lyrics
This nation’s lost its mind. Those bastards lurk behind old money masterminds. This is the punchline. Laugh so you don’t cry. They concentrate the wealth. Profit from our poor health while we distract ourselves. This is the punchline. Laugh so you don’t cry.
The joke’s on us. Laugh it up. Laugh.
They bought the government. Millions of dollars were spent, while we all drown in debt. This is the punchline. Laugh so you don’t cry. Worst joke in history now runs this lost country. Cunt can’t even condemn Nazis. This is the punchline. Laugh so you don’t cry.
The joke’s on us. Laugh it up. Laugh.
This is the punchline. Laugh so you don’t cry. Laugh until you die.
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
