LYRICS:
4 3 2 and it's going back

Lights out I'm losing feeling
My luck got struck by the bee sting
I think the world is changing me
I can feel it in my veins

Who's face is that on the ceiling
I look, and they look back at me
I know this world is changing
I just can't it afford it but now

It don't matter to me

4 3 2 and we're going back

Life moves fast like a freight train
What's wrong if everything seems right
Get a job to live for a pay day
Keep your head screwed on real tight

Don't bash the things on the TV
I look and they look back at me
They say the world is changing I can see it on the screen

It don't matter to me

Kingpin

Things You Say

I'm Giving Up

'Waste away' is the latest toe-tapping explosive single in The Dirty Pennies arsenal of raw and energetic riff-fueled rock tunes.
Lyrically the listener may find themselves connecting with themes of attention deficit, cynicism, and apathetic viewpoints influenced by the obsession or disdain for social media and TV which drive our narcissistic society.

I'M YOUR MAN

The Dirty Pennies have continued to evolve since their formation in 2012, where Ryan Klem and Lucas Howe began as a gritty psych influenced blues rock duo, which soon evolved into punk/garage rock territory with the help of then  bassist Joe Mungo. Today the group takes a step deeper into the pool of psych rock with the addition of Sean Doohan on bass and Doug Kelley keys/synth. Stay tuned for new music in 2023.
