Verse 1 She came to look for me/ With flowers in her hair, dead flowers there/ Said do you want to dance? I want to dance!/Held three dead lilies and a gun in her hands Chorus Get on your bike and pedal out of my life/You’re so fucking dumb and you taste like cherry bubblegum/Set them up barman I’ll carry that cross/You relax with a cup of joe and a candyfloss Verse 2 I know a girl she’s got a curl/Right in the middle of her forehead/When she is good she is very, very good/But when she is bad, my God she’s horrid! Chorus Punks not dead just all of my friends/There once was more of us than them/Left to my own voices and my own devices/I’m at ease with my disease Chorus You know you’re a psycho and nobody likes you/As for me I kind of idolise you/No such rose arose in her cheeks/Our lips doth meet mine heart doth beat
2.
Verse 1 Failure is always an option in the morbid dark of my mood/You silhouette looms then moves for a moment/Before walking in to the sunshine for good/The world is fucked and doesn’t make any sense and I’m a thousand miles deep behind a barb wire fence/A box within a box to keep my fragile ego in place/And I just can’t take another fucking hit/I’ve spent so long wallowing in this pit/I couldn’t see the light of joy if it smacked me right in the face Pre Chorus Keep climbing/Because the sky stretches on forever and ever/Keep smiling/Don’t let the bastards know that you know better Chorus Just give me something for the pain/A little kick to get me moving/Oh I can take another day/If I know exactly what I’m proving/I don’t expect you all to stay/Until I drag you down to where I’m losing/Just give me something for the pain/And close the door/Turn out the lights Verse 2 Welcome to an old friend of mine, people see what they want to see/Never show that you’re bleeding loneliness/It’s the wound that will never heal/Slap on a grin but try as I might, there’s always yet another tunnel at the end of my light/I find the strength to try again from somewhere deep in my soul/But when finally get back up on your feet, there are only two types of the people you meet/Those who pull up the ladder and those who will fill in the hole Verse 3 Loving where you are is earned and every second you’re alive is another lesson learned/If we all love each other we can break away from any hold/Tomorrow always is another day, and purpose is the brush that adds the colour to the grey/Learn to spot your allies, they are worth their weight in gold

Intro Oh no, here we go not another bit like this/Same as the last one, how formulaic/And why do you always have to yell so much?/Just sit back down and shut your mouth/What is it though this drug we’re taking? I reckon we ought to be thinking about it and no mistaking/But you’re in such a rush to start mandating /And I ain't hating/But isn’t that fascist?/Or least what we all have been trying to fight against/Did Antifa go too far and the left start righting wrongs left undone/When a kid with a gun, shot someone/And Will Smith hit the rocks in a dress/All this garbage you’re pumping up into our brains made me digress/Australia is lost, Canada is lost, France is lost, UK is lost/Checkmate, that’s what I’m saying/And none of us ever got told the what rules are or the fact that we’d started the game we were playing/Isn’t it ironic like Alanis once said/How young men everywhere are dropping dead/Off the chart since 2021 another heart attack at the starter’s gun/Mass formation everyone get into step/Here come the Technocrats with an agenda preset that they called agenda 21/Welcome to the age of depopulation/So I say, give peace a chance no more/They’re already fighting, so I call for war Verse 1 Experimen-no/Not what you thought I would say hey?/You better keep on walking if you’re talking that way/Antivaxeline fuck you I’m going in dry/A’int nothing in my blood except too much pie/New rum burgers/tore it up when the planet hit the skids/So they could go experi mental on our kids, oh fuck. Chorus Walk it off son where’s the magic sponge?/We took two years of your life with no refunds/And we gave (You got) back was a heart attack with full (no) indemnity/So walk it off son x4 Verse 2 Coronas? 19 and a line of shots/Put a lime in each bottle and line them up/We’ll drink down your pejoratives then drag you outside/Fuck you up for your cowardly pride/Totalitarians tiptoed through the schools/Took our babies hands, and tore up all the rules. Oh Fuck! Bridge Something shifted on a poison idea/Some chose to bury their faces in the fear/Climbed right in the pot and let the state drop the lid/So they could psychologically torture our kids/Cowered in fear ignoring the results Let our culture fall in thrall to a cult/Smear dissent with the stench of Trump/Get your media to convince the people that hate is love/Ukraine is lost, America is lost, humanity’s loss is the final cost/We let them pour their poisons through the schools/Ever get the feeling you’ve been fooled?/So I say “give peace a chance” no more They came for our kids/I call for war. Verse 3 You turn your head round, and close your mind the right way/You can blame Russia for anything on a clear enough day/And I wonder what was happening while we were looking that way?/Never mind, roll up your sleeve and Slava Ukraine!/Day after day they take everything from us/So when they came for the kids/We didn’t even make a fuss. Fuck you.

