Lucrative Lies

The system gives you categories
To keep you all defined
You live to the image
Totally devoid of mind
The groups play by the system’s rules
The system they condemn
Preach universal freedom
When they mean freedom for them
When you write to them
You just receive a printed letter
Don’t you think a group that ‘cares’
Could do a little better
Pay them money, join their club
To show that you’re a fan
You’re feeding the fire
Playing right into their hands
Even when you see them live
You’re getting a bad deal
Herded into massive halls
No atmosphere, no feel
Anything with their name on
You must rush out and buy
The more you get
The more you just perpetuate the lie
Accept the shit they give you
Don’t admit you’re being conned
Give it two more years
Then you’ll see that you were wrong
You think by elevating them
You’ll cast away your chains
But when they’re rich and famous
You’ll still be just the same

Sick Games

Since I was young I’ve been told that I’m free
But now that I’m older it don’t seem like that to me
Was pumped by school and media with your brainwashing lies
Now I can see the truth your propaganda I despise
The people around me praise democracy
But all I can see is hypocrisy
Your sick games of power are wearing thin
Put one against the other and you know you’ll win
People commit murders and you openly condemn
But if it was in wartime you’d make heroes out of them
Crazy double values and your teachings keep them strong
But a murder is a murder and all killing is wrong
The people around me praise democracy
But all I can see is hypocrisy
Your sick games of power are wearing thin
Put one against the other and you know you’ll win
Your sacred cow called money that you lock up and conceal
Convince people they need it then you wonder why they steal
Lock people in prison because they must be taught a lesson
If this system’s the answer it must have been a stupid question
The people around me praise democracy
But all I can see is hypocrisy
Your sick games of power are wearing thin
Put one against the other and you know you’ll win

H-Block

From the outside it looks so grey
And inside many captives lay
You make them all wear uniforms
Won't admit they're prisoners of war
Won't allow them civilian clothes
Because they call them criminals
Won't look at it from their position
Just keep them locked up in your Maze Prison
H-Block H-Block do what you will
H-Block H-Block more blood will spill
H-Block H-Block in the fight
H-Block H-Block for their rights
Margaret Thatcher has no idea
She visits Antrim just once a year
Why can't she see what's going on
Why can't she see who is wrong
Bombs exploding in the street
Human beings are reduced to meat
How much longer 'til the freedom call?
Well that's a mystery to us all
H-Block H-Block do what you will
H-Block H-Block more blood will spill
H-Block H-Block in the fight
H-Block H-Block for their rights

Stereotypes

Stereotypes of all their mates
Got the same likes, got the same hates
Walking round all dressed the same
They’ve been caught into the game
Self-expression doesn’t count
They don’t know what it’s about
As long as they’re alike they’re safe
No one criticises their faith
Fit into the system’s slots
Become a sucker for their plots
Once they’ve caught you in their net
Then they know that you’re no threat

Riot/Clone London, UK
Formed in 1979, Riot/Clone have had many different line ups over the years with the only constant being singer Dave
Floyd.
They have released five EPs and four albums in that time, with another due for release 2020.
Mostly linked with the anarchopunk scene and in particular animal rights, Riot/Clone aren't for everyone, but if you like angry lyrics with catchy tunes they might be up your street!

One of my favorite punk records. I don't think it's possible to write guitar riffs that are a better aural equivalent to a middle finger

Radical thought and practice from one of the most consequential punk bands today.

Heavenly Rhythms for the Uninitiated
by True Body
Beautifully moody art rock from Virginia that recalls the dark glory of bands like Echo & the Bunnymen and Psychedelic Furs.

Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments.
