I haven’t generally been known to “do politics” but if I did… I was on my way to the studio reading an article about yet another government-backed corporation announcing multi-billion dollar profits despite “acceptable losses” levied against them for both financial and criminal misconduct.
Money money money. Crony capitalism. Corporations being bailed out by their governments while still generating massive (and I mean massive) profits for their shareholders. Paying out millions upon millions in stock dividends while laying off hundreds, if not thousands (if not hundreds of thousands considering our current situation) of employees due to profit-warnings and expected loss of earnings.
It’s fucked. And it’s happening more and more. And it’s happening everywhere. They feel a pinch and we feel the punch.
I don’t generally “do politics” but if I did this is what it would sound like… fourteen guitars and the nastiest most distorted bass I’ve ever recorded. Destruction brought to you by Black Arts Toneworks and Death By Audio.

I see you taking aim
I see you taking aim
I see you taking aim
I see you taking aim
Another ache
Another pain
Another day just spent trying to fight the decay
Another lie
It’s all the same
Just more bullshit
So the new normal feels mundane
There ain’t no East
There ain’t no West
They’re just the one percent that think
“Yea fuck the rest”
We see you taking aim
We see you taking aim
But now we know the enemy
