lyrics
Waking to the sound of someone killing your dreams. Get up, go to work, just as pointless as it seems. Mental gymnastics to explain who we are. Revolution, evolution, we’re not getting very far. Bow to the puppets pulling your strings. Selling you freedom as they shackle your wings. They don’t give a fuck and they never did. They don’t give a fuck and they’d rather be rid of you. And me. Fuck you. And me.
Time to go to sleep so you escape the nightmare. Reality has become everything that you fear. Racist, homophobic, sexist fascist elite. Stand so much taller with people under their feet. Bow to the puppets pulling your strings. Selling you freedom as they shackle your wings. They don’t give a fuck and they never did. They don’t give a fuck and they’d rather be rid of you. And me. Fuck You. And me.
You’re making America hate again. Greatness was never your goal. You’re tearing us all apart again.
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
The perfect blend of naive enthusiasm and unfiltered rock 'n' roll danger, leading to an explosive, raw sound. Volcanic, pure, and crushing. Bandcamp New & Notable May 30, 2017
