The Cardboard Crowns - Long Armed Bandits

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “Lyrics: Well I heard the last man cry, and I watched the last brick fall, I could feel him as he died and I could smell him while he crawled down the streets where prophets lied, screamed “obedience will save us all“ watched the rich and poor divide, exporting guilt past nation wall, watch them prey upon their fear, “does this look good on me my dear?“ “blessed deity austere give me convenience, bless my peers... and let those other fuckers burn, I pray that someday they will learn, how to work hard and to try to pay back all the alms they’ve pried, from the ashtray in my truck cause I still don’t give a flat fuck, if they say they’re dying now, if they can’t find some help somehow“ “And I don’t care that they’re breathing fumes, as they sew up another pair of brand-name shoes, I don’t that my flag is planted in the hearts of those who lose.“ I saw them when no one was watching I saw them stealing, I heard them when no one was listening, I heard them screaming. And I have witnessed and will testify against all our patriotic crimes, and all the times we’ve ostracized revolutionary alibis. And they’ve trained us to believe that we deserve to steal hard-earned relief, from the global working class we’ve stashed in secret overseas. Globalized economy it has a human face, you are not some damn Canadian, you’re the human race. Globalized economy it has our human face, you are not a free american you’re the human race, The tyranny of industry it has our human face, you are not just an Australian, you’re the fear they taste, and injustice here on planet earth it wears a human face, and we are not the way we think we are. from Long Live the Kings, released April 20, 2011“
