Just managed to squeeze in another one...I think that's 15 I've written in 2020...and this one was a bit of an odd one. I've not written anything for a couple of months...but I had a bit of a tune kicking about for a little while and thought I'd put any concerns about what else it might have sounded like to one side and just get stuck into it. I didn't have much in the way of lyrics until tonight so I wrote 80% of it straight off and recorded the two vocals in about an hour. It's a bit of a crazy rant...but it just sort of captured the way I feel about the crock of shit that was 2020. It's a little rough and ready...but I'm glad to have knocked it out anyway...did me good to let off a little steam
How Much
How much do I hate this shit?
Let me count the ways
I don't just hate the things they do
I also hate the things they say
How much is it all fucked up?
How long have you got?
Must have seen it coming
Evidently not
Placing your trust
In self centred psychos
Seems we can't wait
To seal our own fate
Or you wish it away
Swallow the black pill
You'd rather comply
Curl up and die
Maybe you'd like to
Follow the science
Back to the day
They threw us away
Picked up the cheque
And sided with tyrants
You can't understand
They're part of the plan
They shepherd the flock
You don't even notice
The mark of the beast
Until you've been fleeced
By then it's too late
We're into the end game
You bleat yourself hoarse
They grab the mint sauce
How much do I hate this shit?
Let me count the ways
I don't just hate the things they do
I also hate the things they say
How much is it all fucked up?
How long have you got?
Must have seen it coming
Evidently not
I think we've lost the plot
We'll suss it when we're taken out and shot...
I knocked up a video for it...
Best wishes to everyone for 2021 (which I suspect might well be even worse)
