in contemporary music production techniques, it retains a deep layer of experimentation coursing through its hyper-modern production – a hallmark of Panda Bear releases that will feel intimately familiar to fans of Lennox’s decade-plus body of work.
