about
A song about the conditions the ruling class of this country have created whereby young people are forced to emigrate in search of work - with the full encouragement of the government, who can then spout a load of bullshit about how unemployment has been reduced. After the illusion of the Celtic Tiger has been blown away, it's back to the same shit for Paddy: the dole queue or the boat...
lyrics
You know you're not the first, and you won't be the last
An entire generation forced to emigrate en masse
Been told that the grass is greener on the other side
But you know that you've been taken, taken for a ride
Push 'em, shove 'em, tell 'em where to go
Anywhere but here, we don't wanna know
Push 'em, shove 'em, know they're gonna crack
Bring 'em to the ports and stab 'em in the back
Push 'em, shove 'em, nothing for you here
Make 'em feel worthless, fill 'em full of fear
Push 'em shove 'em, never to return
Another generation who've been burned
We've heard it all before, how we're to blame
How we should all just hang our heads in shame
Standing there with hands outstretched
Nothing but a pauper, a horrible wretch
In the depths of despair, growing suicide rates
They try to misdirect, to misdirect our hate
To the migrant workers, and our own class too
But I point the finger of blame, it's pointing squarely at you
They say I dreamt too tall
When I hardly dreamt at all
Say I speculated too much
I never did anything such
They say I borrowed too big, make me out to be a greedy pig
Say I'm stepping out of line when I try to get, get what's mine

Brilliant full-speed-ahead Oi!/streetpunk with a great attitude. Absolutely savage live band as well - gets the crowd moving. Hope to see them make their way down South (maybe Cork?) sometime. HxC Hugh

Tone of the Times was one thing.... This EP, steps it all up to a point beyond WOW. I seriously cannot get enough of these amazingly talented folk. Aon Grá. Gerard Gallagher
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
