Punish, punish the poor
No hope left, we understand
Bleeding beggar on the fat of the land
On your bike, go get a job, no excuses
You can’t find work? - your character’s wrong
Your bad choices one by one
Mean you’re worth what you’re worth just like me
This is a meritocracy
Punish, punish the poor
No mistake, there is an issue
The working class are the cause of the trouble
What you lot need is a short sharp shock
We’ll find a way to deepen the hole
Make it impossible to live on the dole
Down in the gutter, freezing on the street
That’ll soon teach you to find your feet
Punish, punish the poor
And we’re working for money not you
While you’re painting all the boroughs blue
We’ll make life so hard, for your disgusting underclass
Cut off the honey, slash - burn - save my money
Making life hard for your disgusting underclass

We fell in love with a clown
He was as happy as paint could make anyone
Turning a frown upside down
No tear allowed no telling of tale
Salt in a cellar and drown
Pocket of pain, river of blood
Meat, skin, bone, muck
Squeeze, release, pressure, flush
Clown
Do you want pickle with that
Do you want salad, market diversity
Do you want shit in a bap
Star on your chest and a corporate identity
Dirty old man in a wrap
Supersizing the fat trap
Coffee, go, plastic, throw
Love it here, never go
Clown
You corporate fuck
Clown, clown, clown

Who Killed Nancy Johnson? recommends:
Unique harsh but melodic vocals over a shimmering backwash of dark, angry, intense music.
go to album
Self-titled three-track EP. All three songs are strong, but the first, Written Words, is utterly brilliant - clever, rippling with energy, and an inventive ending.

Sinking In LP (LUNGS-145)
by ACRYLICS
Released in November 2019 and a late contender for record of the year. Hard-edged hardcore and post-hardcore with a really inventive approach to song construction.
