Lyrics:

look into their eyes
what do you see?
I see fear, innocence and agony
look at their souls
what do you see?
punishment without criminality
look into their minds
what do you see?
why the fuck are you doing this to me?
look at their flesh
what do you see?
the blood of needless pain from your insanity

unseen, they suffer
unheard, they cry
in agony, they linger
in loneliness, they die

look at yourself
what do you see?
the bastard who inflicted pain on me
look into your soul
what do you see?
the conscience of a killer who refuses to let me free
look into your mind
what do you see?
selfishness
the pedestal of apathy
look into your heart
what do you see?
surely not a human from your indecency

unseen, they suffer 
unheard, they cry 
in agony, they linger 
in loneliness, they die

electrodes in my head
straps secure my arms
I know these humans
are out to do me harm
caged from day of birth
unable to walk free
why can't these bastards
fucking let me be
I know these humans
are out to do me harm
endless, senseless torture on a science slaughter farm
years of animal testing
how can this be true?
you'd surely feel different
if I did this crime on you
animal torture
how can this exist?
a crime with no law
committed by scientists
electrodes in my head
electrodes in my head
now dead.

NAUSEA is one of the most influential New York City punk bands ever. Among the first bands to combine raw punk, metal and intense socio-political lyrics, creating a style often imitated but rarely equaled. Dual female/male vocalists trade off over a ferocious musical backdrop that found its way into the sound of bands like NEUROSIS, LOGICAL NONSENSE and ANTISCHISM, to bands of today like KYLESA, SKARP and LEFTOVER CRACK. “The Punk Terrorist Anthology Vol. II 1986-1988” collects 30 NAUSEA tracks including several live, unreleased and demo tracks and classic songs like ‘Smash Racism’, ‘Clutches’ (recently covered by KYLESA) and ‘Godless’, which are as relevant today as when they were recorded nearly two decades ago. This is the first of several Black Noise Records releases to be released in cooperation with Alternative Tentacles.

Nausea  -  Home Sweet Home

“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
