lyrics

The Long War

It’s not fair
Nothing’s ever coming
That will right all those wrongs
And there is no one in particular
To set it back to what it was

It’s not right
But no one ever noticed
Damage is way past done
Nothing’s all that damn remarkable
About wrecking everything you’ve ever loved

Jihad and justice league
Are down for a new century
Of wars that can’t be won
We are the reality:
cannon fodder casualties
And have been all along

It’s not fair
No one is responsible
To set it all in line
And there’s no one that’s all that desperate
To identify the cause this time

It’s not right
No one will admit it
Was just a common lie
And there’s nothing all that damn remarkable
About you hiding it from sight

Power and profit scheme
Are down for a new century
Of warring short and long
We are the reality:
cannon fodder casualties
And have been all along

Power and profit scheme
Are down for an eternity
Of wars that won’t be won
Defeat and victory
Are bad for business equally
My unfortunate son

The Long War

Not Like This
by Iron Chic

Just an amazing record from some great dudes. IMHO this record is an instant classic. In 20 years we'll still be singing along to it. Underground Communique Records

Another politically charged punk EP in 2016? Yeah. This could've been horrible, but instead it manages to be great. It seems that J. Robbins can always manage to get amazing musicians together to create great music with him. The female vocals are sick too. Feels like early pixies. needsmorerage
