The New Brutality

from Paradise by Paint It Black

/
  • Compact Disc
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The proverbial sophomore, matured, focused effort. If the history books speak fondly of our time on this earth, they will no doubt recount that this, PunkNews.org's #1 Album of 2005, was our most universally acclaimed album. Fourteen songs composed in the midst of a hurricane of divorce, work, death, gentrification, war, sex and W. We still play most of these songs, which means they are still great! Recorded by the greatest human being we know, J. Robbins, at Phase at the end of 2004. A rough year.

lyrics

They've got an army of accountants counting matchsticks, and an arsenal of distraction tactics. They'll use our senses against us: Manipulating desire and consensus. And they'll use guns; they'll use tear gas. I can hear the sound of boots on broken plate glass. We'll use song as inspiration. To be the rust in their machines is our intention. It's time. We’ve got to set it right, but these devils can't be fought with fists. Dissent, they want to shut it down. Just run your mouth, boy, you've made their list. I lie down with one eye open now, I know that sleep is the cousin of death. The hammer's swinging down, down, down. Fight back until your last breath. You wonder why we always play it safe? Our comforts are tying us down, and holding us back.