Verse 1 Good guy, gone bad, we found another body in the park today/Some say that I did it/But there’s nobody who saw me do it/Feel free to follow me, if you want to see another dead body/Is that a gun in your hand?/My dear, loyal friend Verse 2 Fight fire with fire, Fight poverty with poverty let’s burn all the money/Wayward shots, wayward aim/Fight the good fight, all the zombies must die/An eye for an eye and a life for a life/Another dream, a new regime the process starts again/Buy a gun and lock your door/Board up your windows get ready for work and war! Chorus I hear you screaming/Sometimes late at night you know I still wake up/And hear you screaming Verse 3 Bubonic or pandemic? Fleas or rats, boils or breath lets choose/Roll call, roll call/Tie your laces stand in line you are the next to die/Science or God? If this is the new deal then I don’t much like it/Dead man, face down/The scum always rises back to the top
5.
Verse 1 Another brutal murder in a shopping mall (what’s on the news?)/Our reporter on the scene, he filmed it all (what’s on the news?)/Armed to the teeth a reluctant zero (what’s on the news?)/It seems that one man’s monster is another man’s hero (it depends what’s on the news?) Pre Chorus So tell me, tell me what can I think today?/This is hell for me, won’t end well for me/Because I can’t trust what you say/And I won’t live like this for one more day Chorus What’s on the news? Verse 2 Another deadly virus sweeping through the population (what’s on the news?)/And we cannot underestimate the environmental devastation!/what’s on the news?)/Our benevolent cannot guarantee your safety. (what’s on the news?)/So you’d better lock yourselves up and hand us the key. (what’s on the news?) Middle 8 So tell me, tell me, tell me another Goebellian lie/Feed me on your fever dream, we’ll let the sponsors decide/A line’s been drawn, a narrative point but don’t look under that rug/Look into my eyes, here’s a nice surprise, we’re going to sell you a wonder drug! Verse 3 A tiny revolution in a shopping mall (what’s on the news?)/The armed police they killed them all…good (what’s on the news?)/There are internment camps at the end of every street now (what’s on the news?)/Because those that forget are condemned to repeat now (what’s on the news?) Outro So here it is the whole kerfuffle all laid out bare/We’re in a state of mass hypnosis driven by prolonged fear/We’re forced to trust implicitly in an authority that it’s proven we can trust/Crawling over the bodies to the moral high ground is a cultural must/Give a man enough hope and he will hang his self/There’s our freedom hidden away like a trophy on a shelf/If we do exactly what we’re told then they might just let us live/Promising to give us back our freedom like it was ever theirs to give/“For your safety and convenience” the totalitarian mantra/Another goose-step forward for the art of propaganda/The news got bought so it isn’t that new/And the last thing they want is an educated you.
6.
Verse 1 I know I’m a very special lab rat/I accept what I’ve been taught/Every choice I make in life it sucks/Some choices suck more than other choices/With your delusions of grandeur, and your pocket book Freud/Though we never get beyond the beginning/The sun will rise tomorrow no rhyme and no reason Verse 2 Everybody is dead at the end of someday/Just holding on to our misery/Here’s to hope, there’s no hope, here’s to no hope at all/Hope someone is there to catch me when I fall/You can find yourself man, if you knew where to look/Though we never get beyond the beginning/The sun will rise tomorrow no rhyme and no reason Middle 8 Starve a fever, feed a cold/Deeper down, there is no deeper down/I won’t be scared/I won’t be scared/I won’t be scared of your pressure I don’t sweat you/Precious words are treasures bless the man who dies fighting for our right to use language/My free expression is a right not a privilege And I chose to dig the furrow of the way live/You think you know me? What the fuck have you ever shown me except a heavy boot and a great respect for authority?/The way I live is my river to drown in/The hill I die on only I can fucking climb it/Starve a fever feed a cold, feed an ego and this shit gets really old/Scratching at the surface until you think you’re paying rent/But your pop-psyche ruminations will only let you know what’s absent/Try to turn those eyes in a mirrored direction/I own my actions not your flawed perceptions/So infectious! One follows one follows one follows one/Until it all adds up to a long walk home when we all die alone/When you’re all the way down/There is no deeper
7.
Verse 1 I don't care what's left or right/Because left and right is dead/Paradigm turned to pejorative to stop the thoughts right in your head Verse 2 My eyes were torn open to abyss I was woken/And yes, I did see/Now I swear I'll fight to my death with my very last breath/For our children to be free Chorus This is ugly, this is war/But look back and you'll see that we have won this before/So fight! When the fight is hardest and when the night is darkest cry out "I am still here"/And when the cold dark comes in to drown you/Feel our warm arms around you Brothers and sisters, we're here/The injectors defective in my ejector seat Verse 3 Young leader, young leader are you left or right?/Because us worthless eaters, parasites/Ask what the fuck gives you the right to hijack civilisation?/We lost before we knew the war/All we have left is pride/So you can trust this, vengeance-justice, we will turn this tide
8.
Chorus Its you and me against the world/And the world doesn’t stand a chance now we’re together/Its you and me against the world/And the world doesn’t stand a chance if we’ve got each other Verse 1 Night turns to night the darkness bleeds/The end result what supersedes/Until we’re a name on a list of names that no-one remembers/Fight the good fight, have a good life/A shot to the head I just couldn’t die/Everybody has got a story and I’m sick of everyone’s stories! Verse 2 Once battles fought, both victors slain/Flowers never grow on the vanquished graves/I’m excluding everyone else in the world right now, excluding you/Everything is so easy now/This screwed up world is mine and yours/Enjoy the world, we’ll destroy the world – do you remember? Middle 8 It’s you and me, against the world/It’s you and me against the world/Against the world, it’s you and me/It’s you and me against the world

about

So, for the first time as a 4-piece band Dropping Like Flies realised it was time for the band to record and release a follow to the 2021 debut LP Trigger3391133. The 2nd album is a little shorter and a lot more carefully thought out with 8 songs (and maybe a surprise) the band have really diversified and expanded upon their sound. Self recorded in 2023 and mixed and produced by Kel Pinchin of the band Modern Error we are incredibly proud of this, our 2nd collection of songs.
